We hope that PE Trump doesn’t get in any hurry because we want a non-penetrating  wall in addition to be a “better mouse trap.”  How about a mote on the American side with alligators?

Build the wall! Trump SLAMS media lies.

January 6, 2017

Let’s cut through the media spin and say it right away.
America is going to build the wall. Mexico is going to pay for it. And President-elect Donald Trump insists that the media is lying if they say otherwise.
Trump tweeted Friday that, in the interest of time, America will start building the border wall soon — and that Mexico will reimburse American taxpayers. U.S. money spent will be for the “sake of speed.”
His tweet came as the mainstream media attacked the plan be considered to ask Congress to ensure money is available in U.S. coffers for the wall, but to rely on existing law that already authorizes fencing and other technology along the southern border.
The potential approach was confirmed Thursday by two congressional officials and a senior transition official with knowledge of the discussions; all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly told voters if elected he would build a wall along the U.S. southern border and make Mexico pay for it — and all reports indicate he’s doing everything he can to make good on that vow.
Trump transition spokesman Sean Spicer said putting U.S. money up-front “doesn’t mean he’s broken his promise.” In an interview Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Spicer said: “I think he’s going to continue to talk to them (the Mexican government) about that.”
Trump’s approach could also bypass potential resistance from establishment insiders, if the president-elect were to ask Congress to pass a measure authorizing the kind of border wall he promised during the campaign.
Several lawmakers and congressional officials said the administration could have significant flexibility in taking additional steps without Congress’ approval.
“There’s a lot of things that can be done within current law,” said Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a longtime proponent of comprehensive immigration reform. “You cannot minimize the potential impact of the administration doing what they can do under the law,” he said.
However, some immigration hard-liners have already expressed the desire to see Congress take a vote, given how prominent the wall was during Trump’s presidential campaign, and their desire to act on the issue.
Trump’s vow to build an impenetrable, concrete wall along the southern border was his signature campaign proposal. “Build the wall!” supporters would chant at his rallies. “Who’s going to pay for it?” Trump would ask them. “Mexico!” Trump often promised the wall would be built of hardened concrete, rebar and steel as tall as his venues’ ceilings, and would feature a “big, beautiful door” to allow legal immigrants to enter.
