The climate change one scares me the most as well. We should be focused on renewable energy more than anything right now. It's a much bigger threat than terrorism. And building a wall and kicking out immigrants is so backwards. We need to be more united as humans and work together, not put up more barriers.

What's wrong with making people come through a door in a wall? You realize some people have homes with walls around them and they actually prefer visitors to ring the doorbell and wait for you to let them in. It's the exact same principle. If you lose sight of this very simple concept then you need to go back and see where you overcomplicated it. You don't see people like Richard Feynman going "oh this quantum mechanics, it's just too complicated, you can never explain in simply. Forget it." That's being intellectually lazy. The concept of borders, walls, immigration, visas must be simple to explain. There's a wall, there's a door. You want to come in, you go through the door. Done. If you think this is backward, then just remove the locks on the doors to your house while you're at it. He's specifically talking about ILLEGAL immigrants. People that did not come in through the door. If you fail to prefix the word immigrant with illegal in any immigration discussion you're deliberately distorting Trumpian policies.

  How will a wall stop illegal immigration? Couldn't traffickers just use ladders to climb the wall?

    I'm guessing he's going to make it difficult and monitor it. Maybe they'll start blowing it up in places. But hey Mexico is gonna pay for it, so they'll be forced to pay for the fixes too (a guess). Maybe after a while Mexico starts realizing that this wall is fucking expensive if they're not stopping people from getting over it. So maybe they'll start patrolling it themselves and trying to keep people from illegally scaling it. Right now it costs them nothing, so they have no incentive to do anything about it. Who knows.
