>>> My only question is does that price figure in the cost of Union Labor or not? <<<

$8 bil for the initial contract and then about $6 bil to subcontractors who will hire illegals to do a half-assed job of it for $4 bil.

Estimating 2,000 miles of barrier at $8 billion comes to $756 per foot. Does this also include the cost of depots to house troopers, vehicles and other equipment at appropriate intervals along the barrier, and building and maintaining the roads along it as well? Not to mention a salaries of personal to man and patrol? Does someone in construction know how high a wall could be built at $756 a foot using Davis Bacon wages?

How is Cruz building his wall? It was his idea first.

I see you already factored in $10 billion in cost “overruns”.
