$1.8 bil is chumpchange. Texas alone has 1200 miles of border. It's total length is 1,951 miles.

Doing the math that fence would cost about $174.74 per foot.

Remember, there's more than one strand of wire, the supports are well fastened to concrete or stone, it's anywhere from 12 to 20 feet high, consists of "wall" in many places, and will be constructed in some of the harshest environments in the world ~ as provided by the Gran Sonora, Earth's oldest desert.

So,no, it's not being made out of Platinum.

excuse me but read the piece again...
they're not talking about 1200 miles of fence,
they are talking about 370 miles.

"Doing the math that fence would cost about $174.74 per foot."

And even less if we "volunteer" illegals to do the work...as restitution. Think of it as community service for illegals. Then deport them.
