$1 billion stolen from the income of the American people.
All taxation is theft.
You're going to get stolen from either way. You want something out of that, or would you prefer that we swing the door wide open and pay for even more illegals?
I get it, but you have to face reality of what is going on, right now. Complaining about taxes in every other post does not make taxes stop. It's not going to stop. I think it's also theft, but if I get a wall out of it to stop illegals so I don't have to pay as many taxes, then I'll choose the wall over paying for illegals to live here.
This feaux national emergency thing is going to come in real handy when the Dems take back the presidency and senate in 2020. We'll declare a national emergency for the healthcare crisis, implement Medicare for All, and be done with it. Thanks, Republicans!
The Department of Defense has awarded nearly $1 billion in contracts to two companies for construction related to a wall along the southern border, the first such contracts to be awarded since President Trump declared a national emergency.
You mean the fence that was 95%+ complete before Trump was elected? That fence?
Only 35 miles of the good double barriers were completed and 700 miles were supposed to be the same but weren't. Whatever else was erected was flimsy fencing that could be breached and this is what Trump wants fixed.
It was called the "National Secure Fence Act" of 2006.
Key word here is "Fence".
Fence was just the terminology used to name the bill (probably used instead of wall because it sounded more PC). In its contents it was to be for double barriers along 700 miles of the most porous areas of our border not mere fencing.
We kind of already do pay for roads and repairs, around here they WASTE money every year, fixing sections of road that do not need fixing, just to ensure they keep getting that money every year!

Those are your choices right here, right now.
That's a hell of a defeatist attitude. It's like telling a woman she's just gonna get raped anyway, so she should just choose how and where.
I'm more concerned with the property rights of the landowners along the border than anything else regarding this issue. I've stated before that I would fully support the use of deadly force against any government agents who come to confiscate their property.
Funny thing is, the next President that disagrees with all of Trumps nonsense can undo all his crap, including taking down any wall he might actually get built.

This is the wall that was approved by congress back in 2006. Trump wasn't even president back then.
