at that cost-per-mile it's only $7 billion. What a great use of funds! Too bad it won't stop illegal immigration.

Nope, less than 700 to go. Read my prior post. The good walls have proven to deter illegal entry very effectively. Do I need to post those links again? How is it a waste of funds when it is also cost effective?

A $73 million wall that can be defeated with a $300 tool.

Yup, that is a Republican plan alright.

Not if a border patrol agent is waiting for them. That's why agents asked for bollard walls -- you can see who is coming.
