Seems that the government is struggling to get that damn border wall up and in place. Reuters is reporting that for right now, the virtual wall that was planned for the U.S./Mexican border is on hold and the physical wall they are building will need $400 million dollars to complete. But at least we have our priorities in order:
The highest priority is to put out a system of physical fences and barriers that will keep people and vehicles from illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, Jayson Ahern, U.S. Customs and Border Protection deputy commissioner, told the Journal.
My own priorities are not quite so neatly in order, and I tend to feel a bit outraged that my taxes are going towards a virtual mess that is destroying the environment, harming human beings, and not to mention accomplishing next to nothing–I wonder when we can all agree to take legitimate steps towards solving the broken immigration system?
