Border chief says Wall is a waste of money .

[Mustang]

That wall will save us billions

Building, maintaining, and manning the wall will cost billions upon billions over the decades

Yes, let's talk about some of the costs normally not considered.

1. No roads. Many of these areas have no roads whatsoever. That would mean roads would need to be built just to get equipment and supplies into the area.

2. No nearby communities where the wall is being built. That would mean that workers would have to be brought in to temporarily live in the areas where the wall is being built, plus we would have to provide housing, showering facilities, heat and AC, food and food preparation, etc.

3. No nearby stores. Because of this, all supplies would have to be shipped in, including fuel, fuel for generating electricity, water, refrigeration units, heavy equipment, concrete, sand, rocks, wood, bricks, rebar, and on and on.

4. Since this would be a work area without any kind of a typical support network, there would also need to be medical personnel of some kind and people to work as a small police force for security.

Work and the support network will come. Some one will open up a restaurant to feed them, a gas station will pop up. Then another one will pop up across the street. But the wall won't be the same across the board. Parts may need to be droned, parts may be patrolled. But I say, go bigly:

Why not a wall lined with store fronts, museums, state by state goods, farmer's markets...
Make it a tourist attraction on this side and a detraction on the other side. Hire vets to patrol. Make it a modern day Route 66. Make it make money.

Are you daft? We're talking about isolated areas, often in the middle of nowhere, miles, and miles, and miles from the nearest small towns in sparsely populated rural counties. As such, there are no roads, no sewage lines, no water lines, and no electric lines.

So will 50,000 border guards, numskull. The later will cost far more than the wall, in fact. The wall reduces the cost of manpower. It's the cheaper way to go. Do you think Israel would have built a 400 mile wall if they thought it was a waste of money?

Israel needs a wall because they're a religious theocracy with terrible foreign policy. Oh wait... I think I know why you want a wall here now.

He's retiring and no longer has to play politics .

He's right . If you really want to control illegal immigration the money is better spent on more Ice agents or more immigration courts and judges .


Retiring Border Chief Calls Trump's Wall a Waste of Time, Money

No wonder 5 million illegals were getting in every year while he was in charge.

The retiring border chief is an Obama appointee.

That said, I agree with more border agents, sharpshootin' guys who can hit a refried bean at 1000 yards.

right wing fantasy?

Simple efficiency.

there is no efficiency in Prohibition.

There is no prohibition in our immigration laws that aren't there to protect Americans.

lol. Protect us with immigration laws? What if they don't want to assimilate, but would like to go home and come back, on a regular basis?

Those damn Jews trying to not get blown up in pizza restaurants, how oppressive of them.

Call it 'Infrastructure Spending.' Maybe some Democrat dunces will accidentally support it. Whatever it takes. Just get it done.

it requires war on illegals tax rates.

Democrats are always big on 'Infrastructure Spending', no? So lets just call it an 'Infrastructure Project', and get it done. Could create a lotta American Jobs. Gonna require a huge amount of labor to build it.

let's not; it should require socialist tax rates on a national basis.

Large infrastructure projects can provide a lot of American Jobs. So let's get Americans working and get that wall built.

a wall is not infrastructure.

Let's ask all the electricians, plumbers, carpenters , brick layers, etc... whose lives have been destroyed by your "generosity".

Moron leftards don't even know much of the wall has already been built.

How about a graph of illegal immigration numbers over the years ? See where we have peaks an valleys .

Then we need to put in roads, sewage lines, water lines and electric. Towns grew up around gold miners who needed to eat and bathe. Railroads had races to lay track, drones would do well in isolated areas that really can't be reached, but if they can dig through mountains to run a railroad.... If we can go to the moon. We can make a profitable wall.

Why waste all that money when you have better alternatives.

nope; the right wing gets the credit for that. i am advocating for unemployment compensation that is one dollar an hour less than the statutory minimum wage or beat our poverty guidelines, simply for being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States.

and, how many illegals does the right wing claim, come in each and every year?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Trump and his supporters disagree.

Who do you think is going to win this?

my left wing "crystal ball" predicts plenty of litigation, for fun and profit.

So you're going to sue because we want to uphold laws already in the books?

What laws are on the books?

Are ya fucken stupid?

Wrong, douche bag. Democrats who facilitate illegal aliens are the ones who get the credit. Don't try to put the blame on Republicans.

That's all they want to do? Damn. Then they really need to hire some new foreign policy people.

 

[12icer]

Most of the wall in Israel has guard towers, and the road is paved. This could be either the Mexican wall they built to keep out Guatemalans or the one on their Northern border either. They paid for the southern wall, I have no doubt that they will end up paying for the northern wall being finished if they want to keep having free commerce with the USA.
