Seven Miles of Wall!

[NYcarbineer]

That's how much wall the Trump administration can build with the money it has so far. I do hope they find the seven miles where everyone comes across!


Trump’s Wall: How Much Money Does the Government Have For It Now?
$20 million. That’s enough to cover the cost of seven miles of wall.

"During the campaign, President Donald Trump promised to build a wall across the southern border some 1,000 miles long. The number of miles the president currently has money for: seven.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials delivered the startling news this week at a conference in San Antonio for businesses eager to win contracts for beefing up security along the border.

Although estimates to build the wall soar past $20 billion, the agency has so far managed to scrape together only about $20 million, according to its top contracting official. The rest of the cash will have to come from Congress, which so far has proven reluctant to foot the bill.

That amount of cash would not go very far to build a real wall — existing fence along the border costs roughly $2.8 million per mile."

Interesting.

we'd have a wall if people didn't give up so easily. securing a border is a cakewalk. the benefits will return a thousandfold. and it will be good for mexico.

securing the border is far from a 'cakewalk', especially when its thousands of miles long and abuts private property almost it's entire length, and has already generated bigtime push-back by ranchers and farmers

it won't be good for Mexico and it's ridiculous to think you'd even care about that

face it, that 'magnificent wall' fantasy never had chance and was simply a campaign ruse to garner votes

....here's the reality:

From tending the plants to harvesting the grapes, it takes skill and a strong work ethic to produce the winery's pinot noir and chardonnay, and native-born Americans just aren't willing to work that hard, Patricia Dudley said as a cold rain drenched the vineyard in the hills of Oregon.


"Who's going to come out here and do this work when they deport them all?" she asked.


President Donald Trump's hard line against immigrants in the U.S. illegally has sent a chill through the nation's agricultural industry, which fears a crackdown will deprive it of the labor it needs to plant, grow and pick the crops that feed the country.

Looking at a map of the Texas/Mexico border for example, it appears that a lot of the border is In some very remote and desolate areas.

How would the logistics of getting the materials, equipment, and personnel these remote areas work out? Would they have to build settlements of some sort to house and feed the workers or will they be expected to commute a couple of hundred miles a day?

In other news, Republicans chip away at the wall between Drumpf and reality. "It's 20 feet thick and made of granite so we don't even know if we'll get close to breaking through but we have to try. A minority of people were stupid enough to vote for this mental case and we are trying to reach him with facts before it's too late."

Republicans though, who themselves live in their own unReality are going to be hard pressed to come up with funding to tear down the wall as many of their members are fine with burning the Constitution and turning the US into a dictatorship as long as they get their goodies.

If it were economical and practical a wall would be fine. But since almost half of illegals don't come through via unwalled spaces,

even a perfect wall could at best solve half the problem, and 'at best' almost never happens.

Better to go after employers if you're going to do anything.

I asked him last time our grocery bill went up because of ethanol. You know, that fuel that caused us to burn up our food supply? The fuel that ruins engines and causes more pollution than manufacturing gasoline?

He never responded back.

The wall is intended to stop more than just the illegals. We have a record opiate overdose and deaths in this country to battle. But 33,000 American opiate deaths a year is not enough to convince the Democrats to try and stop this problem. They need to make whites the minority in this country as soon as they can, so to hell with everything else. Let em die.

Tell them to get some advice from Alaskan construction companies, our guys can land a heli on a glacier and install anything they want.

aside from pinot noir crisis, you are conflating two issues. the wall isn't going to be there for nice people, but for the one's trying to cash in on ill gotten America.

think of the wall as the new space program, and a future source of national pride, we choose to go to the moon. if they can come here illegally and work hard then they can do so in there own country. it will be better for every country south of us.

Mm, you need to go by the border. If you did that you would know it's bullshit. Most folks who live out there are folks who hate the government and have a bigger issue with Feds. But you are right. Trump is never going to buil anything down there.

The most successful "wall" in history to keep people in or out was the "Iron Curtain" which was neither iron or a curtain.

It was a string of watch towers manned by people with order to shoot before asking questions. It was a strip of land mines along the border. It was inexpensive barbed wire. and first and foremost, it was a population, who rightly or wrongly, was convinced that regardless of your political persuasion, tolerating scum who violate the border of your country deserves no mercy.

There were no sanctuary anything there. You side with the intruders you go to the gulag.

With all the crap the Left loves about the socialist failures of the world, why can they not embrace the only socialist value of loving your country?

That's quite a clever spin but nobody cares about illegals from New Zealand...were just trying to stop the third-world filth from our neighboring south....almost all of which crosses via "unwalled spaces" as these sub-humans can't afford to enter any other way.
Anyone who is for the eradication of illegals is also for aggressively hammering down on employers of illegals. Cracking down on employers may remove the incentive for Carlos to go to work....BUT what about the illegals presenting employers with fraudulent documents to gain employment? What about the incentive for Guadalupe to drop her five anchors here and collect welfare, EBT, housing assistance, health care, schooling etc etc? Will Carlos simply stay at home, not try to work...and leech on Guadalupe's taxpayer funded goodies?
In a feeble attempt to decriminalize illegals many have tried to sell that employers are the root cause....who's more the criminal the drug dealer or the drug manufacture? It's a retarded argument as both sides are pieces of shits. The bottom line is illegals still have plenty of motivation to come here and steal from American's even if employers aren't hiring.
The problem has to be dealt with at its source and point of origination....the border and Mexico.

I care much less about a Mexican sneaking over the border to mow lawns or pick fruit than I do about doctors for example coming here legally to take work that ought to be done by Americans already here.

Is that good news or bad news to the left? It's hard to tell these days. I mean you have to wonder about the hypocrite left when they ignored Hussein's boxcars of cash and euros showered in Iran for no reason that anybody could understand. Now the left worries about the cost of a wall that would make the U.S. more secure. Is it hatred or insanity that drives the left these days?
