... if I were a Mexican with a boat, presumably I could go from Ensenada or Tijuana up towards San Diego / National City in California - or from Matamoros towards Brownsville or Corpus Christi in Texas, and drop off in the dark unseen...
How many miles of wall will have to be built up the western and eastern coastlines of the United States??
... to say nothing of tunnels. Or hot-air balloons

Somebody on TV this morning suggested that the only reason Theresa May is the first foreign leader to meet Trump is simply because no other leader, especially Angela Merkel, was in any rush to meet him and the UK was probably the only country to apply.
I think it is also likely that Trump and the Republicans were just as anxious for one (anyone?) of their close allies to arrange such a visit in order to give them a bit more 'credibility' in the eyes of the world.
Frankly I cannot think of any two other major world leaders who, right now, lack any sort of credibility with their absurdly naive and old-fashioned nationalistic ideas like a Mexican Wall and Brexit. Only a few months ago both suggestions would had all serious folk rolling in the aisles.
Frankly, they suit each other.

Word is from within certain parts of the US State Department that Trump himself expects to be impeached (how much will the GOP put up with?). At which point …It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

'… he told the Washington Post: "It's realistic if you know something about the art of negotiating. If you have a bunch of clowns negotiating, it's not realistic."' So … guess what I'm thinking about here …It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Great idea - go over there to try and get some sorely needed business and introduce discussions by telling off for his bad behaviour! Why not just tell him we don’t do business with people who use torture, if we mean it!!??Last edited by Lat-Literal; 26-01-17, 17:49.
