Alternate Translation, the US / Mexican War is about to start, as soon as Führer Trump & his Brownshirts can think of a way to blame it on Mexico. Perhaps Mexicans will take over a Texas Radio Station, or even burn down the Reichstag.

Americans like drugs that's why drugs are coming through Mexico to the United States. If Americans were buying grapes those are entirely legal and can get here with little hassle, but it's drugs, it's really expensive because cacao is not grown in the United States and it's really illegal. To solve this problem we could make cocaine legal and tax the hell out of it like we do cigarettes or Americans can stop taking drugs.

If he really were a master strategist, Trumpangrabber would have let The Wall idea quietly fade from memory. As a campaign promise it kicks ass - simple enough for the deplorables to understand while Trump struts and frets about like Mussolini. Any actual wall, however, would inherently be a piss-poor copy; a weak sister of the other one, sad...pathetic - no matter how handsome, dignified, and impregnable. And every chinaman he tries to negotiate with will look askance at him and think "this guy is a fucking idiot".

The best deterrent for the lazy, foolish, or less committed border crossers is the Sonoran desert itself. But highly motivated, intelligent, persistent people usually find a way. Those people usually make excellent workers. The prevaling wisdom in southwest construction circles is to prefer Spanish speakers before they get fucked up by American culture.

Good plan. I'll give you a "good dog" gold star, but no pics of my rod unless you throw in waffle mix and REAL maple syrup. I'm no common Anthony Wiener. I have (some) ethical standards

Their southern border is protected by the KGB (killer green bud). It is highly effective and reasonably priced.

See my reply to Biff52. Did I mention that the KGB was highly effective?

Cacao (Theobroma cacao) doesn't grow anywhere in United States, that's true. But it's what chocolate comes from. Maybe you're think of coca (Erythroxylum coca). Dang, I knew I took five credit hours of botany way back when for a reason.

Back in the late 19th century, when Mexico had a problem with gringo border crossers, President Porfirio Díaz famously said, "Between us and the United States... the desert!". Or these guys: https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
