10 Billion sounds like a bargain to me to prevent millions of lifelong freeloaders and turning the US more into a 3rd World shithole. |

The Mexicans may buld the wall themselves if they find we gringoes fleeing our fascists overlords.

If he gets elected and doesn't build this wall I will flip my shit.

CNN has jumped the shark.
You don't build a new wall, you simply turn Interstate 10 up on its edge. LOL the MSM. |

I remember Romney, or McCain, talking about removing some unneeded projects from the budget and saving $14 billion. Everyone shrugged it off as an amount that was meaningless in the grand scheme of the budget, so why is it too much, now? |

$10 billion is nothing and would be a fantastic investment that would save us 100's of billions in welfare payouts to illegals.

A drop in the bucket compared to what we spend on supporting illegals right now Which is where the problem really is. If they could not get a job (huge fine and 1 year in jail for hiring an illegal),if they couldn't get welfare,foodstamps,etc.,if they could get no free medical care,if their kids weren't allowed in school,if they didn't get tax "refunds",they would have no reason to come here. Mexico would be screaming for a wall if the situation was reversed and shitloads of people were going down there for all the free stuff. None of that is going to happen,so we will piss away billions on a wall that they will still tunnel under,climb over,bust thru,go around,etc to get the free stuff. Kinda like keeping rats out of your garage-you can try and seal every nook and cranny and try and make in impenetrable fortress,but if there is lots of free food inside,they will continue trying to get to it............. |

I don't see any turrets with gun emplacements on that wall. Where's the mote filled with acid and sharks, electric eels and alligators? I'm disappointing with CNN.

I wonder if the workers will come under sniper fire at any point during the construction.

10 billion vs all the economic benefits from it? Hell, increased worker morale alone could make up the difference in a short amount of time.
I know that's not simple or fully feasible to quantify, but 10 billion for all the shit that comes with ..10 million illegals? Easyyyy business deal! Done! Sign it! |

I wonder what the savings in welfare and other government benefits and the criminal justice system would come to?

You just gave me an idea. Offer citizenship to those illegals that put more than 2,000 hours into building the wall. That would have a huge impact on labor costs. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

That's a full working year with 2 weeks vacation. |

The wall wil increase the cost of getting illegals here to the point that it will drop the rate of entrance astronomically. Lets build the wall AND the other things you mentioned. And UAV's with ground penetrating radar, and snipers with thermal scopes |

In all fairness, Europe needs new immigrants and both Mexico and South America has an ample supply that have similar values and religions.
Ship them to Europe, and everyone does well. I'd like to watch the fights between Mexicans and islam |

Just put every able-bodied illegal caught crossing the border on a chain-gang building the wall. Deport everybody else. Of course high fines for employing an illegal, and absolutely no welfare services of any kind, would help a lot to keep illegals out.

My vote would be for a mobile "wall". http://www.uhb.nhs.uk/Images/SellyOakPhotos/ApacheGunship2.jpg ...and maybe judicious use of contemporary landmine technology. View Quote This does get to the heart of the matter. Walls are pretty useless without men with guns (or spears, as the case may be) standing on top of them. And if we were willing to shoot people who tried to cross illegally, well... we could do that right now. |

A $5 tax on every money transfer going to Mexico, Central and South America would pay for it in no time.

What about the sentry guns? They didn't include all the costs, it will be more than that. And completely worth it.

They can make license plates and turn big rocks into little rocks. Plus the woods don't rake themselves. I envision a sprawling chain gang. Like Cool Hand Luke, just less....cool. |
