does the Rio Grande have a flood plain zone? And aren't there some kind of rules from building there? And I take it that people actually live along the Rio Grande and in flood plain zones? So, either the US is annexing parts of Mexico or the US is building a wall that will have people living with a wall on one side and the Rio Grande on the other? How about trenching the Rio Grande and build a moat?

but even then, all you gotta do go under, over or flank it.
This wall has got to be the stupidest fucking initiative in
all our country's history... or any country's for that matter.
Republicans who support this fiasco are demonstrably
a bunch of bozos. Get a f'n clue.

Like all things tRump related this is just craziness and we will pay for it.
