Fred Reed's mathematical analysis of Trump's Wall proves that Trump is insincere, proves that Trump is mathematically incompetent, and earns Fred Reed an honorary nerd card:

I'm relatively liberal, but I certainly think US immigration policy and enforcement needs to be addressed. But pissing away umpteen billions on a wall that isn't realistic, feasible or practical - let alone wanted by the border states - isn't the way to do it.
The number of illegal border crossings has been going down for the last several years, which is a good start. Preventing employers from hiring workers who are not here legally, or who are not here on work visas, is a step in the right direction. Plus, let's arrest and deport all of the people - including the millions of Europeans - who have overstayed their visas.
Regarding the educated Europeans who are living and working illegally in the US: they are taking skilled labor positions and non-minimum wage jobs away from Americans and legal immigrants. This group is not working in the fields or in slaughter houses. They are not washing dishes or cutting grass. They are preventing qualified - and legal - workers from filling those higher wage positions.
