No, read it carefully- it's incredibly cheap compared to the cost of social services for illegals.
I was implying what GW would eventually say to keep from having to build the wall/fence.
The fact of the matter is - IF you compare it to the cost of services for illegals, then yes it COULD be a bargain (if we can somehow deport them after the wall is built). But as we won't be saving that money because they will all be granted amnesty (ie - rewarded for breaking the law), we will still be out the fence money AND still be paying the cost of services.
ANd of course, as is true with most statistics - if you compare it to the right figures, you can make $2k toilet seats look like a bargain...
And I am 100% in favor of building a fence/wall to protect our border. I just find it laughable that the cost has already been figured to be $3 million per mile - a number that, were it built by private parties, is several times what it should actually cost.
So - who's going to get the contract? Halliburton???
