One of the many reasons that people who live along the border don’t think much of “Wall” as a solution for anything. Badtux, we both know who would be needed to build the thing – undocumented workers, like every other border construction project.

The thing is, Аня, he’s already got $1.3 billion from last year that he hasn’t spent, and was in line for another $1.6 billion in the bill McConnell got passed before Christmas. It has to be symbolic, because he hasn’t shown any interest in building anything. Of course he’s expecting a kickback from the contract, he’s a New York City real estate developer.

I wonder if anyone thinks that the “Wall” is less about border security and/or racism and is more about getting 5.7 billion dollars into the hands of Trumps cronies in the construction industry (out of which the President will take millions in kickbacks). After all, that was the sole purpose of the Infrastructure plan.

So the billions of dollars of border wall can be defeated by a $5 shovel. Yay.
