Then you pay for it because I'm not. What a waste of money.

Won't do crap. As those of us in San Diego know, the surf isn't always rough.

Wall really doesn't mean a lot, when you can come here on vacation or a day trip and just stay. Im happy with how well the economy is doing under Trump but could care less about a wall.

Still looking for a number.
I assume you'd have to convert 700 miles to feet then divide that by 18 billion, but my calculator wipes out... Nobody has an HP35s?

Have you seen the specs for the wall? They won’t be tunneling under it.

Well yeah, there's that but I think the President said the work was going to be done by Americans. Good Americans.
