Agreed Bos. It was funded, partially built, but there was one little problem which this article calls "Presidential will."

Query: Would we still call it "Trump's Wall" if he loses? Or if he fails to complete the wall during his term?

Add in the drug trafficking that is killing America's youth and the number of illegals freeloading off the American government and you'd have to be blind to see that what we have now is NOT WORKING.
Build Trumps wall now...I'll be happy to lay the first brick!

you dont need walls to ban people.

you cut off the entitlements, the free tuition for illegals that your boy rick perry doles out, etc, put in an e-verify and heavily punish companies who hire illegals.

that eliminates the illegal immigration problem and saves 10 billion on a wall.

And why? Because no politician, including Trump, actually wants to fine or punish any of their business pals for breaking the law. Which proves that Trump is just a lot of hot air when he complains about the illegal immigration problem.
Only a handful of states have mandated e- Verify for all employers/ employees. Why is this?

Florida is not one of them. Florida has several Sanctuary counties, not cities, counties. The Florida legislature has been Republican for a long long time. The governor has been Republican for a long , long time and yet...

Instead of taking simple effective action, Congress hides behind grand plans designed to go no place fast.

It has not mattered who sat the oval or held the majority of Congress. Doing nothing for 30 years was no accident.

And yeah, Rick Perry and all but 4 of the Texas state legislature advocated for giving in - state tuition to undocumented students in 2001. Now he's all about building a wall.

A wall is not the answer. Unless you sink a few billion into a concrete foundation that goes down 20 feet they will just like jack rabbits dig little tunnels under it....thousands of them. If you can just get the liberal progressives under control who have no national survival instincts to speak of when it comes the internal displacement of legal citizens - them included....that might be helpful...MOSTLY if there are laws and laws that are upheld through FORCE....that would solve the problem...law ENFORCEMENT.


The laws are in place but law enforcement is not in place. It is cheaper to have law enforcement taking care of the problem than to build a billion dollar wall. Trump has no vision and lacks practicality when it comes to guarding the doors and maintaining the walls of a nation. Rule of law! Has anyone ever heard of it?

Maybe we could just build the wall around Trump? We'd all be a lot safer that way....

Tunnel sensors don't do what you think they do. They basically monitor the air in tunnels.
