Very good estimate, but I noticed you did not take into account the high tech security equipment. e.g. cameras and detectors, in the mix ( they have those at the border between San Diego and Tijuana and Israel’s wall with Gaza as well ).
There’s always Prozac, but you did make it to my No-Call list.
Good luck.
And while you’re taking your Prozac try to remember - American tariffs are paid for by any American consumer that still wants to buy a product from Mexico and try not to freak out too much about that.
That is why a had such a big percentage for incidental features. I have done force protection construction for the armed forces. There are lots of aspects to this that would be cost items if I was going to speculate. Anti-tunneling cut off slurry walls below ground is something you would want to have in certain remote areas.
Where we have border construction, it has sometimes required the Corps of Engineers to build a road to get to an area, then provide protection from snipers.
nah camo...for a touch of atmosphere
Sounds like bargain. We got a tunnel in Boston that stretches for two miles that cost that amount, the Big Dig.
It costs America far more per year for the MILLIONS of Illegals collecting freebies and NOT paying any income tax.
Keep up your pro-cheap garbage tactic since it pleases you. I don’t need anything from Mexico. I can find better quality right here in the USA. Unlike people like you who obviously live on drugs, I don’t need any. I’m extremely well educated, well traveled, well balanced, and as the French say, “Bien dans ma peau.”
Well, Molly, regardless of your unbalanced harangue a few posts ago, regardless of what you need or don’t need, regardless of your ad hominems, education, travel, French, and all your other attempts to deflect the point here, American tariffs will still be paid by any American consumer who still wants to buy a product from Mexico.
Bye bye and good luck.
What you spend on Mexican “stuff” employs Mexicans, produces taxes for the Mexican government, and increases the outflow of American capital, weakening our base. What you spend on American made goods employs Americans and continues to flow through the American economy, providing others with jobs and our own tax revenue. You and those like you would rather buy cheap and sell out your own country for the possible difference of a few dollars. Don’t try to convince me because I spent too many years in business to swallow your hog-wash.
You probably drive a Jap car too!
American tariffs on imports from Mexico will be paid by any American consumer who wants to buy a product from Mexico. How is that “hogwash”?
And just what product from Mexico is so desirable as to be better than supporting the economy of the US?
Missing the point there Molly. The economics of a tariff do not depend your personal feelings or morality. Those who still want to buy products from Mexico will pay for the tariff.
$21,000,000,000??? Clown Dunce nobama and his pals blew $10,000,000,000,000.00. What did that buy us? Build it...add some claymores.
