US Customs and Border Protection invests nearly $4.5B into 'smart' border wall

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced a $4.5 billion dollar investment during the ongoing government shutdown.

www.usatoday.com

The Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection is investing nearly $4.5 billion into 10 new construction contracts to add "hundreds of miles" of border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The multibillion dollar investment into steel barriers, waterborne barriers, patrol roads, lights, cameras and advanced detection technology arrives as encounters at the Southwestern Border have reached some of the lowest numbers in decades.

This has sorta flew under the radar as the number of crossings has tailed off.

This is what I voted for!

You voted for a complete waste of money? Of course you did.

I'd have rather see the money invest in a strengthend (the current version still has issues) EVerify system that functions properly as a pre-screen enviornment, then make it's use mandatory.

At that point employers can be held responsible.

Massive walls treat the sympton, not the cause. Make it impossible for illegals to find jobs.

$4.5 billion for only 7 miles of new border wall so far in 2025 is a huge waste of money. Most immigrants fly here by plane, the same way Trump is flying them back.

The first Trump Administration diverted $15 billion dollars away from the Department of Defense & others to build a small skimpy part of the ineffective border wall. This ill-conceived plan resulted in only 52 miles of new border wall when the regional plan called for 1,000 new miles. These 52 miles of new wall cost the Americantaxpayers up to 46 million dollars per mile.

The billions of dollars spent on this wall have not made theborder more secure or stopped migrants from coming to our border. Numerous reports suggest individuals are using $100 power tools to breach the wall. CBP reports theborder wall was breached over 4,000 times in just Fiscal Year 2022. As a result, CBP spent $2.6 million from fiscal years 2019 to 2021 to repair those breaches of the wall at the expense of American taxpayers.

Costly repairs also occurred due to weather damage. High winds and flooding have caused parts of thewall to fall or separate, creating huge openings in the barrier. It’s clear the border wall has serious flaws and limitations as a deterrent. The financial cost to build and maintain Trump’s wall is exorbitant.

Here's to hoping the entire state of Texas gets held responsible for employing illegals for the last 50 years.

Treason Is Not a Property Right

The Wall is a Maginot Line. We've already been invaded and occupied. Make the immigration criminals here feel they never want to come back. And make their employers lose their businesses.

If the border wall were instead long piles of broken glass it would probably work just as well.

Make it so miserable and life-threatening for the invaders here that they'll never come back.

Border encounters have dropped 96.11% under Trump.
