Why do you lefties act so juvenile? Why can't you debate without the personal attacks and negative descriptions of people's looks of those you don't agree with? I swear I think I'm debating with kindergarteners in here.


Pelosi and Schumer are anything but adults. Do you think your comments above are adult like?


I have no further need to read or reply to your posts.

We can certainly look at those areas on a case by case basis.

How heavy are a few sticks of dynamite?

No, he didn't lie! You're lying by saying so. As another poster pointed out you've had your answers over and over in here. You just choose to ignore them because it doesn't fit your agenda.

Good question. How would they carry all that equipment when they they're carrying 40 or 50 kilos of heroin?

Yes, as soon as Obama became president there were suddenly vast areas along the border where is was not feasible. I wonder why.

It is to the discretion of the head of DHS apparently she feels more is needed. Btw, it was supposed to be a double fence.

And, let’s see those actual quotes you keep bandying about.

Actual quote from a former BP agent:

“"The problem we face since then, and we continue to face it today, is no one defines what success looks like," Manjarrez said. Today, apprehensions are at a 20-year low, the State Department reports there is no credible evidence of terrorists moving across the Southern border, and the more harmful narcotics, like methamphetamines, are smuggled mostly in vehicles through the official ports of entry.”


https://www.npr.org/2019/01/09/68374...jVviVxYf5lw1Dw

Ports of entry like:

“$1.7 million worth of fentanyl seized at Port of Philadelphia.”

https://6abc.com/3690305/?fbclid=IwA...ZpFM2As42OIFt8

Is Philadelphia on the southern border?




More:

“Nine congressional representatives serve the districts that line the 2,000-mile southern border. They are men, women, freshman politicians and Washington veterans. The Democrats among them span liberal ideologies, while one of them is a Republican.
But they all have one thing in common: each is against President Donald Trump's border wall.”


https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trumps-...ding-2019-1-8/

But, yeah, everyone knows better than people who actually live on the southern border.




I have posted the comments from the Border Patrol currently on duty and they disagree with everything you have said. It's a lie that all drugs come through legal ports of entry also. It's too risky and young males are used as mules to transport a lot of it through unguarded parts of the border. Get back with us when we stop having thousands still breaching our border every month, will you?

If you have, let's see it.

So, we don't know, so it just won't work? Is that what yo are really saying?

And that would alert the BP....yes? And they could focus on that area.
