Should not cost 1.4 BILLION either....p>That’s baloney!!
The figure was $1.6 billion, but that’s just a down-payment.
It is going to cost somewhere between $10 and $20 billion.
If we look at our costs for illegal aliens each year, that number is dwarfed.
It’s also helpful to know that $20 billion is 0.0056% of one year’s federal budget.
It is something like 0.00111% of a five year federal budget plan.
I think a fee will be imposed on money transfers to Mexico and perhaps a few other nations where illegals come from, and that will pay for the wall.
