613 miles of 700 completed, which is nearly 90%. Feel free to call is "barely started". First you said it was not built at all, so I guess your view is evolving
According to Ponderosa, only a few miles were completed. The rest was just window dressing.
A few miles -- not built at all -- pretty much the same thing.
When it crosses into Mexico from anywhere, it gets taxed. That shouldn't be a problem.
They don't bother because it's not mandatory.
When it is mandatory, they will bother.
Of course there aren't. Americans don't want to get paid what illegals get paid.
No one but people disloyal to this country, its citizens and its laws wants illegals to stay here lowering wages for Americans, taking their jobs, and burdening our schools, prisons and hospitals.
Oh good grief. You get more absurd with every post. We can't tell the rest of the world to tax transfers into Mexico. E-verify is mandatory in Arizona. There is a death penalty for companies knowingly hiring illegals. They don't care/don't enforce it because the homebuilders need workers and the homebuilders run the government. On the other hand, everify has worked well in the fast food, restaurant, and retail sectors.
Not really a shock to people with common sense, but this is a humiliating defeat after months of chest pounding and heated rhetoric for extremists who worship Trump.
For future reference, we dont have the authority to force a sovereign country to pay for anything. Welcome to the world.
I repped Pknopp though for the excellent point that CNN can no longer be considered a legit news agency and anything they report resembling the truth is merely a coincidence. Since this comes out of CNN, I have to think that maybe Mexico might build the wall. If they reported that the Juarez desert was dry, I might wonder at what tasty fish might be extracted from it.
If someone started a thread with this from Fox, I'm sure someone else would call it fake news or an illegitimate news source:
"But whatever steps might be taken without Congress' approval would be likely to fall short of the extravagant new wall on the border that Trump repeatedly said Mexico would pay for."
As an independent, this irritates me most about the GOP. They keep harping about the Dems spending, and EVERY TIME they are in power they spend the same, or more.
Wrong.
Bush increased the national debt by $5 trillion.
Obama has increased it by $11 trillion and counting.
Well if Canada wanted to build a wall on their border with us, that would be their right. But damned if I would foot the bill.
