145 million for 6 miles of wall

[Crepitus]

What's the big deal here?
The gubbment spends that on hammers and toilet seats
Only the Pentagon Could Spend $640 on a Toilet Seat

Which is why the military budget should be cut by half or more.

there are so many better ways to address this problem. like fixing our immigration policies and making congress get off their ass and work together.

Democrats don't want to "work together" on anything, much less on immigration.

NEW RESEARCH: The impact of illegal aliens on crime rates, data codebook and “do file”
17 JAN , 2018

Using newly released detailed data on all prisoners who entered the Arizona state prison from January 1985 through June 2017, we are able to separate non-U.S. citizens by whether they are illegal or legal residents. This data does not rely on self-reporting by criminals. Undocumented immigrants are at least 142% more likely to be convicted of a crime than other Arizonans. They also tend to commit more serious crimes and serve 10.5% longer sentences, more likely to be classified as dangerous, and 45% more likely to be gang members than U.S. citizens. Yet, there are several reasons that these numbers are likely to underestimate the share of crime committed by undocumented immigrants. There are dramatic differences between in the criminal histories of convicts who are U.S. citizens and undocumented immigrants.

Young convicts are especially likely to be undocumented immigrants. While undocumented immigrants from 15 to 35 years of age make up slightly over 2 percent of the Arizona population, they make up almost 8% of the prison population. Even after adjusting for the fact that young people commit crime at higher rates, young undocumented immigrants commit crime at twice the rate of young U.S. citizens. These undocumented immigrants also tend to commit more serious crimes.

If undocumented immigrants committed crime nationally as they do in Arizona, in 2016 they would have been responsible for over 1,000 more murders, 5,200 rapes, 8,900 robberies, 25,300 aggravated assaults, and 26,900 burglaries.

We don't even have a clue as to how many illegal aliens are in our country.

Specifically, who would fill the vacuum?

What happened when failed former President Barack Hussein Obama pulled al our troops out of Iraq?

ISIS and Russia filled the vacuum.

Um, illegal immigrants don't get federal assistance.

Report: More than half of immigrants on welfare
Alan Gomez, USA TODAY Published 12:08 a.m. ET Sept. 2, 2015 | Updated 7:21 p.m. ET Sept. 2, 2015

According to a study by the Center for Immigration Studies, a majority of immigrant-led households receive some form of welfare benefit. USA TODAY

More than half of the nation's immigrants receive some kind of government welfare, a figure that's far higher than the native-born population's, according to a report to be released Wednesday.

About 51% of immigrant-led households receive at least one kind of welfare benefit, including Medicaid, food stamps, school lunches and housing assistance, compared to 30% for native-led households, according to the report from the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates for lower levels of immigration.

Those numbers increase for households with children, with 76% of immigrant-led households receiving welfare, compared to 52% for the native-born.

Cheaper then taking care of illegal scum.

Native born Americans commit more crimes then documented and UnDocumented immigrants.

This was obviously pulled out of your ass. First off, illegal aliens have by defiinition committed a crime. Second, if you had said simply immigrants instead of the PC championed "undocumemted immigrants", you might have had a point. But then you are a disigenuous twit, right?

 

[Markle]

Another liar, there's a special medicade fund to reimburse hospitals for illegals that skip out on their bill.

Where does that money come from?

So true. No benefits that we have to pay for them. Free living, free education, free food and all the other things we give them. Add that up and you can build a 100 mile wall.

5,525-100=5425 more miles to go. 145/6=24.16. So you want to spend 24.16 milion per mile of wall. At that rate the entire wall costs 133,520,333,333 and they can walk through stores and just grab what they want. None of the things you have listed are free for any body you lyings sack of shit. You are the biggest fool on the planet.

And yet there's nothing written by the OP to suggest they don't oppose other waste.

The leftist here will shit their pants when they realize that the wall actually works and Texas won't turn Mexico.

Draw an line which represents an impenatrable border on what used to be an accessbale crossing. Now figure out where to station your border guard.

Illegal aliens costs this country billions of dollars every year… Appeasement helps nobody

This is in one post the biggest problem with our country today, people have lost the ability to think rationally. Either you support 24 million dollars per mile wall or your support appeasement...to the sheep from both sides there is nothing in the middle there are only the two extremes.

This has been programmed into the populous by the two parties, everything is a choice between two extremes and any nuanced thought is attacked and vilified.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The alternative, more than a hundred million more illegals coming into this country to climb onto the American Welfare Gravy Train is a lot more expensive.

Global polling indicates that about 170 million people want to come to the US to sponge off the beleaguered taxpayer, mostly from Turd World countries and mostly people without the skills to successfully compete in the American economy.

Hundred million more illegals?

Exaggerate much? Hell, right now the NET number or illegals crossing the border to those being deported is NEGATIVE without a new wall and before troops get there.

That's a lie, but they don't just come illegally across the southern border, they fly in from all over the world and don't go home as agreed.

.

How does the 24 million dollar a mile wall fix that problem since that is how the vast majority of illegals in the country got here.

Oh, but we do have the money to pay for 300,000 anchor babies every year? When you complain about the cost of the wall, we know you're spewing bullshit.

I am against birthright citizenship, have said so 100 times or more. What I do not support that you do, is just ignoring the parts of the Constitution I do not like

Good lord. I can’t believe Trump got Mexico to pony up all that money. Too bad it will be ineffective.

So Mexico finally sent some money for the wall, awesome.

Border Wall Construction Project to Begin in Texas | U.S. Customs and Border Protection

The RGV-03 project includes the construction and installation of tactical infrastructure including a reinforced concrete levee wall to the height of the existing levee, 18 feet tall steel bollards installed on top of the concrete wall, and vegetation removal along a 150 foot enforcement zone throughout the approximately six miles of levee wall system. The enforcement zone will also include detection technology, lighting, video surveillance, and an all-weather patrol road parallel to the levee wall. This project lies within the McAllen Station area of responsibility in Hidalgo County, Texas.

The RGV Sector remains an area of high illegal cross border activity. In FY 2017, USBP apprehended over 137,000 illegal aliens, and seized approximately 260,000 pounds of marijuana and approximately 1,192 pounds of cocaine in the RGV Sector. Once constructed, this levee wall system will serve as a persistent impediment to transnational criminal organizations, while still allowing river access for property owners, other federal/state/local officials, local emergency responders, and USBP.

And cheaper than the burial costs of thousand of opioid deaths each year.
