*Megaphone in hand* He's lying to you! You're being dupped! He's full of shit! *puts down megaphone* Anyways, in 2007 the congressional Research Office looked at the cost to build a 700 mile "wall" (read: double fence) like the one Trump wants. $49 billion to build and maintain. In 2015 dollars, that's 56 billion dollars. Oh, and remember that it's $56 billion without factoring in the costs of the extra officers and equipment that would be needed to actually, you know, man that wall, or the costs of patrolling the lakes it would cross, or the added cost of building on the mountains it would go over. Oh, and maybe somone should point out that the Illegal Immigrant population in the U.S. has been largely the same since 2009. 11.3 million in 2009, 11.3 million in 2014. Trump is making a mountain out of a mole hill to scare people who don't know any better. |
