Trump's wall

funinspace said:
And the first budgeting number is in for The Wall, and it comes in at just $16 million per mile. Which extrapolated out for the 2,000 mile border would be $32 billion (not including all the eminent domain purchaces El Cheato would have to pay for).

$1 billion — That’s how much the Trump administration wants to build a wall covering 62 miles of the Mexico-U.S. border, CNN reported, citing documents from the Department of Homeland Securityl.

Also, like everything else Trump does, it's a scam to funnel money to billionaires, so you need to add a 20% markup to the cost in order to account for the grift to the construction company CEOs.
 
But they put "billion" in quotes.
 
Is not true that over 800 miles of the US/Mex boarder is in the Rio Grand?How do you put a wall in a river.Or are we going to give it all back to Mexico?

Stooped me,the wall is well in to US territory,sorry.
 
Cacti, Foxes, Solar Panels, and Other Bids to Unmake Trump's Wall

Well, if we are going to have a stupid border wall, I like these ideas that have been formally submitted:

Architects drafted a design for a powerful 1,000-mile energy-generating barrier outfitted with solar panels and wind turbines.

Linton, who has studied immigration, saw the Facebook post and got busy, too. Her expansive "Beautiful Borders" vision is a wall of stovepipe cactus—which can grow to 30 feet. Landscaped with hiking trails and nearby interpretive centers jointly staffed by bilingual park rangers from Mexico and the United States, the wall would be patrolled by security forces aided by fennec foxes.

If we allowed another few hundred million years to allow Homo sapiens to evolve into a higher species that is more rational and free of crime, then there would be no need for borders.

However do you realise how many birds wind turbines kill? It's still a major problem.

This also mentions these bad pussy cats we keep in the house kill a lot more.

Anyway, people should be allowed for the duration of work contracts but should follow the naturalisation process to become a citizen.
 
It's a little bit like Field of Dreams except we have to call it Wall of Dreams.

Cue voice from the sky: "If you Build it, They Won't Come."

And then cue the people saying 'That's not coming from the sky, Donald. We can SEE you whispering into the microphone!'
 
Something brought to my attention by Bill Maher on Real Time last Friday night. A significant portion of the border is the river, the border running down the middle. If we put a wall on our side, we are basically giving Mexico the entire river. Unintended consequences indeed.
