Time for the “Not this #*@& again” meme.

Im surprised Rand didn’t fly to LA and stand with Newscum and Loud Mouth Bass.

Is rand's guestimate taking into consideration the extra hiring of border
guards plus equipment.

More immigration judges hired to expedite removing twenty million illegals.

Electronic detection and tracking devices.

It all adds up.

OK break that down into material cost and labor cost. And does this jive with the cost of the previous Trump sponsored wall construction?

And does your cost analysis take into consideration that the initial sections of the wall were over flat land mostly?

The final sections of the wall is for areas very rugged or along the Rio Grande.

Did Rand Paul take this into consideration with his latest screed against the "Big Beautiful Bill" or is this just in line with his earlier comments this year where he does not want to deport the Illegals but put them into a work program?

Rand is ONE Senator out of 53*... With 50 votes needed for passage.

*We know ALL the democrats will be a NO vote. Perhaps a exceedingly small chance of getting the one crazy democrat to vote yes.

Thank God we did so good in the Senate races... and ‘just’ good enough in the House.

But we cannot afford to send the bill back to the House with ANY changes. The vote margin over there is 0.

The Libertarian Party supports open borders is one of the reasons I gave up on them decades ago. Rand Paul is as bad as his father. In many ways, he is worse.

He has worked his way deep into the party where he can cause maximum damage, while helping the democrats...

“ You forgot the labor cost..”

I figure that was included in the RFQ. If not, you are correct. $6.5 billion quickly turns into many billions more. And it isn’t 1000 miles. It’s closer to 1500 miles.

Rand Paul is a sanctimonious fraud. Paul and Massie never have an alternative that is achivable. The two of them will be the first to sign up for the circular firing sqaud.

Rand Paul opposes mass deportations, he said in January 2025 interview.

“I’ve always thought the trade-off was this: If you came here illegally, you get to work, you still don’t get to vote and you really don’t get on a track to vote. You came here illegally,” Paul told the Herald-Leader on Jan. 10. “Your punishment is you don’t have a citizenship track, but you get to stay and you get to work.

Look at the date! Jan 30, 2025. After Biden dumped untold millions of illegals into our cities, Rand says give them all amnesty.
