I am reading that the great border WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I have not gotten involved in the.....

...design or negotiations yet. When I do, just like with the F-35 FighterJet or the Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN!

What’s the problem? If we can fork over $150 billion(God that’s insane) to a TERRORIST country surely we can fork over $150 billion to build a freaking wall! UGH!!!!!!

Every government project costs more than originally projected.

“a pittance”
Si. Consider jail and prison costs.
It costs an average of about $71,000 per year to incarcerate an inmate in prison in California.
Once the wall is built and the border secure, we might want to consider `repatriating’ incarcerated Mexicans as well.

president Trump needs to have someone track down where obozo’s $800 billion TARP funds went, recapture it and use that money for the boarder wall and to prosecute those who currently have it as well as prosecuting the obozo for misappropriation of US tax dollars. And then there’s that Wall Street bail out of $700 billion that GW Bush and his lackeys should be prosecuted for stealing.

There have been many posts about buying bricks or whatever is used on my FB page. Many are all for the idea. I had thought of this weeks ago and wondered if names could be on them. I know State raises money this way.

To restate...

I was poking fun at Myself and the fact
That in doing so Others get offended or take me the wrong way.
Perhaps it’s a grammar or punctuation
Foul up, but I have this “Power”
To Trigger others indignation.
Have a nice day!

If people violating immigration laws were sentenced to hard labor building the wall before being deported, would that not reduce the cost of the wall?

Hell, add in the prison populations (IIRC, 50% of which are illegals); I’m tire of the pussification of the ‘correctional’ facilities. If they just *happen* to break away and go home, or shot, that’d be a damn shame.
