That 10 billion dollar wall will end up costing 40 billion!

Ever heard of tunnel sensors? I'll take the wall at $10 billion plus maintenance over the $113 billion a year that illegals cost us. Anyone would who has any clue about math.

The wall will slow border crossings to the point where the Border Patrol can actually do their job.
No more 600 illegals a day crossing at McAllen, TX.

And giving the Border Patrol enough time to do a thorough job will have major ramifications. In the future, anyone caught trying to cross illegally will have a serious problem.

DHS secretary: Border wall should be finished in two years | Fox News

This was perhaps President Trump's signature issue. It will be exciting to watch how the border wall is completed so quickly.

And how much $$$ American taxpayers get hosed for.

Many miles of high walls are being installed along I-75 in Sarasota and Charlotte Counties Florida for noise abatement. [ for the whiners who complain about noise buying property next to an interstate highway]Once the polls are installed, the panels are installed within weeks. And it's not costing $billions$
The same wall system can be installed on our southern border easily within 2 years.

How long did it take to put that nice, clear, broad, fairly level Interstate right of way through there first?

Sorry, but these anchor babies are US citizens and aren't going anywhere....why do you think they should? This is their country just as well as yours.

They're only deemed U.S. citizens by a PC policy not based on the Constitution. At any rate, the Supreme Court needs the 14 Amendment on birthright citizenship re-visited for clarification of it.

Factor in the $113 billion that illegals cost every year and will increase without border security and we aren't going to be hosed. We'll be ahead of the game.

It's part of the constitution. But I agree with you. I think we are the only country that allows this....you're born here then you are a citizen. I have always disagreed with that. But I don't think it will ever be changed.

Fox News: DHS Secretary Says Parts Of Border Wall Will Be 'See Through'

Fox News reported Thursday morning that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Gen. John Kelly said that parts of President Donald Trump's border wall would be transparent. Fox’s Catherine Herridge said that Kelly told her that the wall “will take a multi-layered approach. There will be the physical wall and then parts of the wall that you can see through because it will rely on sensors and other technology.” In a subsequently aired on-camera interview Thursday afternoon, Kelly told the network that the wall, part "physical" and part "technological sensors," would hopefully be completed in two years.
A transparent wall lol, do you believe in the Easter Bunny too?
