Let's consider that Trump wins the Presidential elections of 2016. And let's consider that he really wants to build a 10 billion dollar fence / wall on the border of Mexico.
What companies would benefit from this project? I am talking about (iron) mines, construction companies, ...

Whatever construction company Trump is the sole owner of.

>really wants to
The president doesn't have authority to do that. Legislative branch would have to approve. I don't think that would happen
president =/= dictator

Legally incorrect, as there are a lot of levers he could pull - an executive order, ordering an agency to do it, etc. I agree with you in theory, and kinda wish it worked that way, but it doesn't work that way in practice.

Probably also incorrect. Government contracting is complicated and has a bazillion rules.
>>1446165
You're thinking the right way - design, materials, construction. Problem is, it's unclear what the wall would in fact be made of or who would get the contract.
The better move might be to speculate on what winners/losers would be created from a sudden sharp enforcement in immigration policies. For example, I bet a lot of construction firms and farmers might find their costs going up.

What companies are already big enough to keep the demand flowing? Who has right know how to guide this through great success?
