You may be on to something.  Imagine if there existed a payment plan that gave certain perks to certain levels of donations.  For 50 bucks you get your name on a brick. For 500 bucks you get a web address for a webcam that monitors a section of the wall. 5000 is a bigger section of wall/more webcam addresses.  For 50,000 you get direct access to a team of ICE members that will rely on your Intel to coordinate a defense at a section of wall that looks to be needing more security.  Shit.... for $500,000 you get your own watch tower that you're allowed to man and station for a few weekends or weeks a years... and that watch tower comes with a rifle and an order to defend your Country!
