I liked this part the best.

“The Bloomberg article is wrong,” a senior administration official told The Daily Caller. “The 1.7 miles are part of a 14-mile project specific to the San Diego Sector at a cost of $131 million (FY18 dollars). There are currently over 120 miles of new or replacement wall being constructed, and to say only 1.7 miles is completely false and misleading.”
The official also claimed that all wall construction projects are currently on pace when compared to the timelines of other government construction projects. Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kevin McAleenan said during a Fox News interview in April that the administration is actually moving “aggressively” on wall construction.
“So normally for a federal project of this scope, from the time you get funded to starting, it’s over two years,” McAleenan said. “We’ve already built the [fiscal year] 2017 funding in less than two years. That shows how aggressively we’re moving out on this.”
The Bloomberg article’s headline, “U.S. federal wall funding of US$1.57B yields 1.7 miles of fence,” suggests that it cost nearly $2 billion to build under 2 miles of fence. That is not accurate, and the article itself makes clear that the funding number merely refers to what Congress appropriated for a number of projects last year.
According to a public release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the $1.375 billion appropriated in 2018 will be used to build approximately 80 miles of “updated and new” border wall.
The 14-mile San Diego project commenced in February 2019 and is on pace to be completed in early 2020.
The same chunk of funding will also go toward various other construction projects. Construction “activities” have started for 13 miles of new border wall in the Rio Grande Valley. Contracts have been awarded for the construction of 41 miles of new wall in San Diego and Calexico, California, and Yuma, Arizona, and the construction is expected to be completed in late 2020.
President Trump will win reelection. To think otherwise only serves to set yourselves up for more reeing.
EDIT: Neg repping me will not help either. Vanster.
You know something is wrong when it is hard to find actual facts in the media
Trump Admin Pushes Back On Report Claiming Theyve Built Less Than 2 Miles Of Wall | The Daily Caller
+14-mile San Diego project
+“activities” have started for 13 miles of new border wall in the Rio Grande Valley
41 miles of new wall in San Diego and Calexico, California, and Yuma, Arizona,
The total population in Mexico was estimated at 125.3 million people in 2018, according to the latest census figures.
Since January 2017, approximately 255 miles of new and updated border barriers have been funded through the traditional appropriations process and via Treasury Forfeiture Funding, of which 20 miles have been completed to date
I actually appreciate the feedback on this topic.....it is very much needed
“The 1.7 miles are part of a 14-mile project specific to the San Diego Sector at a cost of $131 million (FY18 dollars)."
So it isn't 1.7 miles at nearly a billion per mile.....
it is closer to 14 miles at 130 Million in this section (for new or replacement)
So almost 10 million per mile.....
With 1,954 miles of border to cover
@ 10 Million a Mile
1,954 miles x 10 Million = 20 Trillion
I mean JFC this isn't making me feel that much better.
People were mad at the old 20 Billion dollar price tag.
We looking at a current 1000x over run
+ +
14 + 13 + 41 = 68 miles to be completed by 2020 (best case)
68 Miles/1,954 Miles = 3% of border protected in 2 more years
Saying it only took 2 years to do this, instead of 4 years of talking about it, it will only take 29 TIMES this to get the rest of the job done.......or say 60 more years along this current (and to them best case) trajectory.
I realize there are sections they can't wall.......not all of it needs to be done.
@ our current additional 2 Million people a year saturation rate we are looking at we will have 120 Million more illegals to deal with by the time this is finished up. Or another 50% change in our current demographics to contend with.
That is JUST the entire current population of Mexico atm.
Border apprehensions to surpass last 13 year totals in 122 days, DHS heightens funding plea
bros we fucked.......that's all I'm getting at.
I'm not even trying to fault Trump for it......He gave a good shot. I don't think our country is salvageable doing things the way they are currently being done.
But even he appears to be looking at a Plan B escape for him and his family......and I'm not sure I can blame him too much for that.

not all of us are gonna make it........
so maybe just a chosen few shall remain?
Either way I'm just saying we should probably think about doing the same thing and SOON
What exactly that means IDK and as time goes on I'm not even sure I really care
ughhhhh
No one ever accused the government of being efficient much less speedy.
I totally get your point Tele. As the illegals pour through open borders this is what we get. At least it is something.
I am actually kind of curious to see how far things have to go before Americans react. and they will.. at some point.. react.
Look at worst we are what 10-12 years away? Not from climate change
It will be when all these kids in school grow up after being told their entire existence they are white and therefore evil.
That one is going to be fun to watch
and I mean how many kids rebel against their upbringing?
