I say it is high time. What does he have to lose?! Build it and build it now. Steam roll over Democrats if they won’t cooperate. It’s really sad what the Democrats have become.
Democrats don't want to waste our money on a wall which wouldn't prevent anyone coming into the country. Why are we giving so much attention to this. How about we spend this money on our homeless vets who need jobs and a place to live. Or spend it for others who need help.

There are those in the military that do know construction also.

The ignoramuses saying the wall won't work are basing it on nothing but strategic lies to attempt to discourage it from happening. I don't really care whether they think it will work or not. The people that know best - the agents actually on the border enforcing it - want the wall and say it will be an effective tool.

He’s just being a blowhard again.

It shouldn't be hard to find $15 Billion (cost will be less if military builds it) in a $700 Billion annual budget.

What makes you more qualified than the vast majority of Border Patrol agents on what will or will not be effective in enforcing the border? They want the wall and say it will be effective.

Bob.
Violation of property rights is never “legal.” The owners of any property the State wants to confiscate have the right to defend their property by any means necessary--up to and including deadly force.

“Legal precedents” don't mean a damn thing with regards to Natural Law.

And the Republicans are oh so perfect . This country is basically the psycho left attacking the whacky right. It's sad to see what the US Government has become would be a more realistic statement. And it's also sad to see the continued degradation of humanity.

You trust the government to “find” $15 billion of stolen income?

How do you know there are still tunnels? Because they get detected and destroyed.

I would suggest you not try using that argument in court. Word to the wise.
