Outrageous CRS Estimates of Fence Cost Being Set in Stone


We do have a sense of the what it would cost to build a barrier that would cover substantial segments of the border and you're talking about something on the order of a $20 billion initial investment and that would have very high maintenance costs associated with maintenance, maybe as much as an additional $5 billion per year.
