The wall will be a boon for ladder manufacturers, not to mention the contractors who build it. For the rest of us, it will be an expense. Our tax dollars will pay for it, and if Trump tries to make Mexico pay for it by imposing a tariff on Mexican goods, we’ll pay for it again in increased costs of imported goods (and decreased exports to Mexico, which will no doubt retaliate). It also won’t do what it’s supposed to do, significantly reduce the flow of illegal immigrants.
