Apparently so ... that's why we still don't have a wall.

So securing our border doesn't equate to compassion for humanity? Once again, it's not his wall but the wall that congress approved back in 2006 with both Schumer and Obama's signatures on it.

Money would be better spent on border agents, judges, and surveillance. The only crisis at the border has been caused by Trump and Sessions and their policies.
Trump is the one stomping his feet for a wall that not many even think will solve anything. He is not used to being told NO.

Utter nonsense all of it!

So - that headline self-imploded in what, 48 hours? Pretty good. Not a record, but still - a solid performance.

Slat metal fencing. Just like Trump wants to install.

I gather reading comprehension is not your strong suit. We built ~700 miles of wall between 2007 and 2011. Illegal incursions across the southern border dropped-and stayed down. That is the excuse LWNJs use to say "we don't need a wall"-while in fact proving that it works. In case you missed it-the recession is over and has been for some time.

Millions of illegals here already and thousands still crashing our border every month is far more of a threat and creates a lot more harm than some government employee's checks being delayed.

No, that wasn't the reason.

I thought the Dems were all about the humanitarian aspect of the "migrants" ? Where is the humanity forcing people to take a dangerous journey and dragging their kids along with them? A wall would stop them from trying and put them in a spot where they could be safe and receive care.

But then again the ones that are risking their lives and trying to bypass our border security know they are breaking the law and that doesn't matter to them because they know if they are caught there are very few penalties for them.



What is happening at the border and happening to our country is not a joke.


...and there are so many tunnels...

They want security and they said so.

The doubt is in the efficacy (big word for ya, I know) the wall. Plus your DOTARD already said he “OWNS IT AND WOULD BE PROUD TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN”.

Silly far righty wingy people.....
