Tens of billions of dollars? What's that, a weekend's worth of welfare & food stamps?

Why would anyone trust what NBC says on this issue?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Yeah. We can drop a trillion on fantasy ‘shovel ready’ jobs that just we not as shovel ready as we thought. But the idea of spending billions on border protection...well that’s just a ludicrous thought.
Government logic at it’s best.

That’s ok with me. We should use the reparations money to pay for it and maintain the wall with the money that planned parenthood is getting from us.

And the 21,000 border patrol agents currently on duty would be "nowhere near sufficient" to keep close surveillance on all of it, And how insuffient is that number when all you have is a sign that says "U.S. border. Don't cross!"?

We just gave Iran $150 billion to buy weapons to use against us and Israel, so what’s the big deal?

All it would take is a pair of chain-link fences. With a minefield in the middle.

I’d say that would be money well spent.

Neither of the Koreas had “tens of billions of dollars” in 1953, yet there sits the DMZ.

We’ll save that in no time by not having to dish out “entitlements” to foreign nationals.

We could recruit an American Foreign Border Legion from friendly countries to guard it.

It is estimated that illegal aliens cost us $130 billion a year. This doesn’t include the human and financial costs of criminal alien crime beyond incarceration costs.

Eliminate Government intervention in HealthCare, the Deptartments of Education, Energy, and HUD, and you can not only have a Big Fence, but a Moat full of Crocodiles and Pirhanas.
