I am feeling your comment about reduction in chaos, but honestly I do not understand the constituency etc that you mentioned. Just trying to explain my mindspace at the moment.

When President Trump mentioned a complex payment arrangement, or whatever words he used, I envisioned a contract that says the more you help us not build a fence the less fence we will build. Man Law.

Seriously though, IMO, before we contemplate a bigger wall we need to look at NAFTA with the benefit of hindsight. We essentially have a clean house to redecorate and Mexico is staged to provide the furnishings. Are we uncomfortable with staring at a blank canvas? To me that is where the fun work is. The art. City design. Nuevo Americana?

Building a wall would simply be kicking the can of redesign down the road.
