Trump's claim that Mexico would pay for the wall may be coming true!

Essentially, Trump's promise to build a wall and end illegal immigration has caused a rush for the border that is crippling Mexico's resources. Mexico can either let undocumented migrants enter their country willy nilly en route to the US, or they can take strong action to stem the tide of immigration for their own benefit. Which would be best accomplished by building a wall, either literally, or through a strict enforcement policy.

Sourceforge Internet Speed Tester

https://sourceforge.net/speedtest/

Very nice comprehensive internet speed tester from SourceForge (King of Freeware).  Is run from your web browser, uses HTML5, so any modern browser should work.  Shows service suggestions, like which internet services you can and shouldn't be using.  Netflix, Skype, etc are among the lists.  It has a top down overall view of the results, and a more detailed view for those techie nerds like myself who want to understand more in detail what was really tested.
