    Don’t forget to extend the border into the gulf, thevatlantic and the pacific, unless you figure drug smuggles can’t pilot a boat...laughable.

    Extend it any which way but loose, so long as it gets good results for the safety and prosperity of US citizens.

    And that, my friend, is called a false choice. And a poor one at that.

    I didn't say to extend it with mere lines or to reduce international waters.

    Extend from the basics and win using anything and everything, whatever force and finesse it takes.

    You lose your credibility when you use terms such as " infested with Democrats". Really! That is the way the supporters of Hitler saw Jews in Germany as an "infestation".

    There are radical left wing democrats no doubt. To falsely brand any political party or splinter group that you disagree with as being "America-hating" is further reason to lose credibility.

    It is unbelievable that some people will consider those who they do not share the same political philosophy with as "hating America " but when the Southern pro slave holding states actually did betray their country and show hatred for America by secession those same people call those rebels "patriots".

    Force and finesse ? That will do it. The ocean Provides over 90% of the pathway of drugs into America from the southern Americas. Makes the border wall seem a bit archaic.

    70,000 or more died from street drug overdose last year. If the wall saves but a mere 7,000 it's worth it.

    More Americans are dying by overdose in a year's time than in the entire 20-year Vietnam War.

    You forgot to explain they are mostly municipal laws that have no bearing on adjacent jurisdictions...
    But that wouldn’t make your point, which eludes anyone reading it. .

    Ha ha.
    This border wall provides protection and a barrier from apprehension. It aids drug trafficking. That’s why we monitor open areas electronically then send free moving patrols to intercept. The last thing we need is a wall that authorities have to drive miles just to get to the other side. You’re living in the 17 th century. Of course, one person on land can carry 20 to 30 lbs of drugs in his back on ground in the open....
    while one person following a undetectable coastal route protected by the shoreline driving a boat can transport a ton. You guys are delusional. This is why over 90% come by water.

    So how would you respond? Pretend you are the POTUS. What would YOU do? Since you are so critical of his response, lets hear yours. 9 of your citizens were just massacred...go, lets hear it!

    You are the one who claimed they are non existent, yet now you know all about them...see the problem with such "logic"? Looks like you knowingly pedaled, a BS claim and proved it with your own words.

    Sadly the wall will not stop drugs from entering our country.

    Nope. It's only a baseline from which to extend with fury and hellfire.

    He said 70,000 and you edit it to say "000" were you not just complaining about someone, editing your post to make up some BS?

    You speak the truth, that will get you the "fifth" of being crapped on by Trump supporters.

    We arm the world, or at least those we think can influence to be pro US. But, like the foreign aid that we gift, much of it ends up in the hands of strong men that operate much like local medieval despots that then peddle, sell, and apply those gifts to enhance their power and attract indebted and dependent followers. Commodities like weapons end up traded in a black network that supplies other strong men. Over the last hundred years lots of American guns have found their way through out Mid and South America, augmented by weapons often pilfered directly from military and police armies and sold by various corrupt military commanders and local police groups directly to anyone with the funds. It isn’t that difficult to acquire weapons, often full auto, South of our border; all you need is cash...preferably American Currency. Need a permit? Those too can be purchased. As for the cartels, it’s not a huge difficulty to buy what they want, when they want it, nor, to receive imports from China, Eastern Block Countries, particularly when you can pay to control certain shipments at the ports. Many of the weapons flowed north to Mexico along the path of the drugs, not south.
    I spent a good deal of time below the border, and while we weren’t in the drug trade, it wasn’t difficult to acquire side arms or something like a fully Auto AK...they were inexpensive, the permit to have the weapons, a bit more expensive... but if you had the money.
    The only people that don’t have guns, are the majority...the poor that can’t afford them. And those people, don’t dare offend the men with guns; lots desolate places the further south you go to disappear someone.

    I would privately demand that my CIA operatives and investigators be permitted into the region and to have access to any available information. I would publicly voice my support for the Mexican Government and off the complete support of the United States in whatever manner they should deem necessary to bring those killers to justice. I would personally speak with the family privately and issue my condolences and promise to expend all available resources to ensure that justice is brought about swiftly and that the family is afforded additional protection going forward.

    Mass graves down there, sometimes people are incinerated in a drum. It's a shethole.

    He can't. The Cartel's recently defeated Federal Troops and forced them to release El Chappo's son, who they had just taken into custody.

    How the Fake News Media treats ISIS vs the Mormons is instructive.

    no, President's have stopped asking Congress to declare war.

    President Trump is in a position of weakness since he lost the house to democrats, and now Virginia.

    it is high time to strike, and strike fast. first mexico to curb the drugs, and then iran for the oil

    no, the President could wage a war on drugs like Reagan did.

    it would be a proxy war against mexico, which will not affect the economy of Texas.
