Link to CNN, same story,Trump border wall ask: $1B for 62 miles - CNNPolitics.com
I will help you do the math:
1 Billion for 62 miles.
1,954 total border miles
1,954 divided by 62 = 31.52
31.52 x $1 Billion = 31.52 BILLION DOLLARS

I think it's the best money the U.S. has spent in a long, long time. No, it won't stop everyone but it will stop quite a few that otherwise just simply walk over the border. Besides, it sends a message that we already have enough illegals here and don't want or need any more. It sends a message that the border between this country and Mexico exists and people are not allowing to come and go over it as they feel like. It sends a message that we now take law breakers who don't care about our laws seriously.
That's just my opinion. I live in So Cal and have had enough of dealing with millions of illegals. Those in other states that have small numbers of illegals have no idea what it's like.
Stop the reason they come and they quit coming. How many employers of illegals has the administration went after? None.
Freedom Caucus has been emboldened by their ability to kill the AHCA.
They are none to fond of the wall.
Maybe Bannon will hit the House Floor again to tell members how to vote because that worked so well for the Trump and Admin endorsed AHCA.
Any politician serious about illegal immigration would lead with an investment in e- Verfy with the intention of making it a Federal Law. You know- get to the root cause.
E-verify is in Trump's new budget bill. Try again!

They've apparently settled on the Marxist plan:

Hiring illegals is already on the books. Enforce it. Isn't this the complaint we hear all the time? New laws are worthless when the old ones aren't being enforced?
Spending so much on the wall is a ridiculous idea. I am all for curbing illegal immigration but like the PP suggested, enforce the existing e-verify laws. Also, I wish the liberals (I am also a liberal) would stop complaining so much and *justifying* illegal immigration. It demeans those who come into this country legally and spend their time and effort going about it the right way.
