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

Waste of money.

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:

quote:

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.


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.

Crony capitalism is alive and well in the good ole US of A.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

The establishment has to be laughing its arse of at how easily it continues to fool the public.

It's not.

The border wall isn't just of physical deterrent.

It's also effective propaganda against open borders activists and future open borders administrations and Congresses. Trying to tear it down will completely paint them as someone being completely comfortable with out of control illegal immigration. It's a deterrent against those people.
