$20 billion might get you a wall that looks pretty big from downtown Laredo, stretching maybe a mile (maybe two) either side of the international bridge.

Schnorkles posted:Most importantly, and this is something to remember as these things start going to court, when the executive or government issues vague and/or unclear laws and/or orders, the jurist who is most likely to strike them down is a textualist. it's fine, they'll just nominate and confirm a justice like omarosa who has no jurist background, they'll just vote whatever republicans tell them to free of context or responsibility

Keep in mind that the swarm of contracting firms actually working to build the wall will be sucking every stray dollar out of every possible crevice so any of your reality-based calculations need to be multiplied by the huge graft factor.

Trump's EO on the pipeline, for instance, invites the company to reapply for the permit. That company currently has a $15b suit against the federal government.  That pipeline isn't going anywhere fast. Also the requiring it to be built with american materials may violate trade agreements.

the best part is that either the wall is way more expensive just to look good, which makes people angry, or the wall is ugly as gently caress and just makes the whole thing more pathetic

gregday posted:Or we could I don't know maybe make the green card process not take a thousand years and be a Kafka esque nightmare Border crossing isn't even about human migration anymore. In the past few years it's become almost all drug smuggling. America has a massive appetite for drugs and the cartels will provide. It's the capitalist way. The Trumpian Border Patrol will be all too happy to raise the drawbridge on THE WALL and let the cartels pass right on through, with a nice little kickback for themselves.

cams posted:this is why the 14 billion figure is inherently hilarious and reveals how garbage it is as an actual proposal. there is no amount of money that could build a wall that would actually create the desired effect, and a budget of 14 billion will get you one hilariously embarrassing monument to donald trump and the party of fiscal responsibility he probably views wasting a $50 billion on the tiny segment that'll get built as a good trade to gut social security/medicare.

The wall is a complete absurdity, and we live in a country of people too poorly educated to realize that. However by the same token it's hilariously easy to sell poo poo to them, so think of your own Pet Rock idea and make bank. See you on the barricades comrades
