The ignorance on display in this forum is immeasurable at times.

Here's my honest take on this whole thing. I believe most Liberals here aren't really against a wall or protecting our borders, but rather agaisnt the man who campaigned on it. Had this been a Liberal idea, Liberals would be glad to fund a 30 trillion dollar wall 100 feet high around the continental US, LOl.

Be honest, you hate Trump more than you hate this wall.

Scorn Liberals; that's all it is.

I'm sure that's the case for many of them. However, there are those who are bleeding heart liberals, those who hire illegal aliens for profit and those who have ethnic ties to them. They are the ones who don't want to the flow to stop. They have an anti-American agenda.

Yes, and the ignorance is on the anti-wall side.

It's the Daily Caller, so take it with a grain of salt.

I laughed out loud at reading that they couldn't get over a 30 ft. wall.

Really?

Do I need to post those links again showing how effective those good walls have been?


Why do people have walls around their homes and businesses then if they aren't a deterrant? Surely you know that it keeps out most unwanted entry, don't you?
They come through the big open roads in semis, right through checkpoints.

Also when fences were put in in Arizona illegal crossings decreased in Arizona but increased in Texas. People can and will go around all the way to the ocean if need be. Look at Cubans coming over in rafts, I'm sure that Mexicans can do the same thing if need be, there are boats in Mexico.

If you ever had any doubt that this is a project designed to appeal to stupid people, that right there should provide a hint.
Like Trump himself said, “Once they get up there,” he said, “there will be no way to get down. Well, maybe a rope, but…”

Short people?

Spit wine all over my keyboard at that one. Thought it was a joke.

Then I noticed who posted this ridiculous nonsense.

Short people can't get over a 30 ft. wall?

Please.

Reminded me of one of the toughest men I ever knew. He could stand flat-footed, loaded with gear, and jump to the top of a 55 gallon drum.

I'll bet you my twenty buck tax break that he could get over that wall.

He was short too.
