Washington’s Still Billing Taxpayers for a Border Wall. So, Let’s Build It!

[basquebromance]

Did you know?: it’s costing you $72 MILLION to STOP the construction of the southern border wall.

American taxpayers are paying $3 million per day for contractors to guard unused Southern border wall materials.

Tax money is being spent yearly to build and maintain the security of the border. There is very little "Wall" where most of it is some sort of security fence including most of what Rump directed to be built. Until Congress changes it in the budget, there will be 1.4 billion dollars allocated each year for the south border security. And it MUST be spent. There is over 700 miles of completed border security done and it has to be maintained. This also means plugging all the holes the illegals punch in it on almost a daily basis. It gets more expensive each day to maintain it. While you keep screaming "Wall, Wall, Wall" I keep saying we need more boots on the ground.

I suggest you go to the southern border and ask them. They may not find it too hilarious.

You will likely have to wait for an illegal immigrant to commit a mass murder or a large terrorist attack before Joe Biden would ever agree to close our border to illegal aliens. Even then it will have to be one really big mass murder or terrorist attack to get him to finish the fence.

Democrats are doing their best to destroy this nation and Joe Biden is leading the effort.

Walls will not stop illegal crossing. Too many tunnels and long ladders. They will climb over it, go around it, and go under it. The only way to stop illegal immigration is to ENFORCE OUR EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAWS. Illegal immigration is a crime. A friend got a $77 ticket for jaywalking but illegals can cross and get amnesty? WTF?

Congress passed the border wall act in 2006, still not finished 16 years later.

And it never will be. The Terrain won't allow it. The good news is, because of the extreme terrain, there can be no border crossings there at all. About half of the 2000 mile border falls into that category whether it's too mountainous or just too arid. The people that try it in that area needs to be rescued or they die. They are never successful. Mother Nature is a bitch.

Pointless

They just knock it over

And when you run out of those people to kill when will you start on me? Shouldn't be too long.

Worse...we are paying them too.

Regular Americans are good. Insurrectionists are not. And if those are your idea of a regular American then I would rate you as a terrorist.

The first barrier built by the U.S. was between 1909 and 1911; the first barrier built by Mexico was likely in 1918, and barriers were extended in the 1920s and 1940s.

This was to reduce illegal immigration to the US from Mexico.

If they were no barrier, you would just have a free flow of Southern Americans crossing the border.

The issue is in the modern era that a wall is going to be a waste of money. They're going to get over the wall or under the wall anyway.

Spending money on a PROPER BORDER FORCE, humans and technology, is where it's at. That's how you STOP PEOPLE.

Of course people climb under and over it because it can only reduce illegal immigration and not stop it. So it needs constant repairing and patrolling, both cost money.

The alternative is to scrap it, but then what.

Any country cannot take in millions of people, it's infrastructure and standard of living won't cope.

A country that built itself up to have a good quality of infrastructure and standard of living, cannot give it away free of charge to people from countries that didn't. And it's a sad state of reality, but that's how it is, the opposite is Utopia and we all know that's not achievable.
