One stumbling block will be that "Trump's Folly" will have to be built on privately owned land. I guess he will have to invoke eminent domain in some of these cases. Not exactly a pillar of Republican thought.

Physically, it's fairly daunting. There is terrain it will have to cross that doesn't easily lend itself to building some sort of huge wall. Costs will have to be astronomical and congress holds the purse strings.

Personally, I'd rather see those billions (trillions?) of tax dollars go towards upgrading railroads (hi-speed rail), highways and other infrastructure such as cleaner energy production.

Just spit balling here on the left coast sans coffee...(grin)
