It would be ironic if Trump went ahead and, like the Ming emperors of yore, built his monstrous 2000-mile wall to keep Mexican immigrants out of the US, only to have it turn out that for starters it didn't work, and then later that Mexicans really no longer wanted to come to a country where the big metropolises are all underwater, while that old standby immigrant job -- farmworker -- no longer existed because most of the US grain belt and salad bowl had become parched deserts. One can imagine the graffiti his wall would sport on the US side: "This should be in Boston Harbor" or perhaps "Why wasn't this built around Brooklyn?"
Of course, by then, there probably will be a new even longer wall being constructed, this time by the Canadians, designed to prevent desperate Americans from fleeing illegally to the relatively temperate and above sea-level refuge of Canada. Hopefully the Canadians won't be demanding that we US citizens pay for that epic project!
