Funny, they said the same thing about Israel's plan to build a wall. Not like people saying the wall is pointless and a waste of money have an agenda to push or anything, right?

Also, the wall is there to save money, it's basically gonna pay for itself when you take into account just how many billions illegal aliens cost the US taxpayer year in, year out.

What's funny about it? The border between US and Mexico is huge. It's going to cost a fortune and like I said since we are $21T in debt. Paying that debt down is a higher priority than building some crazy wall. You don't need to worry about other people's agenda - just stick to facts and it's a non-issue.

I ask you to quantify those billions per year saved but I doubt you could. I think you pulled that straight out of your ass.

Edit: not Great Wall of China huge which is way longer than I thought but still fucking huge.

And the most expedient way to reduce said debt is to remove the infestation of illegal parasites robbing hard working Americans of their money.

Illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers about $113 billion a year at the federal, state and local level. Source.

This is what Trump's border wall could cost:

The actual cost for the rest of the border wall (roughly 1,300 miles) could be as high as $16 million per mile, with a total price tag of $15 billion to $25 billion. Rosenblum said the $15 billion low-end estimate is "probably an underestimate," because the parts that have yet to be fenced are the most difficult — the most dense and arid. At $16 million per mile and with 1,300 miles to secure, the estimated cost would be $12 billion, and the price of private land acquisitions and maintenance of fencing could push that total cost higher.

Oy vey, looks like the shill got owned.
