Build a wall, not a fence. The GOPe and all these elitest "conservatives" in the media don't even want a fence.

We would all like a fence. We don't want a fence costing several hundred billion dollars. Making Mexico pay for it is ridiculous. They don't have close to that GDP.

Look how many Reagan and GWB judges have turned out sour. I'd rather have Trump with his business orientated mind pick them than any career politician.

I agree that conservatives have done a poor job of picking SCOTUS candidates. If you think businessmen are going to do a better job I have a tower to sell you in New York.

Considering you attacked Trump for being substantive, I think you DID drink some kool-aid!

I'm not drinking straight from the spigot.

So in all actuality, you oppose the border wall, and thus you, in all reality, aren't serious about stopping illegal immigration. Explains your opposition to Trump! As for price, you can't really put a price on national security. I doubt you know either how much it'll cost either way.

However, immediately after Bush declared a wall can’t be built, he also contradicted himself by saying construction of a wall would cost “billions".

“If it was [built], it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars,” he insisted.

Bush’s calculations predict that each mile of border fence would cost at least $100 million to construct.

It appears Bush may have exaggerated the cost of the wall that can’t be built. Experience shows that walls are much simpler to build than spaceships and rockets, nuclear weapons, or a huge military. In fact, the Government Accountability Office concluded in 2009 that the most ambitious border wall under consideration would cost $5.1 million per mile.

Trump is a construction professional, and he predicts a lower cost than “hundreds of billions.”
