and just repaired other existing wall. Total cost was over 4 billion.
If we really knew how much taxpayer money was wasted by this administration we would have a great reason for voters to go Democrat.

(13,436 posts)If I recall correctly, the fake bone spur guy was having sharp pointed spikes put on top of the wall to shred the wall climber's flesh, and if that isn't enough pain infliction, the pointy spikes were going to be painted black so the heat of the desert sun would burn the wall climber's hands.
At this camera angle, and with no audio, we can't see the blood-covered spikes or hear the agonizing screams, but I guess the immigrants all got scared, came down the ladder and went home.

(25,816 posts)just wire fences, etc before. Not walls. So only 53 miles of new wall. They did it near me and
f'd up the land doing so. I want it down. it's a scar on the land, it's easily overcome and not
effective, it's a problem for wildlife, it's racist, it was a huge waste of taxpayer money that I'm
sure a large portion of which was graft and it was built only to appeal to the racism of trump's base.
