So about the wall.
Bear in mind, the ‘wall money’ is less than 1⁄10 of what the total border security budget is for each year. Total budget is around $44.5 BILLION.
So, here is how I would handle border security …
Now pay attention:
I would agree to the $1.5 billion committed by Congress.
Which works out to $750,000 per mile of the southern border.
Then I would build 2000 ‘tiny homes’ (1 per mile) at $35,000 ea which is $70 million out of the budget, leaving $1.43 BILLION.
I would then hire 4000 Security guards (2 for ea mile at $80,000 ea to monitor ea mile, at $320 million.
Leaving $1.11 BILLION.
Then I would take the $1.11 BILLION and spend it hiring another 4000 drone pilots to pilot 2000 infrared and camera drones (1 per mile).
$320 million for pilots $4 million for $2000 high tech drones totaling $324 million.
Leaving $786 million or $393,000 additional to spend for EACH MILE!!!
That’s right, after hiring over 8000 HUMANS and building 2000 homes and 4000 drones there is STILL …
$383,000 to spend PER MILE on more security!!!
They could hire another 4000 people to monitor the border.
12,000 JOBS!
Trump wants over $5 billion just for a fucking wall that won’t stop anyone.
How hard is this shit?
