The White House has requested $18 billion over 10 years to pay for a 700 mile border wall. The request includes roughly $14 billion for guard towers, access roads and additional border agents, leaving about $4 billion to construct the wall itself. More
Thomas Fischer ,of Fischer Sand and Gravel, recently told Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt that his company can deliver a 30 -foot high solid concrete wall that is 2 and 1/2 feet thick which can be placed continuously for 700 miles, with access roads, for about $4 billion. Fischer was the only border wall bidder of the six finalists to accept the offer to talk about his proposal on Fox and Friends. More
Over a billion dollars in remittances to Mexico in 2017. When do we start taxing those bye-bye dollars? A 15% fee would pay that wall off before Trump finishes his second term!🤑
It must be done before Trump leaves office. Or it will never happen. When a liberal is president again
it’s all over. We’re screwed.
Damn. I bought aggregate giant Martin Marrieta stock after DJT was elected, expecting them to be a major player in this wall thing.
Oh well. There’s infrastructure.
Even if Trump builds it, the next Democrat to get elected will give a “Tear down this wall!” speech and stand by while Antifa take sledgehammers to it.
My memory is a little fuzzy, didn’t congress approve funding for a border wall about 10 years ago, or did i just dream that?
Pay for it with the welfare that’s being spent on illegals now, 18 Billion should be a drop in the bucket.
Thirty feet tall? Guard towers? Minefields?
I’m becoming aroused.
The dollar value should have no bearing on the wall. The state of America and indeed it’s very future is what’s at stake.
C-Span 2 President addresses Congress on immigration 1995.
Big beautiful wall to keep big ugly criminals out.
I keep asking … if Barky can funnel $150 billion to Iran, why can’t Trump get $18 billion for obvious Homeland Security?
By the time the wall is built ten years from now there will be 1 billion more illegal aliens in this country!
NOT impressed. Wall construction should be well under way by now. Congress should not have to approve more spending when 40% of Washington DC is of little or no value, YUGELY over compensated, and in dire need of being shut down so we can pay for what is really important: The wall.
One more thought: If they cut Washington by 40% and have money left over? Heavily invest in voter integrity. Fraud is out of control.
700 Miles?
Think of the TAGGERS!
Trump is a builder. He knows what a yard of concrete costs for a major contract. I’m not listening to any of this stuff until he steps up to the mic and explains what’s what. It’s all speculation at this point.
700 X 5280 is more than $1,000 per foot. Yougely expensive.
Mexico is flipping the bill on this project still….right?
Why is it not possible to stop all entry at the actual border now? Not legal to enter? No entrance.
Refugee applications? Only accepted at our embassies in the applicant’s home country.
Don’t let any of them set foot on our soil. Turn them all back.
