I wonder what will happen first: the wall being built or pantheon being released. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seems that there is a lot of misconception of what "Build the wall" really means and to who.

I think for most of us that have any kind of advanced degree (or clarity of thought) know that $5.7 billion is not going to be enough to build a wall from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. That's roughly 1900 miles. Currently there is about 700 miles of border fencing along the southern border spanning 4 states. Trump wants to build another 1000 miles of border "wall" with the remainder being natural obstacles and barriers (mountains, rivers, desert etc).

The $5.7b is to improve existing border security, hire more agents, more detention facilities, more technology and yes even a "little bit" more wall. What the $5.7b wont build is a barrier from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. That will likely cost $30-50 billion and would take YEARS to complete.
