Obviously each area is going to have her own challenges & costs but gonna be substantial regardless & IMHO $5b doesn't seem crazy if placed in the areas where it does the job. I did a quick search on the cost & it's all over the place / covers a big window so who knows for sure. Some guessed $70b to do most of the 3k miles where feasible & saw another estimate of $3.1mm per mile??
5 billion he is asking for was less than 1% of the budget...honestly, when we get into the multi trillion budgets, it's beyond me getting into that sort of jack.

I had a Client tell me we should build the American Canal connecting the gulf with Pacific. Long term that might be a good idea.Last edited by BrandonA; 12-20-2018, 08:26 PM.

Hmmm, seems like it depends on what the definition of IS, is. I think Bill Clinton may be looking for a staff member, you should apply

Seen an article this morning that says the gofundme money will not get released to the government unless a bill is passed before January to accept it.
After January, Democrats will not approve a bill to use donated money to build the wall.
I hope Trump starts talking about this soon. The media does not want to hear about it.Last edited by Radar; 12-21-2018, 05:36 AM.

I admire the veteran for undertaking such a task and I’ll support his effort in every way I can. Sure, Trump has spouted off and claimed he will have the Mexican gov’t build the wall, but we all know that ain’t gonna happen. Congress isn’t going to support it because there are millions of prospective Democrats just chomping at the bits to cross the border and hop on the gravy train. If it’s gonna be done, there’s gonnna have to be a strong show of support from “We The People”. As of just a little bit ago, the page had already raised $1,807,729 and it’s only been up for a couple of days. If everyone would stop complaining about the problem, and start being part of the solution, our kids and grandkids will be able to enjoy a life like we have. God bless us all and Merry Christmas

It needs to be used to purchase wall easements from current land owners if the gov. Has not already gotten that done. This money if actually given to gov will likely be used for maps and water stations for the illegals and not used to stop them.
Government has no desire to stop these people.
