tried to fence off the border. 670 miles of fencing cost the government 2.4 billion dollars (Kessler). Trump is not talking about fencing the border off, he is talking about walling it off.

Israel’s wall was mostly electric fence with a small amount of concrete wall. Based on Israel’s wall, a wall on the border with Mexico would cost
