Start there build a wall 87 miles. What’s that cost?

Remember the GoFundMe for building a wall? Instead of having the government build the wall, the residents and landowners can build their own wall, on their own land, with choke points that the border patrol can monitor. And just as dams have salmon ladders, the walls can have openings small enough to keep humans from passing, but large enough for wildlife.

We don't need the government to do this. With proper crowd funding, the land owners can do this. And it sounds like they might be interested.

“Start there build a wall 87 miles. What’s that cost?”

Somewhere between $400 million and $900 million, depending on terrain and the extra features added (Lights, Cameras Sensors).

Out in flat desert, 18 foot bollards set in deep reinforced concrete foundation, with just patrol road, would be toward the low end - about $4 million per mile.
