What - EXACTLY - Is Trump's Plan For A Border Barrier?
He's going to build it.
Questions?

That is an absolute lie the media continues to perpetuate and Y'all try with all your might to turn into a fact.

What you have on video is Trump saying some illegal aliens are rapists etc., and some are perhaps pretty good people.

So no, you cannot have that non-truth.

It was untrue yesterday, it will be untrue today, it will be untrue tomorrow, it will be untrue on a boat, it will be untrue on a mote.

Another thing the media lies about wrt the Wall.

The wall is being built and rebuilt right now, yesterday, and tomorrow.

The whole length of the border is, let's just say for argument sake, 2000 miles. So, about one third or 660 miles of that are already done.

Now, 280 miles of that are garbage and need to be redone, so Trump has allocated resources to redo some of the 280 rather than just continue on with the 660.

Do y'all capisce?

Details in this case may have to be subject to change depending on what's possible and what's not.

You seem to be incredulous at the obvious.

Now, he may have several options in mind depending on what's possible at different price/political points.

But he's under no obligation to announce them.
Sorry what?

Have you forgotten that he asked for a specific amount of money?

Where did that amount come from?

What was it based on?

I am willing to accept that he pulled the number out of his nether regions, but those who claim that he's serious about building this monument to himself have to admit that he had something in mind when stating that figure.

So what all does it entail?

Why that number?

Get real. When we went to the moon nobody knew how a Saturn Five rocket worked. But we knew it was going to be built to get us there. In other words there was a plan. All we want to know is what is Trump’s plan for his Wall.

What he's asking for and what he'll get are obviously going to be two different numbers.

A common tactic in the business world is to ask for more than you really want in order to seem like you're compromising to get the final number.


He also may have plans that entail incorporating alternative funding along with any funds that end up being appropriated through Congress/budget.


Again, he's under no obligation.

Goal: Go to moon. Plan: build rocket
Goal: Secure border Plan: build wall

Why do you want to know details? I doubt that it's so you can support the plan. Likely the opposite. Knowing that, I would keep the plans as close hold as possible.

And that link from the Trump Administration had what to do with Trump’s Wall proposal. Just give us the plan Chuck.

I got $100 that says if you gave Trump that 4th grade elementary school test of a blank US map and asked him to write in all the states, he'd fail miserably.
