IIRC the 5 billion is for 200 miles of wall. The border is approximately 2000 miles long. It's going to be more like 50 and you know there will be overruns.
50+ billion buys a lot of far more surveilliance, interdiction and lastly, tightening up border crossings which is where the majority of the problem is - and a wall addresses that not at all.
It's just utter nonsense; it shows why DT is a bumbling, imbecilic idiot, who is barely beyond the stage of reading and writing grade-school English. The so-called wall will solve nothing, except, perhaps, an election victory in 2020. That is what all of this is about ultimately.
