"The Trump administration wants to build a 30-foot-high border wall that looks good from the north side and is difficult to climb or cut through, according to a pair of contract notices posted to a government website... The proposals are due to the government by March 29."
"The government will award a contract based on 30-foot-wide sample walls that are to be built in San Diego."
These are the requirements for the design proposals:
1) Proposals for both a solid concrete wall or for a see-through structure.
2) The wall must be sunk at least six feet into the ground
3) Must include 25-foot and 50-foot automated gates for pedestrians and vehicles.
4) Must take at least one hour to cut through it with: sledgehammer, car jack, pick axe, chisel, battery operated impact tools, battery operated cutting tools, Oxy/acetylene torch or other similar hand-held tools.
How many proposals do you think the White House will get and will any of them come from Mexico?
The poor mooks who voted for him are going to watch all of their tax money spent on this debacle & defense dept increases while their health insurance, unemployment, taxes, social security, medicare, schools just start circling the drain. Just look at his proposed budget - great for the $250K/yr crowd.
Mexico will pay? Just watch.... YOU are going to pay.

I hear the story we'll get reimbursed by tariffs and charging Mexicans higher visa fees to visit the US, but when Mexico responds in kind, just how will they be paying for the wall as promised?
Just so you know, a fair number of us will never click those weirdo websites you guys link to. Try to find a more reputable source.
The design proposal notices have already been made public late Friday by Customs and Border Protection, the Homeland Security Department agency that will oversee the project and eventually patrol and maintain the wall. The website that is "scaring" you just took the info from the Customs and Border Protection website's PRESS RELEASES here:
All he has in next two year budgets is under $4 billion; the estimated cost is $25 billion. And Congress isn't willing to commit to that, not now, likely not ever. More Americans reject the wall than support it.
More importantly GOP senators from farm states oppose the wall, as do GOP senators from states that have done well under NAFTA. Not to mention the GOP senators with brains in their heads who also oppose this ridiculous idea.
They will let the little man-child have a few billion just to make him happy; that $4 billion will be spent on eminent domain and engineering studies....all money out the window since it'll never be built.

I'd rather pay for a $25 billion wall than the $113 billion a year that illegals cost us and would continue to rise with more of them coming here. Not to mention the loss of jobs, reduced wages, more depletion of our natural and social resources, overcrowded schools, jails, hospitals, roads and neighborhoods and increased crime from illegal immigration.
