Overkill!

Trump’s troop deployment strung ‘lethal’ razor wire on the border. This city has had enough


What Garino saw when he arrived at the fence surprised him: row after row of razor wire had been strung on the fence so that it covered nearly the entire surface in parts. Photographs show as many of six separate coils of wire — typically made from steel and studded with hundreds of razor-like barbs — covering portions of the fence, lending it the appearance of a war zone or a high-security prison.



Garino said he was confused. Trump’s push was for a wall, which the town already has. So what was the point of the wire?

The town’s city council passed a resolution unanimously on Wednesday to formally condemn the wire, and demand that it be taken down over safety concerns.

Of course it is!  "Busy work" for Trump's troops.

How much taxpayer money went into all that wire?

William Speaks, a spokesman with the Department of Defense said that the military had installed more than 70 miles of concertina wire along the southern border, adding that it was working on an additional 160 miles. It said the military had spent $132 million so far supporting CBP. But estimates indicate that the cost of both deployments could tally about $1 billion by the end of the 2019 fiscal year.
