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

As much emphasis as he has put on this wall... If he does win the presidency he will HAVE to at least build the wall, even if its the only thing he does

CNN has jumped the shark.

You don't build a new wall, you simply turn Interstate 10 up on its edge.

LOL the MSM.

Yep.  

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 in materials. Probably many times that to build it. Still a bargain.

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.............

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.

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!

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

Yep, estimates of how much illegals cost us annually are usually north of $100BN. $10BN for a wall would be a bargain.

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.

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.

They came to America to work.  They can make license plates and turn big rocks into little rocks.  Plus the woods don't rake themselves.
