I totally agree that a wall + manpower can significantly reduce it, it's just not worth the immense cost. There are cheap/free policies that will significantly reduce it and benefit the economy.

I think if we divert the funds we spend on Iraq to keep our troops there and give them spending money the wall is free at that point.

you naively agree with the headlines that it's Trump's wall when it was built in the 1990s and the Obama administration approved the replacement.

Biden Administration Spent $2 billion 'not to build' Border Wall, Republicans say

President Joe Biden's administration has spent roughly $2 billion to pay for military contractors tasked with guarding unused materials after the Democrat put a pause on construction of the border wall.

Biden's cohort shelled out roughly $3 million per day to "guard steel, concrete, and other materials in the desert," according to a report from the Senate’s Subcommittee on Government Operations and Border Management, of which Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford is the chairman. The $2 billion figure is roughly 20% of the $10 billion transferred to the Department of Defense by former President Donald Trump to build the border wall, a process that was halted by Biden on his first day in office.

"For years I have called out federal waste, but the Biden Administration is literally ‘going for broke’ with this nonsense. Our border patrol agents are doing their best to secure our border, but they need additional barriers, roads, and technology to help keep us safe. Instead, President Biden is paying professional construction contractors to babysit metal to the tune of $2 billion and counting, while at the same time we’ve seen a 20-year high number of migrants crossing our open border," Lankford said in a statement, adding that Biden is paying "not to build the border wall."

“It is absolutely absurd that Americans are paying contractors to guard metal gates that President Biden refuses to install because he wants to ‘study’ the wall,” he said. “Stubbornly refusing to spend money approved for the wall is not ‘executing’ the law. It’s ignoring the law and ignoring the very real national security concerns posed by illegal entry across our very open southern border."

Oops

It turns out ignoring bedrock environmental laws may not have been the best choice for a multibillion-dollar construction project. Photos show former President Donald Trump’s border wall in deep disrepair after summer monsoon rains literally blew floodgates off their hinges.

The damage took place near San Bernardino Ranch, a historic site that sits between Douglas, Arizona, and the San Bernardino Wildlife Refuge. Much of the West is suffering through a deep megadrought, but the monsoon rains that have swept across parts of the Southwest this summer have doused the southern half of Arizona with record-setting rains. Douglas has seen nearly double its average monsoon season rainfall so far, including a blast that came through on Monday and unleashed flooding on the Arizona-Sonora border. The National Weather Service data shows 2.15 inches (5.5 centimeters) of rain fell, which in turn funneled into washes and drove flooding.[\QUOTE]

Report: Joe Biden Builds ‘Wall’ Around His Delaware Beach House, Makes America Pay for It

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly shelled out $456,548 to a construction company in Delaware to install a fence around President Biden’s Delaware beach house, according to newly-released records.

Joe and Jill Biden's summer house, in Rehoboth, Delaware, is currently having a fence built around it at a cost of almost $500,000


A federal contract, reported by the local Cape Gazette on Thursday and by the New York Post on Friday, shows that DHS awarded $456,548 to the recipient, Turnstone Holdings, LLC, according to USA Spending, a website that tracks federal spending.

The description of the contract reads, “PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF SECURITY FENCING AT 32 FARVIEW, REHOBOTH DELAWARE.”

Also on Friday, White House press secretary called former President Donald Trump’s wall project on the southern U.S. border “feckless,” noting that it cost “billions of dollars for taxpayers.” She struggled to explain why Biden had not visited the border since the 2008 presidential campaign, 13 years ago, on a road trip in which he simply “drove through.”

Let me speak for the leftists on the board - nothing to see here. He has a right to build a fence, a wall or a border. He wants to protect his property.

I wonder if he is pocketing his checks. Ok, dumb question.

AOC Slams Biden And Demands he 'takes responsibility and reverses' border wall construction - as his administration u-turns AGAIN and starts deporting thousands of Venezuelans to combat migrant surge​

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shamed Biden and urged him to 'reverse course' and after he waived 26 federal laws to start constructing a new 'physical barrier' that was started under Donald Trump.

In a statement on Thursday night, the native New Yorker said: 'The Biden administration was not obligated to expand border wall construction — and it was certainly not obligated to waive several environmental laws to expedite construction.

'The president must take responsibility for this decision and reverse course.'

Naw. That’s different.


Biden is building a Wall for righteous reasons. Trump was building it for racist reasons.

Same rule applies to Obama and the cages. When lefties thought Trump built the cages, he was a tyrannical racist. When they found out Obama built the cages, they argued Obama must have had good reason to do so.
