PBS circa 2009: Obama's Border Fence (brushing up on PBO's 1,300 mile virtual fence).
Obama's Border Fence (video)
NOW travels to Texas to meet border families who fear losing their property, their safety, and their way of life. Many question if the U.S.-Mexico border fence can keep people from sneaking in at all. An even greater worry may be the virtual fence the Obama administration is planning for the remaining 1,300 miles of border, at an estimated cost of nearly $7 billion. PBS

Congressional estimates today put tRump's wall at $25B - 75B, without even factoring in how his wall will destroy animal migration and habitat.
The RW'ers told me that PBO and Schumer wanted $45B during PBO's term for the same wall tRump wants, but now they're just fighting tRump.
Now I know. As I'd expected, they are uninformed.
