It is my fondest wish — for the moment —\u00a0to lay eyes on some real estate down yonder.<\/p>\n

I intend to take a look at just how Donald John “Smart Person” Trump intends to wall off the southern U.S. border with Mexico, to stop all them “drug dealers, rapists, murderers” and even some of those “good people, I’m sure” who are trying to sneak into this country.<\/p>\n

John Kelly, the secretary of homeland security, said this week he thinks the wall can be built — start to finish — in two years. Of course, the president insists that Mexico is going to pay for it — apparently presuming that the Mexican government is “sending” all those criminals into the United States.<\/p>\n

The wall, of course, would have to be erected on U.S. soil. Still, that doesn’t matter to Trump, who keeps insisting — despite Mexico’s stubborn refusal — that our neighbors will foot the bill.<\/p>\n

Good luck with that.<\/p>\n

I’ll report back to you when — or if — I get my chance to see it for myself. I might even ask around to see how the locals feel about it.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned, dear reader.<\/p>\n\n
