Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, has made several “outlandish” promises on his way to the oval office. And one of them was to build a “beautiful” wall along the US-Mexico border to keep the illegal Mexican immigrants out.
The wall has been termed utterly impractical, with an estimated cost of construction reaching $25 billion and border patrol cost estimated to be an additional $2.1 billion per year.
Mexican architects from Estudio 3.14, decided to “visualise” the craziness of the idea, as they rendered a pink wall stretching the 1,954 miles border called the “Prison-Wall.”
The results are shown below!
The colour pink was chosen as it had to be a “beautiful” thing.
The design is a result of the Mexican architect Luis Barragán, who created the wall using his trademark bright and attractive art.
The harsh landscape such as mountain ranges will only add to the cost. And since most of the areas are dense and arid, building a “thick, tall, impenetrable” wall would take at least 16 years to build.
According to the artist, the wall is a “megalomaniac architectural proposal”.
The artist went above and beyond, and also included a prison for the immigrants which could hold up to 11 million people.
The wall is planned to be stretching from the Pacific Coast to the Gulf of Mexico, separating the south-west US from northern Mexico.
But hey, at least the Americans can enjoy a shopping mall that’s built adjacent to the wall.
What are your thoughts on this yuugge wall?

A wall, huh. What makes anyone think something like that has any chance of working? Doesn’t anyone read about history any more? Through out history this has been tried time and time again, and with what kind of results? Just read your history to find out how it worked for the Chinese, or how it worked for the Romans. But hay, those were in ancient times, right? Oh wait, what about Berlin? That was in modern times, and it was the wall to end all walls. Humm, how’d that work for them? Are we really that stupid to build & pay for something that we already know won’t work? Obviously so.
Build it! 16 yrs is better than never! Use our Holmes’s & unemployed for labor. Giving them a chance to get back on there feet. Mexicans that want to work or live here can work on it & earn there why into the country. We need it!

How about putting uneducated Americans that do not know the difference between “there” and “their” build it? As they work at it, they can contemplate basic English grammar.
Anyone who thinks a 25billion dollar wall at 2.1billion dollars a year that will give a handful of jobs (mostly to engineers, structural designers and the educated class) with the rest Beng to corporate construction companies failed math and are as `dense minded’ as the wall!.

Beautiful! Let’s build a wall that will make the Chinese jealous. It need only be one inch higher than the level of Mexicans’ disrespect for it. If Mexicans respected our southern border the way that Canadians respect our northern boarder why we wouldn’t need a wall at all.
Cmon WE, this is complete crap, and you should know it. Rendering it as 80 feet thick so that the architect can artificially inflate the price estimate, including unrelated massive outlays in the estimate discredits you, and is contemptible behavior. Cut it out and post gifs of cool mechanisms.
Actually the 80ft average is pretty much spot on as you are going to need to calculate a wall that is deep enough to not tunnel under, high enough to not scale structurally sound enough to hold trained security personal and equipment at the top. This does not even include the changing landscape needs such as running into rock or soil deterioration. Either way face it, it still a waste of money since the FBI’s statistics have proven that a majority of out of country criminals and drug runners enter the country through expired visa and fraud.
Like 95% of everything else Trump said, it is absurd BS. How this moron was ever elected president is amazing to the entire world.
