Obviously, you cant put the wall adjacent to a huge river that increasingly floods. So you have to put it a significant distance from the river.
But that means the border would, as ORourke points out:
Block access to the Rio Grande River, the 4th longest river in North America
Seize land from Americans through eminent domain
Exile hundreds of thousands of acres of the U.S. to a no mans land between the river and the wall
Seal off critical wildlife corridors and
Destroy YOUR public lands.

Trump, who knows practically nothing, surely has little knowledge of the geography of the area where the wall is supposed to be built. Someone needs to drive him around the area and point out things to him. Or, they can sit next to him and explain things while he drives his godforsaken golf cart all over the Southwest.

So the republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief can butt-plug his temper tantrum, and let America get back to work.
