Caren,

The threats have likely already damaged the American economy, apart from making lives miserable -- which seems the very idea.

What a gigantic waste of money and misplaced resources. Border Czar, Tom Homan's, estimate of 86 billion dollars to do the job, translates to $700 for the average American household. He should visit all and ask each to write a check.

The 86 billion is the cost before the cost to the wider economy. Let's not mention the diplomacy with our neighbors.

Best.
