From the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf Of Mexico. Sea to sea.
Here is an article by Fox News that pegs the cost at $25 billion. It could cost anywhere from $150 million to $750 million a year for maintenance.
All of this would do nothing to address the problem. The problem is the ports of entry. Illegal immigrants come into the country legally, then don't go home. The drugs are being smuggled in through the ports of entry, such as the huge bust just the other day.
There is so many better places we can spend billions of dollars.
