The point is they can go other routes. The wall is not going to stop drug trafficking. They will just shift to other means. It's too big of an incentive for a physical wall of a few feet to stop them. Drone price has fallen dramatically and will continue to fall. Unmanned and pinpoint delivery could mean cheaper, less risk and easier to control. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/ca...lding-diy-drones-to-fly-drugs-over-the-border
No, it is the combination of gov't subsidy and Nafta. Nafta hasn't been good for Mexico overall. It has been good for Mexican Industrialists though.
The AIR8 can carry 7 kilos and weighs 17. It costs 15 thousand and when carrying max payload has bad range. Mexicans building cheap DIY droves that carry well over twice their weight is fantasy land. Drone prices can fall all they want but the basics of aeronautics apply. also as ipaman pointed out, if you reduce them to using drones, you have won.
Both sides lack imagination on this issue. 1. Build a chain link fence along the US-Mexico border, from the Pacific to the Gulf. 2. Build a second fence one mile behind that first fence, from the Pacific to the Gulf. 3. Put razor wire at the top and bottom of both fences. 4. Build the world's largest solar farm - one mile thick stretching from the Pacific to the Gulf. 5. Send all the energy to Mexico. 6. ?? 7. Profit.
When it comes to the race, Trump's numbers continue to fall in Florida and Ohio. It is VERY likely that Kasich takes Ohio and if the anti-Trump voters pick one of Rubio or Cruz then he'll lose Florida too. If he loses both then his race is over. Of course with Rubio and Cruz splitting the anti-Trump vote, he might pull off Florida, but losing Ohio will still be a huge step in the direction of a contested convention. Also, if Trump wins Florida, it knocks Rubio out of the race, making it even more difficult for Trump going forward as most states would see it as almost a one on one race between either Kasich and Trump or Cruz and Trump depending on the political leanings of that state.
What's wrong with people? Christie? Carson? Are they nuts, or just opportunistic weasels who want to be on the side of who they think will win?
Christie is about to be out of a job and he's not popular within his own party so he latched on to Trump hoping that if he wins he'd be able to secure a job within his regime. Ben Carson is in a sort of similar situation and was probably bought outright.
Carson's entire world view is shaped by overcoming moral downfall in his youth and then a life's work mastering bizarrely complex and improbable operations in a setting that compelled him to see childbirth as miraculous and all effort against it as pure sin. He also understands that politically it's a losing battle, so he's backing the winning horse that also simultaneously seems to frustrate entrenched and experience politicians. Christie misdirected in his endorsement speech by claiming Donald was a family friend, but then telegraphed that he was going into the private sector after serving out his term. It's hard to imagine he isn't laying the groundwork for Trump's personal introductions or indirect financing for real estate development or some kind of break on office space for a consulting firm.
Christie: An opportunist with nothing to lose and possbily something to gain Carson: One of many Cruz has ticked off who just cannot stand the guy.
"Biggest greatest smartest" "I'm going to save 8 trillion dollars by cutting a program that spends 100 million dollars" "Better deals" "Smarter deals" Dealer deals" "I love people who agree with me"
Trump just said that the Chinese massacre at Tiananmen square was an example of strong leadership....I mean he tried to save it by saying that it wasn't necessarily good, but it was strong.....that's a bit concerning given that he's pledged to be a strong leader.
