When we carried Military cargoes in the long ago, every six months we would receive an RFP (request for proposal) setting rates and conditions of performance. Now I see the term in the news again - an RFP to build "the wall" - the height must be thirty feet but could be eighteen feet in some areas. I guess this has to do with the height of the ladders available. But the eyebrow raiser is the wall must be six feet deep to deter tunnelers. It could take three years to build costing $20 billion and by that time the foot traffic will be down to a trickle and we will be stuck with this eyesore. In the movie Field of Dreams it was said "If you build it, he/they will come." I'm not so sure.
