    What extra funding? The US just completed Afghanistan mission that cost billions. Now they only need to deploy to the southern border… it will be cheaper. Plus if it really needs extra funds… if there is anything the US always had funding for is the military. So yes as a non Americans I see them turning the border into a Korean style border. Possibly declaring a zone around the border as a special territory to make an end run around posse comitatus.

      That war was funded with debt, that the next generation will still be paying down. It’s not like there was a magic firehouse of money that just needs to be redirected.
