Gov. Greg Abbott’s border wall will take around 30 years and $20 billion to build​

Elect Trump and it'll be done in a few years.

He had a chance,,,,,even took money from the military when (surprise) Mexico did not pay, and did not deliver, so I'd say if you want a wall, Trump ain't the guy.

And he did very well.

Just think what Trump could have done if he had a Congress supporting his efforts.

So that means Texas will be sucking at the federal teat and using federal tax funds. And the results will be a waste of taxpayer funds and higher taxes.

Build The Wall!
Lock Her Up!
Drain The Swamp!
Repeal And Replace!

Give it up. Trump won't do diddly-squat.
 
He promised a wall would be built and Mexico would pay for it. As usual, this was a blatant lie.
shrug...

He did well with what he had to work with.

As I said, think of what he could have done with a Congress supporting him.
 
POTUS Biden doesn’t remember if he watched a replay of the debate and TX Gov. Abbott doesn’t remember when Trump pledged to build a Beautiful Wall paid for by Mexico.

A journey back in time on Trump-Speak on the Great Trump Wall:


Ah, the moment when an exasperated Trump Supporter finds out Mexicans know how to use Ladders:
 
4.566 billion was actually approved by Congress.

He didn’t last time.

Please figure it out, Trump lies. Nothing he has promised you folks does he plan, or care, to deliver on. He thinks is is literally funny to cheat people. What makes you different?

That is why I paint an equivalency between Trump supporters and those standing around a Three Card Monty table being taken in by its grifting operator.
 
And the $20 billion is a low ball estimate.
About 50 miles of new wall was built under Trump.
Some sections of it cost roughly $20 million per mile.

458 miles of new wall was built under Trump. You do not get to subtract the inferior old fencing that much of the new wall replaced.
 
458 miles of wall is quite a bit more then diddly squat. How about some intellectual honesty?
Only about 50 miles of that was NEW wall.
The rest was repairs on existing wall sections and secondary walls around border entry points.

The 452 miles of border wall that have been constructed are only a fraction of the 1,954 miles of U.S.-Mexico border. And only a small portion of the 452 miles — about 40 miles as of Dec. 18, according to a Customs and Border Protection report published by nonpartisan Factcheck.org — is newly constructed wall where none previously existed.

Repairs on existing wall sections happen with every administration.
The fact is Trump spent billions of tax monies, a large section of it pulled for the DOD budget, on a 3rd century technology

The point is you are still attempting to subtract old inferior wall from 458 miles of new wall as if only 50 or so miles of wall was completed. It's a desperate debate tactic.

And it will still be scaled/breached in seconds, but Trumps political donors will get $30 billion.

It's the truth, only 50 miles on new wall was built at a cost of about $20 million per mile.
Many argue the money would have been better spent on more Border Patrol agents and equipment and electronic security measures. Which would have cost less and implemented much faster. All of which was in the Border Bill recently rejected by House Republicans.
 
He had both chambers for two years.
Don’t you ever get tired of spamming?
Republicans may have been in control of both chambers, but they didn't support Trump.

Hell, don't you remember what happened in the Senate? McCain?
