    The vast majority of police don't shoot blacks. Think. Think. Think. Don't listen to ABC, CBS, NBC, or the democrats.

    The peaceful part if that's what you want to call it ends at sun down every day. During daylight hours there are still people blocking streets and highways, how is that peaceful??

    And those riots have murdered more people than cops have for years.

    You lost me at "WALL". I suppose you think that drones dropping water balloons on illegals is more effective

    You're right for once. It wasn't hurricane Hannah, it was tropical storm Hannah that felled the wall. If it was a hurricane those workers couldn't have just been walking around like that.

    No completed section of wall has been blown down by a storm, read the link.

    I'm quite familiar with hurricanes, having been born and raised, my entire life in Florida.

    Oh come on. You got a guy makes a claim that the protesters have murdered more people than cops have in years I get to have a little fun with Trump's wall. But you're right it wasn't a tropical storm that brought it down , it was a gust of wind.

    PS What does it tell you about the skills of a contractor that screws up that poorly? It's only a question of time before it fails spectacularly.

    I guess I have to do your reading for you and lead you to water....(from the posted link, you obviously did not bother reading)

    “The video circulating on social media appears to be from June 2020, when high winds caused several border wall panels that were pending additional anchoring to fall over at a construction site near Deming, New Mexico.”

    Well? Would you want to live in a house built by this contractor? I sure wouldn't.

    The builder was Fisher Industries.

    And when it became clear the construction was poorly executed at best....

    I do believe the administration is responsible for due diligence is it not? 10s of billions wasted on something that will not work and will fail.

    Yup, that's it. "The left" are a hive mind who collectively got together and swore never to make their hated opponents on the right, look bad. They only mess up their own protests and turn them violent. Yup, you got me there. Good detective work.

    I wasn't referring to any particular wind.
    But from your link.

    “The video circulating on social media appears to be from June 2020, when high winds caused several border wall panels that were pending additional anchoring to fall over at a construction site near Deming, New Mexico.”
    You weren't trying to say sections of that expensive wall didn't get blown over, were you?

    I have many photos I could post of burned out buildings and many stories of beaten and even dead people, all as a result of these peaceful protests, that say otherwise. So take your head out of the sand.

    This is what you people always hide behind, you show a peaceful protest, but then switch off your brains, and the TV cameras when it turns violent, just so you can claim the protests are peaceful. You did it with Occupy Wall Street for months, claiming it was peaceful, and we see rapes, shootings, arson, looting and destruction of property. And this madness repeats over, and over again, Ferguson, Baltimore, Trayvon, OWS, you name it, they turn violent, and yet you want to ignore the violent part, and just assume they are peaceful. There are endless photos of mass destruction after these "peaceful protests" degenerate into a mob of violent rioters.

    If your neighbor's pit bull bites hundreds of people, but it does have its moments when it's peaceful, it's not a peaceful dog.

    Which helps prevent illegal crossings into the USA, something which benefits the entire nation. Just because there are some people playing politics, who don't want border security, means nothing.

    Again, I'm not saying they haven't happened.
    The vast vast majority are not violent.

    No, it can be over, under, around and smuggled through.
    Makes it tougher, but it won't end crossings.

    No one is claiming that fencing alone will do this. We also have drones, LEO, visual and electronic detectors, etc... it's a multifaceted effort.

    If you are serious about stopping uninvited people, trespassers, illegal aliens, or whoever, and you are to be taken serious, you must have a physical barrier, in combination with other methods to prevent or apprehend intruders. This is why NFL stadiums, concert halls and the like all have fences and walls. Just about any business, including people's homes, or anyone that feels threatened by unlawful entry onto their property, they all include walls, fences, etc... to keep out trespassers.

    There are many videos showing the riots, so they exist, that's not debatable. There are many videos of protesters where some rioters, who are in and among the "peaceful protesters" dump out bags with brick, fire bombs, etc.. one even shows those umbrellas they use to hide form the cameras, and then they start assaulting the police with them. Most times the protesters do absolutely nothing about this violence. That may be enough for the police to start shutting down the protest, and asking the crowd to disperse. This is when the grey area comes in. If the police are being harmed, and the crowd is refusing to disperse, they just joined in with the mob, and this is where a lot of protests that start out peaceful, turn violent.

    If USA was serious about stopping uninvited people, we'd punish those who hire them. Since most come here to work.
    But then, our economy would lose workers. So neither party stops the uninvited.
    In fact, some of tRUMPs companies actually employed uninvited people. Which is just as illegal as the uninvited people being here.

    Agreed, But you are talking about the do-nothing Congress who are such bitter partisans they cannot agree on any important issues.

    It's voters on both sides who want the tools in place so employers can tell if a person is a legal resident, and then punish employers for hiring illegals. So why can't the voters agree on these points and come together? These politicians create a partisan divide between the voters so these same politicians can go on fighting and bickering in a grab for power.
