A group of Mexican architects have suggested that US President Donald Trump's plan to build a wall along the border to keep out immigrants may be unworkable.

During his election campaign, US President-elect Donald Trump vowed to build a wall along the US-Mexico border to prevent illegal immigration. Architects from Estudio 3.14 in Guadalajara, Mexico proposed to realize this idea by designing a 3,145 km long pink wall called "Prison Wall", Business Insider reported.

Architect Norberto Miranda said the purpose of Estudio 3.14’s wall design was to show its impossibility. According to Miranda, a border wall would certainly not improve relations between the United States and Mexico. The mountains in the border area also make construction difficult.

CNBC estimates that the wall will cost the US government $15-25 billion. The cost of maintaining and hiring 21,000 agents to patrol the wall is about $2.1 billion a year. Mexican President Enrique Peña has also stressed that his country will not contribute to the cost of building the wall.

Nhóm thiết kế lập mô hình đồ họa một bức tường màu hồng, do ông Trump từng nhiều lần nhấn mạnh
The design team created a graphic model of a pink wall, as Mr. Trump has repeatedly emphasized that "the wall will be very eye-catching."
Trải dài từ ven biển Thái Bình Dương đến vịnh Mexico, bức tường sẽ chia cắt vùng đông nam nước Mỹ với miền bắc Mexico.
Stretching from the Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico, the wall would divide the southeastern United States from northern Mexico.
Bức tường sẽ bao gồm một nhà tù để giam giữ người vượt biên trái phép. Bên trong nhà tù còn có một nhà máy, nơi các tù nhân làm việc để sửa chữa, bảo trì bức tường.
The wall would include a prison to detain illegal border crossers. Inside the prison would also be a factory where prisoners would work to repair and maintain the wall.
Theo thiết kế, người Mỹ có thể ghé thăm trung tâm mua sắm xây trong tường.
By design, Americans could visit a shopping mall built into the wall.
Theo Miranda, những rặng núi dọc theo biên giới Mỹ - Mexico khiến dự án xây tường gần như bất khả thi và rất tốn kém.
According to Miranda, the mountains along the US-Mexico border make the wall project almost impossible and very expensive.
Dự án xây bức tường biên giới có thể kéo dài tới 16 năm do trở ngại về địa hình và khí hậu.
The border wall project could take up to 16 years due to terrain and climate challenges.
