In my other blog post, I discussed why immigration is not a fundamental right, also explaining the current crisis(putting it very mildly) at the U.S.-Mexico border, whereby staggering numbers of illegal immigrants have been pouring into the United States(U.S.) through the southern border, more than qualifying as an invasion which must be thwarted.
As such, part of thwarting the illegal immigration invasion is building a border wall between the United States of America and Mexico. Without a border wall, there is no way to fully stop the border invasion and solve the crisis; despite getting many positions wrong, this is one that Donald Trump was absolutely spot on correct.
So the question of course becomes, how do you effectively fund and build a border wall? One thing Trump got dead wrong is his belief that he could force Mexico to pay for it, when they absolutely won’t, especially by trying to use tariffs on Mexican imports to try to strong-arm Mexico to pay for the wall. This idea by Trump was poorly thought out and rather ridiculous. Here is the solution to the conundrum of border wall construction. Before explaining the solution and idea, I must absolutely give credit to Stefan Molyneux for publicly presenting this idea, which Molyneux did on his old YouTube channel, which has since been censored and deleted, along with the (former) YouTube channels of many other conservative intellectuals and commentators.
The solution, at least that this author proposes, and assuming this author had the power and authority to actually make this happen, is to sell border land to private developers to build the wall. This way, through a competitive bid, the free market would produce the lowest cost development and construction of the wall, along with the greatest efficiency, minimizing the time necessary to finish construction, especially considering the real-time magnitude and gravity of the border crisis.
Furthermore, because such a wall would be private property, it would not be able to be voted away in a future election; this aspect is especially crucial given how fraudulent even U.S. national elections have become. Given the immense popularity of Trump’s position on closing the U.S.-Mexico border, there very likely would be enough interest by private U.S. developers to step up to build the wall, as the investment would certainly pay for itself in the reduction of taxpayer-funded welfare recipients, whom far too many illegal immigrants become after crossing the border into the U.S.
Israel, for example, has a border wall, and effectively keeps out unwanted foreigners. Egypt has a wall too, which like Israel’s, is effective. Therefore, it should stand to reason and come as no surprise that a physical border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border would also be effective, despite the claims of the Democrats and other opponents of a border wall.
Now, one might credibly argue and raise the concern that the private owner of the border wall may want to abandon the border wall and even have it pulled, in other words demolished. While this is a valid concern, it isn’t likely to actually happen. First of all, such a demolition is very costly, both in terms of the cost to demolish and in terms of the increased illegal immigration that would inevitably result. Therefore, it would be very much against the best interest of the border wall owner to do so. On top of all of that, even if this risk did materialize, it would not be any worse than the current real-time situation, whereby the U.S. federal government, despite controlling all border land, violates its Constitutional duties to secure the border and to thereby thwart the current ongoing invasion on the border.
That being said, the U.S. government could place a restrictive covenant against border wall demolition. The U.S. government would have legitimate authority to do this on the grounds of national defense. However, a border wall owner should not be forced to own the wall against his/her will, should his/her will no longer be to own the wall.
In such a situation, the U.S. government could auction the border wall ownership off to solve the problem. If no one participates in the auction, however quite unlikely, the U.S. government could take ownership of the wall in the interim until a private owner comes around to purchase the wall and assume responsibility for the wall’s upkeep and maintenance, and thereby, efficacy.
Of course, this idea will never come to fruition, and that’s the forecast of this post.
As such, the illegal immigration invasion will continue, functioning as one major driver bringing liberty and U.S. civilization, and by extension all of global civilization, towards ultimate demise.
