WaPo: Build the wall? It could take at least 10 years, even with 10,000 workers
Even the more modest $5.7 billion in wall funding that Trump directly requested during a primetime Oval Office address Tuesday to address what he called “a growing humanitarian and security crisis” would take an army of 10,000 workers more than two years to build and yield only 230 miles of barrier, according to estimates.
And, according to The Post: “…even at 1,000 miles long, the steel-slatted border wall would still be too small to be a boon for U.S. steelmakers.”
