I keep hearing that most of the wall building is replacing old border wall. Are they actually building a mile of wall a day that is where there was no wall before?

Man, and only $19,000,000 per mile. That's a bargain. LOL.

It would be interesting to follow the money, stockholder, board member, political donor trail on those contracts.

Probably just daily travel expenditures for the workers. They're being boarded at a Trump Hotel.

It could have been built a lot cheaper in 2016 when 100,000,000 demoncrats crapped a brick.

Well, it's not being built with bricks, though. It's a massive structure of concrete and steel, protected by a mote with snakes and alligators, embedded with spikes, paid for by mexicans, completed months ago.

You forgot the sharks with laser beams.

I didn't even know about those. Are you pulling my leg, Snattle? Can sharks really survive in "FRESH" muddy waters? I never heard of such. If you're making a joke, I don't really think that's appropriate. We should stick to the facts.

Part of the cost is the legal expenses being figured in. I read years ago that any time the government does anything, they add the cost to fight lawsuits, protest, etc into it.

Lawyers, yes. One big problem is seizing properties through Public Domain. There are plenty of crusty old ranchers in south Texas that would rather put up with wetbacks than have their land seized for nickles on the dollar. So Lawyers. The idea is to expedite the process by denying these people their right to a fair hearing.
