Incorrect that the 700 miles built already are the good double layered ones promised by congress in 2006. Only 35 miles of that type of fence/wall was built under the Obama administration. The rest was/is merely flimsy fencing that has been breached. Trump wants to fix those 700 miles and build another 300 miles of the good barriers. Some in here need to get their facts straight!

Refreshing to see, don't you think? i.e A politician who actually keeps promises.





Oh and of course all the Trump haters who have posted endlessly that it wouldn't happen, have scurried off like cockroaches when the light is turned on in a California kitchen.
I think you read too much into the election, he beat Clinton because shew was one of the most unpopular candidates in history.


So if he ran on the wall where was that focus the first two years, why did he suddenly wake up in 2019. I don't think even most of his supporters believed him, very catchy campaign slogan but then there is reality.

President Trump has never stopped trying to get the wall built. Its the obstructionism from the dumbocrats that is slowing things down. They are angry that the flow of illegal aliens is being stopped

So where was this emergency in 2017 and 2018, he almost signed a bipartisan bill if not for Ann Coulter. I asked this question a number of times and have yet to get an answer.

Where was the emergency the last 2 years?

You post a lot claiming your knowledge on the subjects but, you show your ignorance on the subject matter with these types of asinine questions that are common knowledge.

Try to keep up!

"So where was this emergency in 2017 and 2018,"

Ask obama, pelosu and shumer who worked and succeeded in getting a bill passed and financed to get a wall built back when they were in charge.

A simple question, Why didn't YOU complain then? Never mind. We KNOW WHY!

So, why the tax increase now? Condemning and complaining about a wall is different than saying we are going to now be taxed when we were not before, for a wall....
