5.7 Billions and Border Wall

Trump has shutdown the gov't and has demanded 5.7B to build a wall at our southern border. Democrats have denied the money. Putting all that aside, even if Trump gets 5.7B - is it realistic to think he can build the complete wall in that amount? It's too small a number to cover the entire border with Mexico.

No. Entire wall will cost approx 30B dollars.

I had read the 5.7 bil will only cover 200 miles. The border is 2000 miles. And we already have some 600-700 miles of fencing. Dunno if we were going to replace that fencing too

If the desert and the armed people didn’t stop you...

If people had a gun holding against their head, yes?

Bullets would be cheaper but oh the morality

And more fun 🤣

That's not for the entire wall. That's for high priority areas Border Patrol has specifically requested.

Luckily Mexico is coming through just like Trump promised

The wall is nothing but a monument for Trumps ego. I can’t believe anyone would even entertain the idea. When he first said it people swore he was either joking or trolling, that he didn’t really mean that. Now they want to spend 5.7b on it? On a stupid wall that he promised Mexico would pay for? Lmfao

It’s not just the Democrats denying the money.

Liberals needed more than 12 billion to build 5 miles of light rail track in Seattle, above ground. Let that shit sink in

CA is spending $120B (at least) to build a train to nowhere/Bakersfield

At least it will be used and add to the gdp of the region. Unlike a wall.

A wall would not stop anything. Only wasting taxpayers’ money.

Microsoft ivanka Jan 10, 2019

Gun laws don't stopanything, it only takes away freedoms. Do you support gun control?

Tell that to all the families who had a family member killed from a mass shooting

Republicans denied him money for the first two years. Don’t forget that.

Lolol. I looove you Ivanka. Come to daddy.

Oath badassmfer Jan 10, 2019

I thought Mexico will pay for wall. I miss those days.

Microsoft ivanka Jan 10, 2019

I have a better idea: make liberals pay for the wall since they love taxes

Oath badassmfer Jan 10, 2019

Ivanka, No just stick to your god/daddy Cheetos’s promise ‘Mexico ‘ how about that ...
