This entire proposal is a boondoggle waiting. A joke. Money to be for some had though.

The 700 mile long wall along the most porous areas of our border was already approved by congress back in 2006 and that's all that needs to be completed. Currently only 76 miles of the good wall have been erected. There are natural barriers to illegal entry on most of the rest. Fewer will try at these more difficult and dangerous areas and fewer will succeed and the Border Patrol can handle those areas. So yes that does make sense and isn't a boondoggle. I'm tired of trying to educate you and your fellow anti-wall people.

Not what I read., About 650-700 mile of fencing already exists. Plus some parts with bad terrain, nothing else needed. Leaving the remainder ......

So, part fencing (which obviously defeats the purpose of a wall), part nothing, and then parts of a new wall (with visible spaces in between).

Boondoggle. Money to be made, money to be had, by a select few.

I am tired of you changing Trumps own words. They are on record. Trump literally said an 80 foot wall across the entire border.

It's only fencing and is not working. We are talking about a 700 mile long double wall along only the most porous areas of our border. Only 76 miles of this type of wall exist right now.

He has since realized that all we need are the 700 miles of wall along the most porous areas of our border already approved by congress. I'm not changing his words I am telling you that he changed his mind!

Why don't you just give it up and admit you have an agenda to keep the border unsecured. You keep making the same old arguments over and over even though they have been debunked. Go boondoggle someone else with your BS!

I seriously believe we should trade California to Mexico for a wall then they will pay for it like the President said and we would be rid of a lot of traitors. Look how PC that would be. Mexico getting back Land the evil white man stole and the Hollywood idiots that hate this country could be Mexican citizens and above all of us.
