Republicans went from

"Mr. Gorbachov tear down this wall"

"BUILD THE WALL!"

Trump likes Russia so much, so he can be Gorbachev, to another county's Reagan.

400 companies? Jesus. That is a mad dash.

Drug cartels will just use drones won't they?

What a fucking boondoggle this is.

Billions of dollars just being...thrown away. America truly has gone off the deep end.

As stupid a movie as it was, I kind of liked the scene near the ending of The Day After Tomorrow, where crowds of Americans were desperately trying to cross the border into Mexico. Something like that, except hindered by this obscene monstrosity, as the result of some disaster such as Yellowstone erupting, would be our just deserts if it actually does get built.

An 18 feet tall ladder. Problem solved and it shows how stupid it is.

I can't believe this stupid idea might be become reality

The budget on the wall is worse than the bottom line figure because normally when a government spends 30 billion it is on an asset that is productive and pays dividends: highways, science, medical research, dams, nuclear power stations, universities etc.

But a wall is absolutely unproducfive, the majority of the people it may deter would have paid taxes and work for low wages adding to the economy so even if you want to put a dollar figure on keeping people out, it is a nett negative. Spending 30 billion on a wall is like 300 billion not spent on infrastructure projects

Just to put some sort of opportunity cost on that figure, that could build and fully equip 32 new state of the art hospitals equivalent to the 862 bed Dallas Parkland Memorial Hospital.

They should build 38 hospitals on the boarder with no rear access
