The issue of the border wall with Mexico was born in controversy, and will remain a controversial topic even after it has been built. Critics will point to its costs as excessive, and the wall itself as a waste of money. President Trump, on the other hand, insists that it is necessary to securing our borders and that it will be paid for by Mexico. Although the precise mechanism for securing funding from the Mexicans has not been finalized, Mr. Trump continues to insist that its cost to Americans will essentially be zero.
Yet even if we did need to bear the cost of this structure, it would be far from one of our more costly projects. Members of both sides of the aisle have backed programs far more costly than the proposed border wall, and which have been of dubious value. In fact, some programs and projects have consumed enormous sums of money while turning out to be utter failures.
None of this would suggest or excuse pursuing projects of questionable value regardless how minimal the cost might be. That’s not the point. What is the point is that for all the liberal angst over this wall, cost is one area where their argument is the weakest. More on page two.
True story look at the resources they suck down once they are here. Go back to their own countries and rebuild.
This is why I don’t mind Americans funding the wall. It is a win, win for America in retrospect to the cost of illegal immigration.
Check and balances… Safety of my family is my priority! Canada just had a terrorist attack … A Muslim mosque was attacked Sunnis vs Shias. Muslims fighting each other. Do we need this and have innocent people caught in the cross fire. Seriously, we have been warned from Germany, Australia, Italy, France and the list goes! Here in the US there are areas that are No Go zone and unless you are a Muslim you can’t enter, it’s a training camp and those that try to escape are murdered by their own. Also there is an organization called “Dare to love a Muslim” it helps them escape persecution/death because they leave that religion.
I think build two walls and fill the middle with hungary lion, tigers and bears! OH MY!
Wonderful ….. now tell muslim men that
The cost is most likely one thousand’s of what Tax payers spend a year on Welfare, Health care, Schools, drug enforcement, jailing Criminals every year in this Country.
Love it! 😉
I think we spend more on the illegal aliens being here then what we would spend on the wall
The law remains, it is just NOT enforced.
Exactly!!!!!
