Donald Trump: 'we Will Build Mexico Border Wall'

[naomi24]

//The new US president is expected to sign several executive orders regarding immigration and border security over the next few days.

They are likely to include the "extreme vetting" of people coming from seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa.

This would restrict refugee access.//

When trump signs these " executivey orders " are they then voted on in the senate to be passed ?

It might be started, but never finished.

Trump will get bored of the project, and his Government won't want to waste vast amounts of money on it. Progress will be slow, and then stop.

Gromit, I'm not so sure.

BBC hype once again:

/// They are likely to include the "extreme vetting" of people coming from seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa. ///

/// This would restrict refugee access. ///

It would not restrict refugee access, but quite rightly they would be "extremely vetted"to make sure that they are genuine refugees.

Which can't be a bad thing after all, pity we didn't do the same when we let all those 'adult children' in.

/// What they will need to do though is make sure that doesn't become isolationist and foster hate. ///

It would seem that enough hate has been fostered already.

The issue with a future incoming President cancelling "Trump's Folly" is that the building contracts signed will almost certainly make any cancellation fees ridiculously exorbitant. I don't know how good US law is about declaring a contract unfair and thus invalid. An individual with a dream signs but it is the people who have to pay.

Will Mexican labour be employed to build the wall ?

[Old_Geezer]

DT is making a big thing about hiring American building labour so many Americans get jobs. So not many Mexicans I'd suspect.

Trump is ......... (insert lots of negative adjectives once I wake up) so this might be his master-plan.
