Well, if you're going to break down in definitions...




"..especially a complex of many buildings."
https://www.google.com/#q=define+megastructures

run by aliens from another planet.


Are there a bunch of office buildings orbiting a planet somewhere?

Is this what the 'scientific community' were talking about??


Is that what they believe???

Top scientist can’t rule out ‘ALIEN MEGASTRUCTURE’ is orbiting distant
star
A NOBEL prize-winning scientist is still searching for a reasonable
explanation for the supposed ‘alien megastructure’ orbiting a distant
star.



What does a ‘ALIEN MEGASTRUCTURE’ look like?

that is what an Alien would say,
"I laugh at your Microstructure, it is so small."

This is the equivalent to 'Hadrian's Wall' in the south of the USA, by 
what Mr. Trump wants to ward off the evil Picts (e.g. Mexicans), once he 
became president.

So, he is actually alien???

There are certainly better ways, to solve the problem of illegal 
immigration, rather than a gigantic wall.

One possibility is the introduction of identity cards for US-citizens, 
combined with obliged registration of residency.

This is something very common in almost all countries of the world. And 
the USA is actually among the few exceptions.

So, new rules about citizenship, combined with something like an ID-card 
would solve the problem, while a large wall would not.

(Actually a stable fence - plus a few wards - would be sufficient for 
the same purpose.)

Usually US presidents make strange decisions only at the end of their 
term, but Trump does that in advance. So we could expect even weirder 
proposals, once he's in office.

We already don't enforce our existing laws against illegal aliens. Another layer of government red tape won't change that.

Even better than that, we have "sanctuary cities" where they walk right 
in and sit right down and nobody is ALLOWED to arrest them.  But come 
on, HVAC. Don't you like your lettuce? They are just looking for a 
better life. You wouldn't deny them that would you?

Actually, it's Trump's wall AND door, since he's said he wants to expand the quota limit above its present-day 700,000/year (which for 11 million in the US would equate to 15-20 years) -- something nobody else is even considering (thus making contention on this issue from *all* sides of the partisan debate disingenuous and outright deceitful).

The reason you get line-skippers (i.e. "illegal immigrants") is the line is not moving! And what's holding up the line is this damned quota. Remove the quota, the line moves again.

Nobody else is even touching the (3rd-rail) quota issue -- which means both sides of the partisan debate are actually on the same (and wrong) side against immigration and for the perpetuation of a line that doesn't move (i.e. and, thus, in de facto favor of illegal immigration).

Assumed large structures built by extraterrestrial lifeforms.

This appears to be the latest on it at the time of writing:
