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.

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!
