Pay them $0.01 for the land and then bill them $500,000,000 for taking care of their escapees.

LOL - and when I think about all the fencing we put up here, must be a mile’s worth. Lots of sweat but not that bad on the bank account.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

How on earth does it cost $500,000 a mile to build the fence? That’s almost $100 per foot.

It's a government fence.

A government fence that the government actually doesn't want to build costs $100,000 per foot.

Yall want to be partners? I guess I could make do on 1 million.

[Duchess47]

Maybe trying to get the American public to yell uncle? What a waste.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Annex Mexico now!

IMO, we should trade the west coast of Mexico for the US North east. That would be a deal.

[Duchess47]

You get the bid and count me in :)

Kinda takes away your will to live........this transgression.........

ROTFLMAO

[CindyDawg]

A post hole digger, concrete, some string , a level, and a bunch of “elbow grease”:’)

The immigration bill actually provided that a study should be made to see if a border fence is needed and only implemented if the “guest worker” plan would work...in the future! That would mean that no fence be build because in theory, a “guest worker” plan should work.

“Our country will continue insisting for the removal (of the fence) to be done as quickly as possible,” the Foreign Relations Department said in a diplomatic missive to Washington.

OUR country should continue to insist for the removal of 20 million uninvited “visitors”.

[Duchess47]

For that kind of money, we could even use a tractor with a post hole digger. Diesel isn’t that expensive yet.

[SAJ]

Oh, it wouldn't cost $500K if you or I or any FReeper were the contractor.

However, with the Feds in charge, I'm frankly amazed it didn't cost more.

[Duchess47]

LOL - you’re right about that. Maybe a group of FReepers or Minutemen should bid on the contract.

[CJ Wolf]

idiot

[endthematrix]

Enough with the “annex Mexico” slogans. They’ve become old hat.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Care to elaborate upon your brain fart?

[VR-21]

How dare we encroach on a soveriegn country like that. My sincerest and most heartfelt apologies to great and noble nation of Mexico for the imposition.

[beckysueb]

And some electric fencing and a few land mines ought to keep them on their side of the border.

[PeterFinn]

The upside is that we can argue we have no right to remove the fence as it is not in the USA.
