How about the consequences of offending everyone as Trump does? How are you going to combat terrorists at the border by making enemies of many of the Mexicans whom you need to get useful intelligence on drug dealers, terrorists, and others.

A Wall at the border that would stop every one would require to what amounts to the police state of East Germany. And the Berlin Wall was not that long and anyone trying to cross it was often murdered.

I do not see Trump doing anything but stirring up the masses with appeals to emotion. I have been fighting for crime victims since 1991 and I have not heard much of anything about Trump doing practical things to help crime victims before this. I do see he is parading in front of crime victims of people who crossed the border and committed crimes. This is a political tactic IMHO and nothing more.

I am not a big fan of Hillary Clinton either but she does address the practical consequences of her words and actions by showing some diplomacy when making them.
