America could
Hire border guards
To sit in running SUVs
Every single mile across the southern border
Making $40 an hour
24 hours a day
Every day for the next 30 years

And it would still be cheaper than the border wall

1. So instead of a wall

they would need a road? Interstate 2?

2. Um, you mean like these peeps?

The BORDER PATROL already exists.

3. Not to mention we already have that now

The CBP budget exploded during the Shrub administration. I've flown at low altitude over the Texas-Mexico border and you will literally see CBP SUVs parked one after another within sight of each other all along the way.

4. I wonder if they realize in their support

for Trump, it means they are obsoleting themselves. If not then then border wall is ineffective and why build it?

6. I don't see that happening and I don't think they do either

They already got Trump to pretend his "see-through" wall is the same one he first proposed which means CBP patrols will still be as plentiful as ever. Meanwhile there will have to be another army of maintenance workers and other more highly paid technology employees. So inevitably we'll have another explosion of CBP workers soaking the taxpayer for something that has never worked and never will.

5. Then Cheeto can't give a $ billion contract to his Russian buddy

The whole point of this is to give the Russian guy who owns the steel mill a huge contract.
Get it? Paying Americans doesn't get him points with Pootie.
