Besides the fact that he's a cantankerous asshole who will more than likely do huge harm to our relationship with any country he meets with? I really don't have time to go over everything, so I'll just do one.
Lets go with his wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
There are several really glaring issues with building a wall to stop illegal immigration. They include,
1. The illegal immigrant population on the U.S. has actually been dropping since 2007. Going from 12.2 million, down to 11.3 million in 2014.
2. Only about half of illegal immigrants who enter the United States each year are Mexican. Many of them are Caribean, or Asian.
3. Economists don't actually agree on the effects of illegal immigration, some say it's bad for the economy, other say it's good.
4. A single mile or single layer fence currently costs an average of 3.9 million dollars. So you'd be looking at a project in the tens of billions of dollars (Which Trump plans to make Mexico pay for...somehow) to partialy solve a problem that is getting better on it's own and we aren't even really sure how bad of a problem it is.
