Facts regarding the failed border wall.

San Francisco CA

Description

Trump diverted 11 billion dollars from our military budget to fund his border wall. During his 4 year term he completed less than 300 miles of wall. Our southern border is nearly 2000 miles long. Given a second term Trump would have never been able to finish the wall. If Trump had succeeded in building the wall the cost at the rate that it was getting built to complete is would have been $73,326,000,000.00. In reality the cost would have been dramatically more due to cost increases and inflation. At the pace he was going, given a second term Trump would have completed 600 miles of wall. Less than 1/3 of our southern border. This wall was an idiotic notion from the start. Any decent economist or businessperson could have told you that. In fact, business people and economists across the country DID tell us that. When you consider the fact that immigrants tunnel under the wall and climb over the wall with relative ease, the wall was barely even a deterrent. The wall barely even slowed immigrants down. Couple that with the fact that drug cartels build, own and operate the tunnels that get across the border, Trumps border wall made the cartels richer. Immigrants pay thousands of dollars each to use the tunnels. Trump literally funded the drug cartels. Now the failed wall rusts away into the desert as a symbol of all that Trump stood for and all of his failures as president. With logic like Donald Trumps, it is no wonder why he has filed for bankruptcy 5 times and does not have the funds to pay his taxes or loans to Russian oligarchs or Chinese banks.
