House passes spending bill with $1.6B for Trump’s border wall | New York Post

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that will provide $1.2 trillion to fund the government past Sept. 30, and will allocate $1.6 billion towards President Donald Trump’s border wall.
The legislation gives $658.1 billion to the Department of Defense, $44.3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security and allocates the rest of the money towards other federal agencies. The bill lops all 12 annual spending bills into two one piece of legislation.
If Congress failed to act by the Sept. 30 deadline, portions of the government would be forced to shut down and all non-essential government employees will forgo payment until they reached an agreement. The bill now makes its way to the Senate for approval.
The House passed another measure in July which provided $790 billion for defense, homeland security and infrastructure projects. The July bill also included $1.6 billion for physical barriers to be constructed along the southern U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump administration picks companies to build border wall prototypes - ABC

I just saw an ABC news article saying NO WALL, Trump makes false promises with a BS survey monkey type poll saying people don't want the wall...

There's no way they can build a 1500 mile wall for 1.6 billion.

Legit question, how much high tech wall as previously described do you get for 1.6 billion?
I doubt you could do 1/5th the texas border for that.
Expedited construction, no regs.

Probably spend billions on consultants, prototypes and maybe even a small piece of wall before realizing it's futile.
Waste of money.
Waste of money.

There isn't going to be a 1,500 mile continuous wall. Natural barriers won't need to be reinforced with a wall.

Does your retarded arse not realize they're going to build it in sections?
And to answer your question, however much it is will be more than that fricking poser Obama put in place.

And to the idiots thinking they're actually getting the Wall built for this price, the Berlin Wall was $200 Million adjusted for inflation and was only 96 miles long. Also there's this jewel back from a few years ago:
So yeah, 10 years ago it cost 2.4 billion for fencing a 1/3 of the Wall. This is just lighting money on fire.

About 670 miles of fencing on the U.S.–Mexico border was completed in accordance with the Bush administration's Secure Fence Act of 2006. That alone cost about $2.4 billion, for roughly one-third of the entire border and, according to migration experts, some of the easier and less costly areas to fence.

I was never even worried about it. My President told me not to worry.

This is a 3 month funding bill. We have 7 years to get all of the money.
At that current rate we will get about 44.6 billion to do the border.
