They run it, private contractors do the work.

Same thing for most government endeavors. They can bid out the work to contractors to their specs.

The last time I was on Fort Brag, private contractors were doing all the road work and new building on base.

The concept of construction battalions went out a long time ago. Just about when Cheney was a stock holder in Haliburton.

So Trump can now claim he signed an infrastructure bill when he signed that massive spending bill for the Pentagon.

Damn that public school "education"! Don't you work for the federal gov't?

If what you claim is TRUE, why do we have an INS agency and immigration LAWS which go back to 1875?

"History. Shortly after the U.S. Civil War, some states started to pass their own immigration laws, which prompted the U.S. Supreme Court to rule in 1875 that immigration was a federal responsibility. The Immigration Act of 1891 established an Office of the Superintendent of Immigration within the Treasury Department."Immigration and Naturalization Service - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigr...zation_Service

Not only that but these claims that the farmers need illegal aliens is BS! There are unlimited H-2A visas for legal, foreign farm workers. Why do these pro-illegals keep repeating that lie? Only 2-4% of illegal aliens are working on farms the rest have taken jobs that Americans have always done for a fair wage until millions of cheap illegals flooded our border.


As for the claim that we are no longer welcoming to immigrants that's BS also! We welcome 1 million legal immigrants a year. Why do these pro-illegals keep repeating that lie?

No one believes anything Trump says. Even if he tried, where does he get the money for materials?

I would if I was him but I'm not and why did you reply to me within my own post instead of where it's supposed to be? The wall is feasible as I said congress approved of it in 2006 so how was it not feasible? Twisting my words now? I said if it's not feasible for the military to build it then so be it. It still can be built by someone else.
