Trump has said the wall, which will be at least 35 to 50 feet high and made of pre-cast concrete, would cost anywhere from $8 billion to $12 billion.

Only $4 to $6 million a mile? I think they're being very optimistic. The land alone will cost that.

“We still need a way to get the current illegals out...”

I think when that wall starts going up, those here illegally are going to have a HUGE “OH CRAP!” moment where they realize that Trump WASN’T just blowing smoke; that he’s actually DOING what he said he would, and that their number is just about up. When that happens, I think we will see a VERY substantial self-deportation movement that will leave us with a comparatively small population remaining to vet out and deal with.

Isn’t there supposed to be a terrorist training camp 8 miles south of El Paso?

Also if attacked the team to take out the attackers must include raids in Mexico. They sure won't like that.

Most may not be aware of a principle of international law called "hot pursuit".

The fact is that, if marauders retreat across an international border, and legitimate forces of the invaded country are in "hot pursuit", they may continue across the border in pursuit of the marauders.

You are correct: The Secure Fence Act of 2006.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Fence_Act_of_2006";

Thank you Duncan Hunter...finally it will be implemented. I wish Pres. Trump would name Hunter as Secty of Homeland Security. He earned it!

A lot of the land is federally owned.

there are others than pay pal and if you are serious you can set up an intermediary in say Panama or Kazakhstan or Dubai

I get paid by Ahmed, I pay Mktar in Dubai and he pays Salim in Iran

It’s really not a problem, especially to Mexico

Any pair of cousins can be well established within a week or so

I think we will see a VERY substantial self-deportation movement that will leave us with a comparatively small population remaining to vet out and deal with.

It was happening in my neighborhood in Arizona until the Man-Child President took Sheriff Joe to court. There were "Se Renta" signs popping up all over the place as they self-deported. I would see sheriff's deputies at the Circle K with all of the illegals outside, handcuffed on the ground. They were going after employers and the illegals hanging outside of the Home Depot. The traffic on the freeways eased up considerably. On the I-10, you would see pickup trucks piled up with furniture all heading south towards the border. Crime was going down. And then Obama happened. Within a year they were all returning.

“That money will be recovered quickly from reduced costs for law enforcement, incarceration, bogus welfare payments, and EITC tax “credits”.”

Not to mention emergency-room treatments for colds and hangnails for illegals, at the expense of American citizens.

Build it you save that much or more in welfare alone within a year.

As soon as possible start running commercials in Mexico telling them the U.S. freebees have STOPPED. No more free stuff, no more free healthcare, no more sanctuary cities to live in either.

The illegals have zero hesitation rioting and waving the Mexican flag in “our” country. Why doesn’t a-holes like Geraldo Rivera tell the illegals to go home to Mexico and riot in the streets of their own country and try to make it a decent place to live?

Oh yeah....and they can take Geraldo with them!

That have to first repeal all of the stupid regulations for environmental /biological studies and for the really big ones that require an “Environmental Justice” review.

For those not familiar with that the project proponent has to look at the effects of the project on the poor and minority populations and provide an analysis on them. Then they have to provide mitigation measures to alleviate the impact.

Agree that self-deportation will be significant.
Along with increased concrete and razor wire production.
