Horse face calling it as it is.
But with a wall, he will be remembered as a small cartoon figure who briefly inflamed and amused the rabble enough to get an expensive wall built.
I've not seen it asked, never mind answered, but where are they going to find people who work in 110 degrees heat ? Will they use the fruit-pickers in the off-season?
It has been mentioned that the budget for building the wall does not take into consideration the budget for maintaining the wall. But when it comes to manning it, I don't know if that has come up. However, I would guess that it would be largely unmanned. After all, there are border police who patrol along the border already - having a wall will not make their job harder. They will probably have to do what they do now, and regularly patrol the areas where there are the most crossings and ensure that the wall is not breached.
Obviously it won't stop people crossing - it will make it more difficult, but far from impossible. If they want an impenetrable barrier then they will have to put up guard posts. And pay the guards well, to avoid them taking bribes (as enough of them do at the moment). But the designs don't seem to have guard posts, so my assumption is that the wall is to be a symbol rather than a genuinely uncrossable barrier between the US and Mexico.
