Mr. President! Build that San Antonia wall!

Dear Mr. President,
Your recent siting of the border wall success in San Antonio is brilliant. It's easy to see how this can solve the whole wall thing and end the shutdown. There is no reason the Democrats won't agree to do exactly the same wall the entire length of the southern border!
Put that in the budget deal with specification to spend the same price per mile and this shutdown is over. Within months you can tell your base the wall is underway and way ahead of scheduled completion - no land disputes, no EPA concerns and no cost overruns. Boom! Done!
It will drive the media crazy as you repeat the winning success at rallies and in interviews. The new chant can be "love that wall". As the media questions, just do the same thing you and your staff have been doing these past few years. Your base will believe whatever you tell them. You tell the wall is done and it's done!
The whole wall thing will dominate the news. Democrats will go crazy. Meanwhile, you can point to actual data; Illegal immigration levels at a 20 year low, fewer illegals crossing the southern border, crime rates down....
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has your back on this one, Mr. President. She's great at this. Imagine the press conference...
Reporter - "The budget just passed and doesn't actually fund a wall. Is the president aware of that?"
Sarah - "It most certainly does. Don't you people read?"
Reporter - "But the fact is you cannot build a wall like the one in San Antonio, because there is no wall there."
Sarah - "Look - the fact is the President got a wall deal. That's what you should be reporting. He got the government re-opened. Millions of people are now back to work, thanks to this president!
Reporter #2  - "Does the president actually believe that a wall is being built? Facts don't back that up."
Sarah - "You people have fact checked this president to death. And nobody cares! Look! The facts are that illegal immigration is at a 100 year low. Not a single illegal immigrant can pass over that southern border now. It's over. Unemployment is the lowest of any civilization in existence! There are more super rich people in this country than ever before and we can thank this president for that."
Then the reporters start asking about income disparity and she's got that covered too!
Meanwhile, the whole Russia things gets buried.
Mr. President! Build that San Antonia wall!
Thank you,

Amused Citizen
