    Lol, trump wanted to build effective walls and Democrats fought him tooth and nail every step of the way, so the best he could do was an inferior wall. Now democrats are upset that trump didn’t build an effective wall.

    maybe with a little bit of parties helping eachother out instead of just saying no to whoever is in power, **** could actually get done. Once again, all politicians in DC disgust me.

    Unlike Trump supporters I don't blindly follow. In addition, the border wall is always undergoing maintenance, and I am curious if this wall work is maintenance or more wall.

    You think so?

    Migrants stream through gaps in border wall following Biden's order to halt construction

    The border wall pause is costing taxpayers $1 million a month

    My friend,

    You're trying to defend an indefensible.

    Thousands of tons of steel and heavy equipment stand idle along the country's southern border as legions of migrants exploit holes in the fence left by President Biden’s decision to halt construction.

    Smugglers send groups of asylum seekers through the gaps to overwhelm the agents. When agents leave to intercept or apprehend one group, another group scampers across.

    "It’s insane," said an agent attending to a group of 13 Brazilian migrants apprehended Tuesday near a 100-foot gap in the fence in Otay Mesa, Ca. "The project is ¾ done. At least, they should be allowed to tie together the primary fence. Otherwise, we’re trying to catch these people in the worst possible place. It’s just sucking our manpower."

    President Trump built 455 miles of new border wall. President Biden has enough cash left – about $3 billion – to finish another 200 miles. According to the Army Corp of Engineers about 39 fence projects across the border stand idle. Biden voted to build 700 miles of border protection in 2006. Today he calls them useless, inhumane, and unnecessary.

    I dunno who's blind, Trump supporters, or sleepy Joe' supporters. One thing is clear to me - America is being fleeced and overrun. And Democrats are either happy about it, or don't give a damn.

    FYI, there is no way 200 miles of wall for $3B, let alone Trump did over 100 miles a year. 75 miles of wall a year would have been extrordinary.

    Again a wall needs to be manned :)

    Which is exactly what we have ICE for: To man these posts. A country's national security is its top priority. We don't need smugglers, rapists as well as terrorists sneaking across the border. We can have perfectly legal immigration while giving a damn about who comes here. Democratic sentiments have made pursuing effective policy difficult for the party brass.

    I thought you did your research! Those are prototypes. I support Biden's wall, but more important, we need to remove the incentives that motivate people to drag children on a dangerous journey through the dessert and risk breaking their necks like those in your picture.

    The same $400. spent on one night in a hotel can do so much more good back home. Of course, that would require a genuine concern for helping our fellow humans.

    CBP are using drones to monitor the border.

    I didn't even understand what point you're trying to make. Yes, people are coming in. People will always be coming in. And we have a constitutional obligation to accept those who qualify for refugee status.

    So? Trump's wall was a dumb thing to do in the first place. We alerted everybody who would listen that it would be a waste of money. We would have far less problems if we used that money for more immigrations judges at entry points to process refugees quicker. Or to fight the drug cartels and paramilitary groups in those countries that are the ones these people are escaping from. Or to expand the CAM program that was working wonderfully at the end of the Obama administration, but Trump simply shut down.

    We have many problems that are the result of the four years we spent not having a real President, and only an asterisk President*

    President Trump did what he could to help America and Americans. Sleepy Joe is doing what he can to cancel Trump.

    Maybe they'll put the wall funding in the infrastructure bill and dare Republicans to vote against it.

    That first picture is the samples from different contractors for the walls panels.

    It's obvious you are not interested in the truth. Right now, under Biden's administration, there is a humanitarian crisis at the border. Trump had a good way to prevent a good amount of this and the left refused to fund it. Now you must live with what's happening. Sharing pictures with misinformation seems to be your way. At least own up to what's happening and admit it's the left's fault.

    Certainly not what he needed to do so but built miles and miles with what he had so if you want to complain about not enough wall being built then complain about Pelosi.

    Not surprising, Democrats supported border barriers for years, until political optics became more important than the security of our nation.

    No! That's what there actually is.

    If I'm wrong, I'm eager to learn. So let's see YOUR research. Doesn't make much difference to the left. But it's all the rage on the right (figurately and literally).

    That would be funny! But I doubt it. I'm sure they'll include something related to border security, though.

    Lol...trump and his crony bannon screwed up the wall construction so badly with their embezzlement scheme that sections were left broken with gaps where the crooked contractors failed to do their jobs.
    The wall is actually worse now than when trump and bannon got their mitts on the dough.
    It’s amazing how everything trump touches turns to ****.

    Fair enough. Here are real pictures of different sections of the wall taken in January of this year. Most on inauguration day

    Show us YOU are interested in the truth by acknowledging that what Trump did was a waste of money.

    These are good picks showing progress on a big job. The waste comes when construction stops. I fully support Bidens wall.

    A drone can do the work far better and at night with thermal vision.

    For the 1Mth time, drones are far better and less expensive.

    Pictures show the foundation work being done. How is that a waste of money? You can't just slap the wall up on some dirt and call it a day. Lots of ground work must be done so the wall is a stable structure.
