Topic: 26 Billion dollars for the Trump wall is totally doable, don't listen to fake news lies about cost.

We spent 500 Billion dollars building some interstate highways a while back, remember? Cost breakdown of highways we built ended up around $10m per mile. US-Mexico border is under 2000 miles so it'd be around $19B if we were building a highway megastructure along the border. Of course the wall needs to pretty tall, so add a few more billion dollars and your costs are sitting right where the Department of Homeland Security estimates.
Democrats are flat out lying about border wall cost. Build the damn wall.

I love how the topic assumes the big problem is fake news about the cost.

I think it would be more cost-effective to set up an invisible fence and make all Mexicans wear those dog collars that go with invisible fences

Actually this is on the news currently - Look at date of article
Construction begins on San Diego border wall with ‘anti-climbing plate’
Construction on a section of President Trump's planned wall along the U.S.-Mexico border began Friday in San Diego, according to local media.
Local news affiliate Fox 8 reported that a section of border wall that features an "anti-climbing plate" will replace about 14 miles of improvised border fencing created from scrap metal.
The section of the wall will begin about a half-mile from the Pacific Ocean, Fox reports, and will stand between 18-30 feet tall.
The construction of this new substantial wall will improve overall border security, the safety and effectiveness of Border Patrol agents, the safety of the public, and will enhance the atmosphere for business and commerce in the area, Scott said.
Of course boats can sail past the Ocean part of that wall without much trouble as they do so often around my beach and land safely and depart customers bearing gifts which often include bails of Marijuana

If he waited several months all it will take to swing the 2020 election would be The Wall being started, with a few hundred feet to show off.
