I say it is high time. What does he have to lose?! Build it and build it now. Steam roll over Democrats if they won’t cooperate. It’s really sad what the Democrats have become.
Why do you need the Democrats for? Trump and the GOP control all of the branches of government.
You guys run the show now so stop blaming the Democrats for your inability to fulfill a campaign promise!

If the Marines are used to guard American embassies, then military can be used to defend the border. All these being said, they are not manual labors. sheesh

It's disappointing reading these kinds of comments when I have posted several links proving that the good walls do work. A physical barrier helps the Border Patrol do their jobs more effectively. From what I understand the military is not authorized to act as Border Patrol personnel.


There are those in the military that do know construction also.

Even if he could use the military (which is far from certain), where would the money for raw materials and to purchase the necessary land come from?

He’s just being a blowhard again.

Your statement shows you’re either ignorant or dishonest, or both. Do you understand that it takes 60 votes in the Senate to normally pass legislation?

I see nothing wrong with his using the military but I do disagree with you (which is rare) I am just not convinced a wall will be much help.

Now while all of you debate this and other issues I am going to take my bath, put on my new football T shirt and enjoy some Sat afternoon football!!!!!

Where's there's a will there's a way. We have a lot of unnecessary spending in the budget. Nothing blowhard about wanting to secure our border.

No, the real reason they oppose it is because they know it will work. While they complain about foreign influence in elections, their entire electoral strategy is importing as many Hispanics as possible to influence elections.
We have major heroin epidemics in numerous cities right now...this proves the drugs are getting in consistently, despite the heavy security at the border. what makes you think building a big wall will achieve anything?
