"I will give you an idea that nobody has heard about yet," he said. "The southern border. Lots of sun, lots of heat. We are thinking about building a wall as a solar wall. So it creates energy. And pays for itself."

"And this way, Mexico will have to pay much less money. And that's good. Right?" quipped the president, whose initial pledge to make Mexico pay for the wall has met with stiff resistance from America's southern neighbor.

"Think of it, the higher it goes, the more valuable it is," he enthused.


"Solar wall, panels, beautiful. I mean actually think of it, the higher it goes the more valuable it is. Pretty good imagination right? Good? My idea!""



Also worth noting is that it isn't actually an idea Trump came up with...
''The US administration put out a call for proposals several months ago for the construction of the border wall, one of which -- submitted by a Las Vegas businessman named Tom Gleason -- involved using solar panels.''

Does anyone really still think Mexico is going to pay us anything at all for this?

It would be more useful than the original wall, but it would explode the costs incredibly along with having to build different stations to store the energy from the solar panels. And the wall is already a complete waste of money that is just all for show.

If you are serious about stopping illegal immigration you would hire more patrol agents and invest in technology. Not build a wall that people can always go over or under.

You would also want a successful Mexico because than less people would emigrate over to the US.

This. The wall was possibly the stupidest point he pushed in his campaign. I didn't expect him to actually try following through with it.

Also, couldn't criminals around the border just try to steal the panels? They'd have to dump even more money into security and stuff to protect the panels.

That and improve the passports and green cards since expired shit like that is the source for illegal immigration.

Racism is big business. Let's get real, mexican immigration is not an issue for the average person. Big business loves it because it provides them a cheap source of labor to exploit. Trumpis full of shit


He knows there will be no real wall. He knows that Mexico will not pay for it. He knows Racists will gladly agree spend billions on some stupid fuck wall if it will keep brown people out. Thus making him more money for him and his buddies

"It shouldn't be a real quote but it is" is like the best one-line summary of this administration.

It would have to be in only some sections of the wall.

Kinda like how the wall will actually be a fence in some sections.

That's stupid. Trump should forget the dumb wall part and build solar panels somewhere safe.
