It really depends on how long it takes to initiate the new imagration laws after the new congress is elected. If they can get it built before they deport all of the avalible labor then it will happen. The true question is for what purpose is it really being built? Is it so George Bush can use the taxpayers money to make a political statement before the election? Is it really going to keep anybody out, or in? Is it a way of saying dig deeper and dig longer tunnels? I would bet the same persons that build it will be the same people that will know where the best tunnels could be. Don't worry the one with the drug money will still be coming and going and charging others to make the journey with them.
I personally am going to be looking in awe as the logistics of this fiasco takes wings. It is going to be a nightmare for this country, compared to a bad dream now. Say good by to the nickel bag, and hello to the bigger and badder criminals, who do what they want, when they want, with no regard to laws, or fences, or anything that has to do with governments.

OH WE WILL BUILD THE WALL// This is just in the first stages so the money is not there yet. The Supreme Court has made the way to take the property they need thru " eminent domain" because it is " the better good " of the general public.As for the relations with Mexico ,how can it make them worse then they are. The two parties in congress fight over every thing now so why should the wall make any difference.The Mexican vote is in the Democrats pocket now, so the Republicans have nothing to lose.

I'm just wondering when I read all the answers on your question. It's a shame, how the American people thinking about the immigrants. This is the country fighting for freedom and terrorism and going to another places and want to make democracy. I can just say this is very sad how the people in US thinking so selfish. They didn't learn and I guess they never learn. We all on the same Earth now making some uneducated happy they can build another fences. I remember the fences in East and West Germany. This is so sad, I have any words for this politic in US no more.

Many Mexican Americans are actually in favor of stemming the influx of illegals, so I doubt if many votes will be lost ....
Private property owners, especially in the border towns we're talking about, would gladly GIVE part of their land away to stop this invasion ...
Harm to US Mexican relations? Hardly ... Mexico will grumble, that's all ... they don't give two hoots for their citizens as it is, and if they can't offload all their unwanted people to the United States, they'll sulk, that's all ....
And yes, I do think the fence will be built, the American people will see to it that it is ....

At $1.7 million per mile
(the cost of the first 10 mile stretch in San Diego),
the entire U.S.-Mexican border could be sealed off
(all 1,891 miles of it)
for $3.3 billion dollars.
Iraq spending equivalent: 13.8 days.
Cost/benefit analysis, anyone?

The Minutemen are building their own fence.
The official government fence is probably nothing but smoke and mirrors, just to attract votes.
We are not protecting our borders, our language, or our culture. NO country can operate like this and survive for very long.

I tend to agree with you, there's been a bunch of talk about this wall, but I suspect after the elections are all over nothing will actually ever be done about it, it will be quietly buried like so many other things have.

You make some great points....I hadn't even considered the private property issue....But I am sure they will use 'eminent domain' clause to built the fence on those private properties, against some people's will....

No the fence will be built, and it's just the beginning of the end for the Mexicans. Trail of beans is coming next
