Subject: Re: Why the border bill will fail
Oh, and can you tell me how much money is there for an actual wall?
I hope not much because it is a stupid idea and of little value in controlling the border. Yes, it made a lot of money for Republican crony contractors...otherwise, pretty worthless. The same amount of money could be used much better with border patrol and other more effective innovations. We have a wall because Trump said 'wall' at a rally and got a big cheer. That's it.
I was just at the border a little east of Douglas, AZ at the San Bernadino Wildlife Refuge. I walked to the wall and there was a heavy metal door that was WIDE open. I have photos. What's the point? All along the wall there are sensors and cameras and those are probably much more effective than the expensive and destructive wall itself.
