The border fences that have been erected because of the Border Fence Act, are working just fine. Just google El Paso, Tx border fence. Since the fence has gone up, illegal crossings are significantly down. More importantly, crime is down in El Paso which has been ranked the safest large city in the U. S. for four consecutive years. El paso averages less than twenty murders a year. Meanwhile, thirty murders are reported every month across the border in Juarez, Mexico.

Walls were never a part of the Border Fence Act. While Trump has called for a wall to be built, a fence is fine and has been proven to be just as effective.

I guess you haven't been following politics all your life. Anyway, trump isn't backtracking. He's being strategic and trying to bring our country together to implement his agenda. The wall will get built, illegal criminals will be deported, our immigration plan will finally work for the people. Trade deals will be renegotiated, taxes and regulation will be cut. Supreme Court will be conservative for our new generation. Good times ahead

Trump follows strictly through with his promises with deportations, muslim bans, border walls, etc. His haters are outraged. Wants him to hear them.

Trump hears them and softens his stance. His haters will then say he is a liar and won't do things like he said.

You see, with his haters, he can never win no matter what he does.

Trump doesn't know what he is doing which is why Pence will be running the show for the next 4 years, armed with a neocon cabinet. If John Bolton becomes Secretary of State, I'll admit that Hillary was the lesser of the two evils.

Is there anything his faithful followers won't give him a pass on?
