    How many walls or fences has the so-called left put along the southern border?

    Of course, we keep hearing the same bullshit about Dems/Libs want open borders, haven't done anything on the border blah, blah, blah. It's all bullshit that's the point.

    Most of the 700 miles or so but like the hypocrites they are they don’t want to replace existing bad areas or the 105 miles of new wall proposed. Suddenly walls are immoral.

    What dems don't want is Trump to get funding for his wall and fulfill a campaign promise. As you imply Democrats have themselves funded border barriers that have worked very effectively and their current anti wall rhetoric is pure politics.

    Link it up.


    Poll: Government Shutdown Enters 23rd Day, But Support for Trump’s Border Wall Has Risen


    Now that more and more people are finding out how the Demos are lying and playing political headgames. Trump is getting more support.

    To bad your Demorats can't say the same.

    And of course we keep hearing the same bullshit from Demos/Leftists that walls and barriers don't work. Which is just an outright lie. Then we keep hearing from that lame twit Pelosi that walls are immoral. That barriers are immoral.

    Then we hear from leftists how drones, sensors, and satellites stop people from crossing over a border. Another alternative version of reality.

    It's pure politics from both sides of the spectrum. The Congress could override Trump, but folks like McConnell are looking at reelection and doesn't want to jeopardize his chances of getting reelected.

    Trump and Republicans want more and better border barriers just as democrats did before Trump wanted them. This is all about the "resistance". Pure politics.

    Ha ha. Are you seriously trying to use this as a reason not to listen to our border patrol?

    Say it ain't so!!

    You know your reasoning has a huge flaw in it, right? To the point of it creating nonsense.

    "A union that represents Border Patrol agents recently deleted a webpage that said building walls and fences along the border to stop illegal immigration would be “wasting taxpayer money.”

    https://www.politico.com/story/2019...012-webpage-opposing-walls-and-fences-1081250

    " A stunning 89 percent of line agents say a “wall system in strategic locations is necessary to securing the border.”

    Why would that be stunning since they referred to "strategic locations," not the kind of wall the Groper-in-Chief is demanding.

    Trump says he's fine with any barrier that will stop illegal immigration and it doesn't have to be a "wall" per se which proves he's negotiating while democrats stand intransigent and don't want a deal on this.

    We haven't heard anything about making improvements, adding new equipment, etc. All we have heard about is his damn wall.

    A “wall system”. In “strategic locations”
    That does not seem to be what trump is insisting upon
    I mean, could a wall system be layered fencing?
    Could you construct a barrier that was a wall system but was not thirty feet high? (As the israelis do)
    Does “strategic areas” mean the entire length of the border?

    Trump's asking for 5.2 billion dollars while estimates of a wall along the entire border range from 25 to 40 billion so obviously at this point he's only asking for the funds to put barriers at the most vulnerable locations.

    His "damn wall" is actually see through steel slats in locations that border guards have said would be a better alternative.

    Nobody has a problem with in strategic locations being strengthened or improved.

    Is your contention that all strategic sections along the border currently have barriers? There are no parts of the border that would benefit from new barriers?

    Only 105 miles of new border barrier is proposed. Some of the replacements are for the vehicle barriers that still allow illegals to stroll through.

    At brass tacks level when presented with facts like this most democrats agree with trump but will never openly admit it. Just watch the person you adressed that to deflect after he has already said nobody"has a problem with that".
