    Yes, I am well aware of this!  That is my point... because in reality, "the wall" did not come out of Trump's mouth first!  In fact, Bill Clinton was the first person to talk about building a wall at the border... and both Hillary and Obama have also proposed the same thing.

    In fact, Hillary proposed almost every single detail of building a wall, including the reasons it is needed (violence, drugs and economic impacts of illegal immigration), the measures that could be taken (deportation and building a physical barrier), and who should bear the responsibility for it (the Mexican government)

    AND YET... not only have I never heard the media criticize any of those people for it... I strongly suspect none of these people were up in arms about it when those people proposed it, or called any of them racists.

    Why can't someone duplicate the conditions of Colombia and grow indoor coke?

    Probably just a matter of time.
    Damn this fine country's reliance on drugs!! If not for coca and poppy we would've stopped the flow of mexicans and arabs into this country a long time ago. We're should come up with hydroponic coca, Hugh. We'll be billionaires.

    The Department of Homeland Security will begin building prototypes for President Trump's proposed wall along the Mexican border this summer...

     The department is ready to begin testing designs on land that is already owned by the government. Four to eight designs will be built and tested..Officials at U.S. Customs and Border Protection have received "hundreds" of designs for the border wall, but the agency has yet to choose

    Funding for Trump's border wall was not included in the budget submitted by the White House for fiscal year 2018, but DHS has allocated $20 million from other programs to pay for the prototypes.

    Designs for the wall should be at least 18 feet high and have features to prevent climbing over and tunneling beneath the structure, and vendors are instructed to make the designs "aesthetically pleasing" on the U.S. side.

    I'd like to see the use of gargoyles and high relief.

    anyway, there are so many problems with this idea.  i won't even get into the construction and maintenance costs but if it worked, what does trump think would happen with the energy produced by the wall.
     
    it has to be transported somewhere. how and where would it be transported?  would it power all of those houses on the mexico/US border? 

    my guess is trump has no idea how solar energy works.  he could probably tell his supporters his other plan is to send a rocket ship to the sun and cut off a piece of it and bring it home to power the earth (not the muslim parts tho) for the next million years.  as long as we go at night when the sun isn't not shining, it'll work.  his supporters would stand up ad cheer. 


    however, wireless solar power transmission is probably something that will materialize one day.  if trump was serious about this kind of thing, he could seek to invest in that kind of technology as part of a plan to get off of fossil fuels.  but we all know the solar wall nonsense is about as serious as mexico paying for it.

    i can't tell if trump is insane and really dumb or just says this stuff because that's his audience and he's testing the boundaries of their ignorance.  like a sadistic game.

    Why can't someone duplicate the conditions of Colombia and grow indoor coke?

    Probably just a matter of time.
    The coca plant grows primarily in Peru, and Bolivia exclusively, must be outdoors, above 8,000ft, direct natural sunlight, with soil content found only in this region, the plant is rooted, not seeded, indoor growth is improbable (you cannot duplicate these conditions)...you'd think someone would have figured it out by now, well, those are the reasons as to why it's just not happening...
