Not sure. Better to let them believe they are winning and embolden themselves, Look how much they are exposing themselves and taking themselves down every day.

It says in the article that 2billion is enough to build 205 miles of wall, that works out at 100 million per mile.That seems excessive.
Im wondering if trump is overstating how much he needs because he knows dems wont give him that much. instead he is getting the wall built for a much lower cost and can complete the entire wall on a lower budget?
I know government contracts usually are riddled with theft, incompetence and extortionate prices but 100 million per mile is a lot even for a government project.
If you gave that job to a local firm they could do the work for a fraction of that cost.
Is that what Trumps up to?

You raised some interesting questions, and I suspect you are correct about the estimates.
I was curious about the costs myself, and did a rough analysis over on The Great Awakening earlier today.

Have you got a link? i'd like to have a look at it.

Possibility. Ask for more when know your price is a lot less...Standard real estate tactic

That does seem VERY high! Unless they plan on having high tech turrets with automated machine guns mounted on that bitch!

Take the money and continue building the wall. By the time the 1.4 billion is spent the wall will already be completed by the military.

All or nothing. I'd rather see a shut down. They want this wall stopped so badly, it's telling what's at stake for people making their money off the illegal activities going on down there.

He should demand a 1/4 more now.

The Dimms dont want their income cut off at the Border - that lovely free flow of drugs, arms and women and children - does the MSM or even Fox ever ask the question of WHY do the Dimms oppose the wall? Fox just sticks to the mantra "its because Trump wants it and they hate Trump" this seems a very poor excuse for an explanation - how about being much more to the point and talking about who benefits from no Wall.

Agreed. Fake News has just one job. to spin the narrative and cover for the DS...So no you will never get those type of questions from them....they are simply the propaganda arm of the DS.
