Hopefully they would differentiate between projects and only shut down what can be done efficiently, rather than a mindless "train wreck" sudden halt to everything.
Also, those miles that were specifically funded by Congress (Rio Grande Valley and Laredo) should legally go ahead, but they could be sabotaged by an Administration that was committed to do so, by delaying and throwing up new legal obstacles.
Estimates up to 100k new migrants per month crashing our open borders
for free everything
What is the cost of that?
It would save 2.6 billion but cost us the country.
And how many billions would we lose as a result of the millions of aliens who will stampede across the border, expecting to be given “free stuff”?
The costs to this country if the wall is not completed is incalculable.
“would save about $2.6 billion”

The effects of not building the wall of will cost much, much more.
That savings would just be redirected to some other project, even some newly dreamed up projects.
Furthermore, the massive number of illegals streaming into the U.S. would cost the U.S. many times the ‘savings’ of $2.6 billion.
It would end up saving the U.S. many times that amount, if the wall was completed, even if the completion ends up costing 50 billion dollars more. Better to spend $50 billion than having to spend $20 billion or more each year to support the illegals coming in.

If Biden/Harris are allowed to take power after stealing the election, what the hell does a boarder matter anymore anyway? The country is done. Stick a fork in her.
And what will it cost in cancellation charges?
If completing that wall will save just one American life...
Funny, for people who accuse of having no heart they, seem totally unconcerned about the human cost of an open border on the lives and quality of life of our fellow Americans.
Saving 10 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of more people who come across and get free healthcare, free babies delivered, 3 generations compared to 2 of ours free phones,internet, get half their mortgage paid ,gas vouchers, free food........not to mention the crime that comes in. They explode the educational system and the prison system. They poach animals, burn their garbage including polyhydrocarbons at night, dump whatever they want by the side of the road including couches, cars...you name it!
This is not the cream of the crop coming.
People are sick and tired of it! They are losing businesses!
And the deep state hauls them in by the millions!
FOR FUTURE VOTES BY HOOKING THEM ON GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS.
They cost more than10 times 10 billion!
RE: Biden order to halt border wall project would save U.S. $2.6 billion, Pentagon estimates show
And how much would it save the US in terms of housing, educating, feeding and providing medical care to tens of thousands who will cross the border?
$2.6B in a $4T+ budget isn’t even a rounding error.
Are you sure it’s that much? Nanzi was pretty flinty with allocations for the wall. I think DOD had paid for most of it.
Just think how much we could save if we just eliminated the DOD
l8r
NOW they becoming penny pinchers?!
making a big deal about 2.6 billion when they are spending trillions a year.
What joke.
Lot of stupid mindless people that are gullible enough to fall for that though.
Save $2.6 billion in construction costs, but cost us $100 billion (or much more) to pay our new citizens flooding in from the south.
Figures lie and liars figure.
