    We already pay for it. Shouldn’t we received what we already paid for? The border patrol budget is 17.7 billion dollars.

      They’re getting exactly what they paid for, and are demanding more. In my experience, getting more, costs more.

        I don’t think we are getting what we are paying for. That’s a lot of money and immigrants are flowing in.

          Great, find anyone showing a waste of money in border security. Other than the fraudulent build a wall fund.

          And even if you did find it, that still wouldn’t pay for the increases that the right is crying about, and not putting up any way to pay for.

            You think 18 billion isn’t enough to secure a border? To me it’s obvious the money isn’t well spent. If we need more money, take it from the social welfare programs. Border security is important to the success of the country.
