Illegal crossing in Arizona have plunged 90% as compared to last December.

That's huge. Border Patrol, whose job has become infinitely safer, credits Trump policies which require those seeking entry to wait in Mexico - and sometimes far South in Mexico - before their case is heard.


Meanwhile, it was a good week for wall building. 110 miles of new type wall have been built. 192 more miles are under construction, and 274 more miles in pre-construction.
The ends of some of these walls are 20 miles from any roads, and then there are sensors to detect transients. This is proving to be a very effective system.

The wall, Border patrol and ICE allowed to do their jobs but I would say the best way to discourage them from illegally entering the country is to take away the benefits.

Trump has been trying his best and the Dems have been fighting him tooth and nail while trying to turn public opinion against him but image when the Dems get back into power. We just might be seeing a 90% increase in illegal crossings as soon as next year while they give ICE a permanent vacation, order the Border agents to stand down and start dismantling the wall that was built.



These are scary times for the future of America.

No, I don't think the walls will ever be torn down. Remember, Democrats wanted walls when they had power, but they had no will to make it happen. Democrats may some day control the gates, but the walls are permanent.

Yes, the Democrats helped pass the Secure Fence Act but the walls but weren't built according to specs. Most of it was flimsy fencing that could be breached. Trump is trying to fix them and build an additional 300 miles of the good physical barriers. The Democrats don't want the good ones because they know they are very effective.

Cutting holes? ....... That's what we keep hearing, but most of us who use tools a lot have no idea how such a thing could be done.
Climb over? ..... I couldn't climb a 30 foot wall. Maybe you could, but I couldn't, and I don't know anyone who could.

No, most aren't climbing over the good barriers nor are they cutting holes in them. I agree however, that razor wire should be installed at the top of them but they are so high it may not be necessary. The good walls also have censors installed underground so razor wire is probably not necessary at the bottom.
