You guys are so dense. So you want to pay for a wall that will essentially make zero difference...but yet you complain about how illegal immigrants cost billions (Is that even true? lol)? The wall is estimated to cost anywhere from 20-70 Billion to build and 150 Million a year to maintain. So that's the cost of the wall + the illegal immigrants that will get into the US regardless. I mean, it's not like there's already a huge fence spanning the length of most of the border or anything Once again, a huge waste of money. And like another poster said, you guys just want bragging rights and to rub it in liberals faces without thinking about the economic consequences.

Oh, and Fleet, if you are so concerned about wasted money, how about how much Trump and his administration have racked up in 8 months of YOUR and MY money in wasted expenditures ? Like numerous trips to Mar a Lago, golfing, and this little plane riding habit of Tom Price :

Yep, you and I are paying for him to take private jets all over Hell's creation, when he could be flying cheaper via commercial airlines...........just like we regular folks do.

But that is what you get when you elect people who have gold toilets and who hire Goldman Sachs people to run the country.

So you're saying that a wall works. Good, just as we knew. Now the left can quit throwing that dumb statement out there.

Yeah 120 foot of boarder wall

That section of wall may remain as a monument to the folly that engulfed America, in this dismal chapter of our history.

Walls on the border also helps keep illegal aliens out. Thanks for proving our point.

No the dense ones are you and your anti-wall ilk. How many times do I have to post these links proving that the good walls do work before you and your kind stop remaining in denial? I seriously doubt your numbers except that the wall is estimated to be $25 billion not $70 billion. At any rate it's still a lot cheaper than the $113 billion a year that illegal aliens costs us.


No one is saying that the wall will be 100% of effective but we shouldn't build it if it's 80% effective? It is you and yours that don't give a damn about the economic consequences of illegal immigration. We don't need a huge wall spanning the entire border. All we need is the 700 mile long wall built along the most porous areas of the border already approved by congress in 2006. The Border Patrol and the natural barriers to entry will take care of the most difficult and dangerous areas.

In the grand scheme of things what does it matter? They are here illegally and should be deported as our laws state or don't laws matter to you? What about American jobs and reduced wages? That doesn't matter to you either?

Do you actually think the media is going to report anything negative about illegal aliens these days? I remember a few years back when it wasn't taboo to report anything negative about them and there was whole camp in the hills loaded with illegal alien homeless in the San Diego area. Homeless can be anyone just use your imagination.
