Over 200 miles paid for, and a 90% reduction in crossings where the fences (in some places)/walls/ham sandwich went up.... ...but hey...them pesky facts....
I think the left is fighting the wall so hard just so they can have at least one campaign promise unkept and throw it around as a failure! We see what you're doing and we just laugh at your TDS.
No doubt, they just cannot understand, the wall is going up....is it everywhere, not at this time, but since 2107 over 200 miles have been built or has been paid to be built....
Kind of like the dreaded nutritional school meal programs, destested by so many who seem to think it terrible the Federal Government seems to care more about the nutrition of children than some parents, do.
Not really sure what you're trying to say. I'm not particularly keen on the govt raising our children but if we are going to use tax money to feed them then at least feed them healthy food not Little Debbies and Pop Tarts.
Are you including military families that are on food stamps too?
Not to mention the vast swaths of people in the Dakotas, West Virginia, Nevada, California, Oklahoma, Indiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.
sure thing miu With special diets for diabetics, religious dietary restrictions, vegetarian and vegan options, food for people with lactose and grain intolerances, all prepared 3 times a day by volunteer dieticians. Do you ever stop to think before you post stuff like this?
Let them pay for their special diets out of their cigarette and beer money.
Ask them, but be glad they do because we are either going to continue to have an underclass so that there will be minimum wage workers willing to wipe your A$$ when you are in a nursing home or we will have to do a large scale importation of labor.
We already tried the large importation of uneducated non-skilled labor. All that does is cost taxpayers a LOT of extra money.
The "typical" Trump voter is poor, rural, Caucasian, on food stamps and utilize other social services.
Patently false. I already posted the data, with links. Democrats outnumber Republicans on means-tested public assistance programs by a more than 2 to 1 ratio. More than 2 to 1. What we should do is conduct a study to find out WHY Democrats are far less able than Republicans to support themselves and their families.
The problem with your numbers is that they're "raw" numbers. While Whites may make up 40% of benefit recipients that number, when normed with total White population is a lower percentage of the population cohort.
While Blacks make up @13% of the US population around 25% receive benefits, so they're overrepresented while Whites (at 65%+/- of total population) are underrepresented.
Lefties are bad at math. They don't understand statistics. It flies right over their heads. They're part of the ignorant masses. /SMH
