Tilt up concrete walls are cheap AF.
Perhaps it would waste billions of dollars fighting it...so don’t.
Well then let’s start where there are no problems with right of way
Snipers would be cheaper.
You mean like Governor Moonbeam’s train to nowhere?
Shouldn't it be called the racist, leftist New York Times now?
(nasal voice) It’ll never work.
Cuz they dont want it to work.
Racist Times and MSN?
Yeah, excerpt only.
My teenage son lies to me all day long, why would I want more?
Gov Jerry Brown is spending well over $100 billion on the train to nowhere that cannot possible attain the high speeds it is suppose to do nor attract enough people tom pay for it all.
The wall will keep out millions of free loaders that would cost 10’s of billions in added costs for all sorts of things plus all the crime and taking jobs away from Americans.
The cost of building the wall would easily pay for itself.
Psst! Tell the LEFTIES they can use it to keep everybody in once they go full commie.
It will be up by Christmas! Which they will outlaw by the way.
Sorry. I saw NY Times, and didn’t even bother to read it. They never say anything I agree with anyway.
[[Trump’s Border Wall Could Waste Billions of Dollars, Report Says]]
BS! Illegals cost this country between $400 BILLION DOLLARS and $600 BILLION DOLLARS every single year! a $25 billion dollar wall would save us hundreds of billions of dollars per year IF we deported all the illegals!
So what if the wall will cost money to maintain- We will STILL be saving hundreds of billions every single year!
Look! A report!
So how much did eight years of obama cost the country? Some mistakes you never stop paying for.
Oh puleeze.
And the Muller probe isn’t wasting billions by the time they’re done?!!
I literally laughed out loud when I read this.
How do you put a price on security?
You would amortize the cost of a wall in less than a year. We spend over $130 billion a year on illegal aliens and that does not include the human costs in terms of blood and treasure.
This article from the
The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.
And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.
State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals. So the cost of building the fence is going to be far less than the cost of supporting the illegals.
In state costs alone, California leads the list at $23 billion per year, followed by Texas at $11 billion, and New York at $7.4 billion. And that’s just the up front money for room and board. The regulars like doctor care, education support, transportation, and the protection from public services, is not in those numbers.
And the funny thing to me is that the article stated: “could potentially waste billions of dollars” with no knowledge of how much and where it would come from. Yet they can make the determination it will be a waste. They need to crawl back under the rock.
