RE: [TSP_Strategy] Re: 20% tariff on Mexican imports

 

Robert,

 

An interesting consideration.  I thought that we were approaching this from a government perspective, as I believe that all of us are either current or former federal employees (military and/or civilian).  Government typically is not tasked to develop a product to sell for profit.  As Sarah stated " borders are important and need to be protected."  I apologize if I missed the point.  But to answer your last question, if government is able to secure the borders, this could allow business/companies the opportunity to invest in products that make money for their shareholders and increase my S Fund holdings.

What takes more thought?

 

Invest a lot of money just to block something, or Invest a lot of money to build something that makes things you can sell.

Which is positive which is negative

I've also been to "the wall" several times over many years.  The last time I was there (several years ago now) Marine Engineers were building on the fence/wall.  And I know personally of several other military units that have supported the effort in the past.  But you are correct, if they speed up the building the wall, more contractors will be employed.  I agree that in several locations along the border it probably doesn't make sense for a physical structure and in those instances technology and/or manpower will be used.  Technology can be used both with the wall and in place of a physical barrier.   I've had the pleasure of working with some very smart contractors that have developed some amazing technology and my information is now dated.  As the previous TSP Strategy member stated, the wall is just one more tool that can be used.  

 

I value your knowledge and expertise on TSP matters.  Please value the knowledge and expertise that our members have from current or past service.

I find it utterly comical that the so-called "experts"  don't want the wall. A physical barrier is just one more tool, not a one-stop solution. Until the magnet of jobs and benefits are removed, the flow will continue.

Having said that, What a physical barrier does is to provide time. Time to respond and time to make an apprehension. It also makes the movement of illegal narcotics more difficult. I have arrested literally thousands of illegal aliens from around the globe. Arrests in San Diego alone dropped almost 90% under Operation Gatekeeper and that was merely a substantial fence, not a wall.

Believe what you want but I have seen the results firsthand.

I find it "utterly comical" that there are people who want to build a 3000 mile wall at any price.
Yes, borders are important and need to be protected.  They need to be protected in a manner that makes sense...through the use of manpower, technology, and border security. 

IMHO, a tall 3000 mile wall will largely profit the builder of that wall.  Hmmm.. I wonder who that might be.
