Trump says 10 billion, experts say 25-100 billion

Yes, it's going to cost more than the entire highway budget. Trump always brings his projects in ahead of time and under budget.

 

This figure is relatively  accurate WOD, you better prepare yourself 

 

Estimated cost $10 billion and some people predict it will double to $20 billion

$10 billion is what was left under White House seat cushions after Obama left. Anyway, whatever the cost (I estimate $4-10 billion) it will be over several years. Edit: Also having to patrol a wall instead of open space will greatly save on man power requirements, so it'll actually save a lot of money in the long term. We're not even talking about all the free medical care, education, etc illegal aliens get, or the tens of billions of dollars they send out of the country every year.

Also its not  going to be a solid wall of concrete, there will be " virtual parts of the wall " but things like drones, satellites, infrared, different barriers  and increased patrols will protect these parts of the wall 

Solid wall doesn't make much sense, it should be something like the San Diego or the Israeli fence with sensors I just linked to. It's known what works, in spite of what the naysayers always claim. Where the area is too remote or rugged to justify a fence, they can put stationary balloons that see 20 miles each way. Speaking of building: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/01/25/elon-musk-the-boring-company-tunnels/97030778/

Some of his companies went bankrupt. He's now the most successful person in the world, both a billionaire and a president. If you're afraid to fail, you'll never succeed.

Brilliant satire. Right?

 

Wonder what effect this will have on wildlife, though I doubt any of you will care that much.

Trump gamed the system well. I'm not mad. I do get upset when people praise rich people for doing the things they criticize poor people for though but now I'm getting off topic

I find it funny that guys who claim they work 9 to 5 and all they get in result is more debt are criticizing a billionaire for a few failed projects.

Well, those failures by the billionaire may impact more people due to scope. And what's wrong with expecting more from your leaders?

It's not like Trump started with nothing, so that's a pretty silly comparison.

Oh, we got more, so much more : http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/444273/trumps-immigration-executive-orders

 

"a cutoff of visas for countries that refuse to take back their own citizens when we try to deport them."

 

Sanity finally returns.

I mean yeah, if you're afraid of failure you're not going to succeed but excessive failure is also not a great precedent for your president.

Trump bankrupted a casino.

 

What's the 9-to-5 equivalent of that? Getting fired from a toilet cleaning job?

Yeah, the last President couldn't run a McDonald's.

That Saudi Arabian fence is sweet! If were going to build a wall, it should be like theirs.

"Open borders cartel". Sigh, damn articles with crank style writing

 

Also apparent inability to spell "foolproof" correctly, which doesn't make me think of the writer as an incredibly competent person I should be listening to.

Drinking the kool-aid

 

I am sure that Trump's wall will work as well as Maginot Line

Are you disputing the Israeli and Saudi claims of effectiveness?

Are you disputing the Israeli and Saudi claims of effectiveness?

 

Yes, especially Israel's. I would also point out that either of said walls circumstances aren't even close in comparison to what the alternative wall of USA is meant to be.

No, if he spelled it "foolproof", it would only be proofed from you.

I don't think anyone would cite Saudi Arabia as a beacon of border security- their Great Wall is on paper, and if it's manned by Saudis won't be at all effective no matter its construction. Meanwhile, shoeless Houthis are still wandering around southern Saudi watching the Saudi border guards panic and run whenever shot at and blowing up a comical amount of advanced gear, including Abrams.

Dang, they could probably parlay one anti-tank weapon into hundreds of pairs of shoes. Those fools.
