"Waste" of money. Who cares build the fence. The American public has clamored that they wish for this atrocity to be built. Then once all those billions of dollars are sunk into the building of this shameful wall......there will be no money for mass deportations...You see this is why the government is building this wall... We all know that it will not serve the purpose for which it is built....They didn't even build a levy that could protect New Orleans..... the illegals crossing are just as unpredictable.....Build the fence so they will be able to say later well we don't have the money now for deportations.......Also you will see discounts on ladders on the other side of the border. You just need a ladder to safely scale the wall without a scratch.

I don't think the fence needs to cost 1.2 billion dollars a mile, I think they could beat that by 60% easy and still get it done right....have the border states build it themselves, give em money when the work is done and checked, call out about 1,000 different companies to have them put together plans etc. Break out the yellow pages...where there's a will, there's a way, where there's no will, there's no way...building this fence really won't be rocket science, it just needs to get done....but just watch, they'll figure out some way to drag their feet on this...

How much does the wall cost?
How many Border Patrol Agents can we train and hire with the money spent on the wall? How many more jobs will be available?

It is a waste of money, because it is election time and Republicans are trying to appeal to their racist voters. But either it's never going to be built, or there will be another controversy about how much time and MONEY $$$$$ is being used, and the illegals are still going to be crossing the border.

It's not a waste it is a good start!
illegal aliens cost the taxpayers $90 Billion dollars annually.
assuming that we have about 11 million immigrants in the U.S., the net cost or the total cost of services and benefits provided to them, education, welfare, general social services would be about $90 billion a year, and they would pay very little in taxes.

its not a WASTE of money. This should slow down the flow of illegals crossing the border. Hopefully it proves itself effective.

I cannot think of any reasons. And most of your following can't come up with a decent answer either. Just like you anti-Americans. Never can come up with a decent thought of your own.

Well I am very neutral on this immigration issue, but the wall? oh please, it is such an insane scheme. Only ignorance can make people believe that a wall will stop illegal immigration.
