I know a lot of people make fun of Donald Trump because he talks about building a wall. His theory is that we need to build a wall to keep illegal migrants from coming in and taking jobs away from Americans.

The reason I don’t think the wall will ever get built, is that now it would keep more illegal immigrants from leaving the country than coming into it. The research indicates that more people are crossing the border with Mexico going into Mexico than are coming out of it.

There may be many reasons for that, but one of the big ones is probably that we are no longer the land of opportunity that we used to be. There simply are not that many great jobs for the immigrants.

Mexico is also improving, so the difference between the countries isn’t that great any more. Let’s face it, our economy isn’t doing that great. It is very likely we have never fully come out of the recession that started in 2008.

Another statistic is that more and more Americans are renouncing their US citizenship. Even though they raised the cost to renounce your citizenship dramatically, more people are shelling out the money to do it.

We used to be the country that the whole world wanted to come to. That was the dream for many people, but that is now in the past. Now we excel in the percentage of people in prison and in government regulation and spying.

So, no matter who gets elected in November, will we build a wall? I doubt it! There is very little need for a wall unless they want to build one to keep Americans from leaving. By the way, don’t think that is an impossibility. Other countries have built walls to keep their best citizens from leaving.
