Speaking of making money:
How much are the ChiComs paying to post this anti Trump Garbage?

I don’t know the cost of this, but maybe it is the least expensive way to dispose of the debris.

Depends on how the contract was written.

Better they take the scrap wall pieces than the catalytic converter off of my other vehicle.
They already got the one off of my truck while parked in South Carolina.

It would cost more to haul it than it’s worth. If the Mexicans will clean up and make 10$ a ton who cares?
To: Cronos
scrap metal is cheap, doesn’t pay to haul it away. Let Mexico do it and make a little money.

So?
The wall gets replaced. US Taxpayers don’t have to pay to deal with the debris. Mexican scrappers make a few bucks. The desert floor gets cleaned-up.
I don’t see a problem here.

All of that metal and concrete should have been carried away to Phoenix or TucsonThe cost of doing that is probably more than the $$ which the scrap will generate. Most business' don't do things to lose money.

Let’s see, sell it to Mexico or pay to have it recycled. Tough choice.

My parents had two construction companies, one union, one non-union. I was VP for the union company for about 15 years.
That said, I can safely say that nothing I read in the article is unusual in the course of construction demolition.
If the contractors were to dispose and recycle the demolished materials, they would have to pay laborers, truck drivers, etc, to do so. Those added costs get passed onto the taxpayer since this is a government job.
Giving it to the messycans sounds like a pretty cheap way to get rid of trash.

More than likely a loss for us.
To: Cronos
Correct me if I am wrong but there has never been a wall so it can’t be replaced. I think this a fake story as usual again trying to blame President Trump.

Progressive “watchdogs”...
Focus on the taxpayer money literally going up in smoke in Democrat run cities instead of corroded scrap metal.

Look at it this way. The Mexican scrap dealers are paying for the wall.
The old wall, sure, but another Trump promise kept.

Probably cheaper to let the Mexicans salvage the scrap than it is to haul it off. Especially now that we are not sending scrap to China.

Sounds like a win-win, we don’t pay to have it all hauled away, mexicans make some money and re-use/re-cycle.

What would we do with crappy Chinese steel?
