Wall/fencing

The Border Fence Act passed in 2006 set aside $1.4 billion but estimated the 25 year cost would be $50 billion. In addition to fencing the act also authorized the use of more vehicle barriers, checkpoints and lighting to curb illegal immigration, and the use of advanced technology such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles. Trumps proposal includes all of the above plus money for 2,700 new border guards, money for drug detection, money for humanitarian assistance, money for court and judges to help with the backlog of 800,000 cases. These are all the things that both parties want except for the wall/fencing.
