Just heard on the news that Trump is going to force though documents to make it government policy to build the wall along the American/Mexican border to keep out illegal immigrants!
When I first heard about this during the presidential campaign I thought "naaah, surely not". |  | | |  |

That's a new one to me, i must say, but of course I only read mainstream media. Any chance of a brief potted history of how this came to be (pretty please)? |
Well, it's true that the mainstream media won't tell you - that's for sure.
To determine if someone's a friend or an enemy of another country you need to look at what they do, not what it's reported to have been said on TV.
Every year there's some footage of a missile landing in the sea somewhere and Kim Jong Un looking through some binoculars at the landing spot, or at Japan or perhaps with some really powerful binoculars even at America. This tends to be done just around US defence budget time. Jong un and his dad just kept US military spending high. Good lad.

He is just acting like a CEO.
Signing a bunch of memo's telling people to do something.
In a couple of weeks he can go back to running his other companies.
Doesn't really matter if stuff happens or not, he can just say they did. His supporters will believe. |  | | |

oh very good, you're being mischievous now aren't you. the cil persona is so effective that one often can't tell. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

One must try harder then. The other ninety-nine can tell very easily. | |

I wouldn't insult you. By the way, I think you have the most underrated profile pic on TWTD. | |

He hasn't, really...
As far as I'm aware, he didn't make schools 'gun-free zones' on his first day; nor have Mrs Clinton arrested. (Maybe he spent too long on the first day trying to tell us that the rain stopped and sun came out for his swearing-in and inaugural speech; it didn't).
He seems to be replacing Obamacare with 'Obamacare(Light)-by- a-different-name'.
As for draining the swamp (which should've been done pre inauguration) he has not merely left the swamp intact, he has now infested it with sharks. |

Who are these sharks you talk of, and why are they sharks? | |

A whole host of reasons have been presented:
- it causes problems where it divides lands (e.g. 3 native American tribes would be affected apparently; exiting proposed routes split private property in some places resulting in lengthy court battles)
- there have been accusations of land grab (moving the border into Mexico)
- the existing fence, walls and border controls have been shown to massively reduce illegal entry, so there's an argument as to whether it's value for money
- It can adversely affect natural drainage causing flooding to properties and land
- it affects migration of animal species
- it will need to be built across environmental sensitive areas
As usual, it's a little bit more complicated than the simplistic rhetoric that comes from Trump. And it's nothing new. |
Is there anything about great crested newts? |  | | |
