In other words, you're happy? What's happening is what you wanted to happen - little or no wall being built?

What did he do with all the money he stole from the military?
That's what I want to know. First, he used a phony declaration of national emergency to get the dough, then he said he would steal bucks from the military. So where'd the money go?

This is what is the facts! Nobody understands or want to understand - it’s going to take years - mrT be long gone and all this will fall apart. Maybe you and I won’t be around or even remember!

Right. What a waste of money when we have a far easier solution. A waste of money on a "solution" that isn't even going to work.

It only runs out about 60 miles. Just past that there is still a big problem. I hunt out there and we see them all the time.

The argument was that this was an example of the new wall that Trump said he would build. It's not.

That's precisely why the good physical barriers should extend along the most porous areas of the border including the entire San Diego border with Mexico. The miles completed already have proven to be very effective in those areas. From what I understand there is only 35 miles that were completed under the Obama administration in the San Diego area.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued two waivers, which will ensure expeditious construction of new bollard wall within the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson and El Centro Sectors in Arizona and California, respectively.

The projects covered by the waivers include up to approximately 78 miles of new bollard wall in place of dilapidated and outdated designs, in addition to road construction and improvement and lighting installation. The waivers were published in the Federal Register on May 15, 2019.

That's not new walls in places where no walls currently exist. It is just replacement of existing walls.
