Priorities Texan, by priorities

The way they contract the work out leaves no incentive to get it done on time. Source: my uncle who own a rd construction company in TX.

Is no one going to talking about what a wall will do ecologically to animals that migrate across that area? We have oceleots breeding 1/2
steveofthejungle
In the US for the first time in a long time now, and this'll fuck it up. Also *Ocelots. 2/2
Mrbrown512
Maybe they should wait and do it legally like everyone else
fuck123456789
lets take all the money from the border wall and put it into our D- Infrastructure
Zforce95
Probably the same way you can't insult your way to the Presidency.

As someone who lives in Austin, this is so true. Never ending construction.
EverythingsTheWorst
As another who lives in Austin, I back this up. The MoPac project is like 2 years over already. And 35...well that's just satan's anus.
smittywjmj
People keep moving here, that's why. Stop, go back to where you came from. Nothing's set up to support this much growth this fast.
ThisLooksLikeAPenis
As someone who travels i35 to and from work every day... please finish i35 first.
DemonicPossum
Don't a lot of illegal immigrants come over on planes? That wall better be tall af
scuber
35 Sucks between Dallas and Denton too

CAN ATTEST! I LIVE IN DOWNTOWN AUSTIN, AND IT SUCKS ASSSSS!
TacoFox
Don't forget how Texas had decided it was better to turn some roads into gravel roads because we lack the money to maintain our highways.
Iforgetmyusernameeasily
Prefabricated walls?
LLCoolBeans
But then we have to ship them across Texas' unfinished road system.

It's been 20 years and they haven't even finished Mopac!

Not exactly an argument for the wonders of the Federal government.
jcow1995
But people usually just come over via plane and overstay their visas. Right? How would a wall help?

It wouldn't, the wall helps for the millions of people who don't do that.
BathTubGinger
A wall high enough to prevent air traffic.....
Naiirita
Thats only about 30%. the other 70% comes from walking or driving.
Imhereforthelurking
Switch the numbers around, and you're on point.

Orr Waco to Fort Worth. Forever under construction

Too real. Hate driving to Austin.
SaudadeOfSunday
Finally some one said. Please for the love of God, add a third lane. Makes my weekends hell ....
mizcs
isn't most of the border basically a "natural wall" in that most people that try to cross it die before they make it?
Spikelf
Not really and the desert parts they install water fountains so people don't die trying to cross
FatForYou
I don't know about "most"
minabear
A good chunk of it is
RabbiShmuley
Yes, it's called the Rio Grande River.
Lurkenstine
that would be closer to a moat
ParticularlyMentallyInsane
There are times when you just need a bigger moat
grammarfairy
Not as much the Texas part, but everything between New Mexico and California for sure.

EnergyFiend
He wants to build a wall for the parts that do not already have fencing or natural barriers. So like 1/2 the total mileage. Still asinine.
ByThePowerofCommonSense
No one knows what goes on in his dyed head but he has stated he wants it across the full border
muaddweeb
Caves and tunneling.

Its going to be like the Berlin wall all over again...

I got an idea! We'll conscript illegal aliens to finish it , then charge Mexico for the labor!
SirChadwellHeath
Simpson's did it using the Ogdenvillites (except the payment bit) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_to_Homerica
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
Didn't Springfield do that to the Ogdenvillians?
sobermoose
Tax Mexico's imports? Lolol
peppergurl12
And then have the Mexicans pay us back in Alternative Pesos.
LordNoodles
Prison labor? We're at an all time high right? Keep em working so they're too tired to plot a reasonable escape, that's what an old man said
ChickenFingerFingers
And gas them if they don't build it, reich?
awkwardmoment
It was tired 4 years ago. Give the national socialism thing a rest.
Foxsayy
What?
awkwardmoment
The national-socialism schtick. It's not credible anymore. They used it on Romney who according to his enemies is the nicest guy in politics
Foxsayy
I'm not really sure what you're talking about… Maybe you could explain?
BrayerIncognito
You wish! Trump has already said the US tax payer is paying for the wall and that Mexico will pay the money back in other complicated ways.
JosAngelGONZO
In which the Mexican president responded that they're fine without the US help anymore and that they're are not going to pay.
deonizm
Immigrants paying immigrants to help immigrants stop immigrants from immigrating.

Nah, I think after a few thousand years you can be considered native.

Yo dawg, I heard you hated immigrants. So I got immigrants to pay other immigrants to help immigrants stop other immigrants from immigrating

Meme it up!

Sadly this is exactly what's going to happen. It's all contract work and I hope those workers will refuse to build it.

I've seen mere children do more for less in Ciudad Juárez. :(
wellembalmed
Can't wait for the backlash for roads and bridges going to shit with all federal funds building the wall.
Thereminista
And federal funds for throwing good money after bad when Trump wrecks the government machine. WE are the source of those federal funds.
DoctorMeoww
I'm sorry but how much do you think this wall is going to cost? Enough where we don't have money for anything else? lol
wellembalmed
We don't have money for anything else as is. Maybe if we had a strict flat percentage tax for everyone. Billionaires included.
DarthFutuza
Doesn't have to be if they use the military budget to do it (and don't expand that budget using other funding). I'd rather see it fail tho.
Ryebread91
We'll just drive on the side of the wall then!
wellembalmed
Trump presidency leads to hoverboard technology. Finally.
JustCallMeJazzHands
There's a $1 trillion infrastructure bill in the making, but all we know about it is the cost. That's typically a bad sign.
MalaRosh
Where we're going we don't need roads
dweadpiewitwobbits
Mad Max still needed roads.
neil137
a large portion has already been built
Mefi91
Greetings from Germany. We have knowledge in building a wall ;) We can help!
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
You have knowledge in lots of things Trump and his supporters would love.
TosokTheRodentHunter
lol whoever said Germans dont have a sense of humour, clearly has never encountered one
Sm9yCg
There are already lots of former east german specialists working in the southern region of the US of A.
ParticularlyMentallyInsane
If you're referring to the berlin wall, that was the Russians, not the Germans.
stardenker
But don't ask us if you're trying to build an airport.
Krzyjoe
Meh, yours fell down. I've heard the Chinese are pretty great at it though.
vanian
they only build shitty walls that those dam mongorians break down tho
Aardvarkius
I'm pretty sure Brandon the Builder trumped yours with his.
dinklebot2000
Texas is going to need to be a lot colder to build a 700 foot tall magical wall of ice.

Let's make this clear, we want a wall not an oven.

I do like me some fried burritos.

also don't let Hasselhoff get too close to the wall once it's finished
PsychopompGecko
I dunno. I wouldn't hassle the hoff over it.
ShinyMatador
He's been looking for freedom. And he got it.
RV49
Serious question here. What's the difference between the big wall/fence with barbed wire on top, and trump's wall?
ANotSoMomentaryTrip
Ima go with like 20ish or more feet of solid concrete
TacoFox

ilovemyboobs
Think Berlin Wall.
TheManyFacedDog
The Berlin Wall was across a single city, and it was the armed guards that secured it, not specifically the concrete.
RV49
The pictures I've seen show a pretty formidable wall and fence already. Maybe that's only for a short distance and the rest is chainlink?
ilovemyboobs
majority of the wall that is currently there is fence, and even nothing at all. Its a lot of land out in the middle of fucking no where.
RV49
Gotcha. Thanks.
Dmoney14
I-35 in North Fort Worth alone has been an on going project since before I was even born. I literally just turned 33 as of today!
comehomefransbrauder
35 in dfw; 45 in houston. under constant construction. CONSTANT!!
CoffeeTrampTossBitch
290 is pretty bad too. There's never not Bullshit going on on 290

Fuck that construction, it's half of my drive home in time but a tenth of the distance
