It would be worth the price! As would the cost of a 40,000 strong garrison. |

Charly!

Well:
it takes an asian to the the math for your question.
A few cousins of mine to gather his team to build it.
A white guy to pay the mexicans to do it
and some hindu basterd to somehow make money out of it.

Don't get me wrong..I'm all for keeping out illegals, but being of German descent, I'd prefer no more walls being built...I mean, it took a long time to bring down the wall that separated my family's country of origin...
But, damn...*something* needs to be done...we're falling further into the hole as we speak... |

I'm guessing 1/1,000 of what they spent already and since you said mexico u.s border i'm guessing if you paid mexicans it would be like 1/100,000,000 of the cost they spent :-) |

According to the latest estimates, it would cost about $150 billion to build a wall that was the same as the current high tech 28 mile fence. Then it would cost about $20 billion per year to man and maintain the wall.
After that is completed and manned, illegals will just come in by sea as they do from many other countries such as Asia and the Caribbean islands but much easier since Mexico only a few miles by sea.
Or congress could pass a bill similar to the 1986 immigration reform except this time pass strict sanctions against employers that hire illegals (removed from the bill in 1986 due to opposition from the Chamber of Commence, farm lobby, other businesses, and the republican party) for very little money |
