Too long!
AND, since this enterprise will be funded by the US federal gov't, it will...
1) cost too much money and
2) probably NEVER work like a fence is supposed to!
NEVER!

What border fence? If we build a border fence along our southern border, where will our workers who keep our economy so strong come from? A fence stops free trade. How will the drug-runners and illegal immigrants get in? What right does America have to protect itself from an invading army? We don't need a fence, we need for our government to heavily fine those who hire illegals. No jobs, no need to come here. We would save a lot of money that could better be spent elsewhere.

Being as it is a government project you will be lucky if it is built by the time your great grand children are retiring. In other words it will probably cost about a billion dollars for nothing. Sorry.

I wonder how they're going to pay for it. I understand the government's already in debt. (Note the subtle tone of understatement here.)
