    Exactly. But knows We the People give a crap about a wall, we want one nd he's doing what we voted him in to do. Isn't that how this works? Geez.



    The outrage over family separation obviously fake and selective, present company included.

    Obama's set deportation records separating families.....and you all deafened us with your silence, Leanne. Your 'loud' these days is disingenuous, political, and fake.



    The truth is obvious, Leanne. So is your fake and selective outrage. And the wall was We the People's pet project and was pre-Trump.


    No matter what I say, you will call it fake or untrue. So be it. If that is what you believe I can't do anything to change it because I have tried.

    It was central to his campaign. It was also very important to his predecessor.

    The Walls save money. It does not cost money.

    Illegal Immigration costs us 250 billion dollars a years.
    The entire wall if we were just starting it today would be $25 billion maximum
    So only a reduction of 10% is required to have a one year payback upon completion. Then it would save us 20 billion a year every year thereafter with a 5 billion maintenance improvement budget.

    Can it lower illegal immigration by 10%. It already has done more where it has been built.
    It is very difficult to get over so it is providing up to a 90% reduction where it has built but they can still go around it so the 90% is not realized in the total illegal immigration number. Tunnels are mostly for drugs. They do not waste the expense to shuttle people through and make them easily detectable.

    So the wall is actually a profitable venture.

    The defense budget is the reason for government. Mutual defense is why people group together.

    You wet dream of government being for social spending is a 120 year old money grab for losers.

    Even in the 1930's during FDR's depression men would travel 100s of miles for work.
    Now you want to pay them more to stay home than to go to work.

    The illegal immigrants are getting through this wall!

    Smuggling gangs in Mexico are reportedly using power tools to cut large holes in walls at the southern US-Mexico border, according to a new report from The Washington Post.
    The steel-and-concrete portions of the walls, which President Donald Trump has touted as the solution to the flow of undocumented immigrants coming across the US-Mexico border, can be sawed apart with at least one commercially available cordless tool that retails for less than $100, according to the Post, which cites US border officials with knowledge of the damage.
    In addition to cutting through the walls, officials told the Post that smugglers have also repeatedly scaled and climbed over the walls with makeshift ladders, particularly in areas near San Diego.

    The wall is a waste of money.

    Wrong. It gives plenty of time for defections to pick up the damage and even a gas saw with the largest blade cannot cut deep enough to go through the pipes. A 16 inch blade can only cut to a depth of about 5" and they are too heavy to hold up in a horizontal position. Also your Democrats sources know nothing about something that I do know far too much about.

    Walls were never made to stop someone. They are made to slow down so you can detect and act.

    I call total BS on your sources.

    I understand that a girl might buy what these media fems, that never held a tool tell you.

    Exactly what I thought you would say.

    It is a hundred percent true. Ask any guy here that has tried to use a reciprocating saw to even cut a low alloy galvanized fence post what he thinks about using one to cut through the new border wall.
    They will all laugh at you.

    The new wall is rigged with detection sensors and this job would have taken about 24 hours with portable equipment.

    The test they also refer to was a prototype and actually not the final version.

    I remember when Obama claimed to have secured the border. He tried to make fun of some by saying that now they want a moat with alligators in the moat.

    I was okay with that idea too. Add some snakes, piranhas, bull sharks...
