Wa—Wait a minute, only 57 MILES?!
From Sea to Shining Sea and to Infinity, that’s where I look at it from!
You would prefer 0 miles?
1 billion for 57 miles seriously..cant Trump get a price match or something from somewhere
“only 57 MILES?!”
That is just from this one funds transfer.
120 miles has already been built or placed on contract, and $7 billion more dollars has been identified for this year.
If we average 57 miles for each of the remaining seven billions, that would total over 500 miles contracted in Trump’s first three years.
Not just any miles either - the most important ones are being prioritized first. And its not just any barrier either - it is “wall system” (barrier, patrol road, lights, cameras, alarm systems) designed to seriously control the border where it goes in.
This year’s huge $8 billion money bomb is going to take a serious bite out of illegal traffic. It is designated to button up the Rio Grande Valley and the border cities, where most traffic now passes. Another year of $8 billion funding (what the Administration is requesting) would roughly build all the barrier needed for full operational control (given the additional people and technology that are separately requested).
“WaWait a minute, only 57 MILES?!”
They are putting up speed bumps right now. Anything to slow down illegal border crossings while more money is being budgeted.
