Reading comprehension is not your friend I see....


If you'd read the link, you'd know there are a few hundred miles already paid for....but you don't want to read that because it goes against what you want and it angers you...sorry...so sad....


Here, just because we know you won't go to the link, you may learn something there...

DHS is positioned to construct 215 miles of Border Patrol’s highest priority border wall miles including:

• ~5 miles in San Diego Sector in California
• ~14 miles in El Centro Sector in California
• ~27 miles in Yuma Sector in Arizona
• ~9 miles in El Paso Sector in New Mexico
• ~55 miles in Laredo Sector in Texas
• ~104 miles in Rio Grande Valley Sector in Texas

And

In FY18, Congress provided $1.375B for border wall construction which equates to approximately 84 miles of border wall in multiple locations across the Southwest border, including:

• $251M for a secondary border wall in the San Diego Sector
• $445M to construct a new levee wall system in the Rio Grande Valley Sector
• $196M to construct a new steel bollard wall system in Rio Grande Valley Sector
• $445M for a primary pedestrian wall in San Diego, El Centro, Yuma and Tucson Sectors

215+84+40.25 ='s...come on, you can do it...we know you can....this is already paid for BTW....

For example, when we installed a border wall in the Yuma Sector, we have seen border apprehensions decrease by 90 percent.

See^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^wall don't work...oh wait..............

A Million bucks buys pretty much concrete.



Average price for a square yard is around $60.


$1 million could buy 16,700 yards!!

It doesn't even have a lot of coverage right now, and it's at 1.9 million in 2 days.

Regardless of what you think about that, here's my question to all the lefties on here throwing little fits about this:

Why do you care? What difference does it make to you if citizens of this country want to put money towards the wall? At least they aren't hypocrites. The right tells the left that if they want to harbor illegals, use their own money, bring them into their homes, feed and clothe them, etc.

And here's the right, wanting a wall, and putting their money where their mouths are.

And you all have a problem with that? Really?

What are you scared of...that the right won't bow down to your orders to accept illegals?

It's not your money, you don't even like the right, so what do you care?

I did read the page, and the guy doesn't have any place to send the funds as of yet. He also claims that he is working with a law firm that will bind the government to use any funds collected only for the wall, I'm pretty sure that a lawyer can't tell congress what it can and can't do with funds. He also claims that 100% of the funds donated will go to the wall, but then who will be paying the taxes and go fund me fees?

Seems to me that the guy jumped before getting his ducks in a row.

So, who gets all this donated money if they dont reach their goal or if another source pays?


Suddenly I have the urge to start my own kickstarter campaign.

We’ll call it welfare, then you can support it

Yada, yada. Like I said I know all about the fencing. I have seen it, I see it every month. So quit telling me about it. But Trump did not even spend most of the money he got and he is being offered just as much this year. No. He wants a monument to himself.

I'm not against fencing where it is appropriate. Stop implying that.

LOL...when something is planned, like what I've shown you, it may not be spent, but it is marked for that project....


Nope, no matter how much you or cnn spew it, it does not make it true....


What I've shown you is true and it makes you mad....

So, you've seen that particular part of the fencing/wall/ham sandwich that is in the link? Are you saying it's not there?


Or are you talking about in you local area where nothing has been built since 2006? Be specific....

Eminent domain lawsuits are still unresolved from when Chertoff was in charge of homeland security. No wall can be started until those lawsuit are closed.

your right

The new ham sandwich in Yuma that you mentioned among other sections near Nogales and the ones in San Diego that go out into the ocean.
