  • Just building a wall would be practically impossible.

  • This is where it would be.

  • (dog squeals)

  • It would have to stretch over 2,000 miles of rough terrain...

  • cutting through mountains,

  • rivers, villages

  • and even people's homes.

  • And all that destruction is monstrously expensive.

  • Just building the wall

  • would cost between $15 and $25 billion.

  • (woman gasps)

  • It would easily be one of the single most expensive pieces of infrastructure in American history

  • costing as much as 20 Hoover Dams

  • or NASA's entire annual budget.

  • (man) That's one small step for man,

  • one giant wall for no reason.

  • Not to mention the astronomical cost of staffing and maintaining the wall,

  • which taxpayers like you and your children will be stuck paying forever.

  • I paid for the wall.

  • My father's father paid for the wall.

  • And one day you will pay for the wall.

  • Because this is Wall World.

  • Even just faking the wall for our show was prohibitively expensive.

  • Looks like our CGI budget ran out.

  • Okay, yes, it may be expensive

  • but that doesn't change the fact that once we build it, it will work.

  • Not like you think.

  • Increasing security at the border

  • will never stop illegal immigration.

  • Why not?

  • No one's getting passed me.

  • Yes, they are. Because it's estimated that

  • between 27% and 40% of all undocumented immigrants in America came here on planes.

  • (plane passing)

  • I forgot about planes.

  • These immigrants didn't sneak over the border.

  • They came here legally,

  • through passport control

  • then just overstayed their visas.

  • and guess what,

  • the border wall's not going to stop them cause, reminder: PLANES CAN FLY OVER WALLS

Just building a wall would be practically impossible.
