Safari Porsche buffer image. The politics aren’t that polarizing in here, just asking questions.
I can’t seem to find a definitive answer on this as everything I’m pulling up is from the election 2 years ago but here it is:
Does Trump/ any in the government have an actual plan for the wall?
Hypothetically, they get the 5 billion budget approved and where do they go from there? Do they just start building a wall wherever they feel like it?
Is part of that 5 bil to get it in to the planning phases?
I keep just hearing “BUILD A WALL” or “NO WALL” and am struggling to find non sensationalist articles about it.

As far as I can tell, no one in this administration has any sort of plan except for racism.

I think they’ve ignored the easy answer of building a moat and using the dirt from the moat as a way to build a tall hill that’s almost a wall.

They get the money then get held up in the courts for decades due to having to take private land to build the wall.
Either way it’s stupid....

They have built some wall...er...”metal slat” samples. Think of the problem of actually building it kind of like an electric vehicle startup. Lots of promises, a slick prototype and not much else.

$5 billion wouldn’t even cover the em inent domain “purchases”

I forgot about that, I went on their site to see where the land was and this is what you get for “download map”. At least we apparently sent Smashmouth across

It seems quite unfeasible.

None of the above I think. They prototyped a number of designs, but I don’t think they ever picked a winner, if they did, it’s irrelevant since Trump is talking about a slatted barrier instead now (numerous variations of this design already exist, though I don’t believe any are as big as what he’s proposing). There was supposed to be a study regarding the effectiveness of a wall, and other planning aspects, but the administration is refusing to release the results of that. $5B is nowhere near enough to do the whole thing, so they would obviously need to prioritize.

Lets take a look back. There are still emine nt domain legal battles from when W, was expanding the fencing in 2006.
As for the curent wall, f rom Fox news, so not the lib media
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heres-what-5-billion-in-border-wall-funding-would-buy
5 billion gets up 215 miles of “ wall system”
Estimates are the total wall as 25 billion, To Build .

Why would we need to approve a budget for something Mexico is paying for? What’d I miss?
There’s no way Trump bullshitted someone on a construction project.

We could call the moat “ Rio Bravo"

I’ve seen those, but I have A LOT of designs for what it could be. Certainly seems like if I were to say “I’m going to build a flying electric cars! Give me money. It will work ” with absolutely no business plan or proof of concept. Ok maybe something like this to show them :

Wow - we can end the shutdown now! Just build the wall and send Mexico a bill! Net 30 day terms. This can’t possibly go wrong!

Thanks! That at least gets me some numbers on what they are planning to do with all the money they want . I know the 5bil is basically getting a start and was never to cover the entire cost which was mostly why I was wondering what they planned to start with

Of course. They have the best plans for the most beautiful wall which will be metal slats and all transparent like glass and also will stop bullets and also will be 30 feet high and also electrified and Mexico or Guatemala or Honduras is gonna pay for it.
Yes, all of these things. At once.
How dare you point out that none of them are compatible. You’re just a commie democrat who hates America and is a

I’m not going to dispute that but I wonder what a ballpark figure for that would actually be…

We need to approve accepting the check from Mexico? I don’t know. I never saw that (Mexico paying for the wall) going through but now that he is going through with shutting down the government for a fraction of what he actual wants and getting us to pay for it I want to know details.

I had a friend who grew up in Nogale s Arizona. As she would say “only someone stupid would try and bring drugs across the border. The professionals tunnel.” So unless t he wall goes 50 feet down. It will do shit to stop drugs.

They are going to do whatever it takes no matter what. Build a wall 50 feet down? They will dig 60 feet. Those tunnels are so elaborate it’s not like they don’t have the technical ability and money to go under it.

So we have to spend $5 billion in order to accept a check to py for the wall? I thought the Nigerian was out of office?

a) they dug a mile long tunnel to bust that guy out jail. So you build a wall, then what? make a 2 mile no mans land?
b) a sandwich baggie can contain 400k worth of fentanyl. At this point drugs are unstoppable. The best solution is to cut down the driver and offer real treatment options.

Not that it matters. The biggest fentanyl producers are in the US, and they used hospitals to dispense their goods.
