These people being interviewed are insane. Reading it is like being in an episode of the twilight zone.

They want it to be easy for people to immigrate here illegally. They think that there should be no borders between countries, and that the border wall is an affront to humanity.

Trump is the president who bravely fought for a wall as to end the human tragedy at our border, and argued for a sensible merit-based immigration system a la Canada
No, Kamala wants to kiss all the illegal immigrants as they run across the border!

Actually I am surprised he is talking about the wall in general, the media has been quite silent as well. I know BLM and COVID are big issues for the left but the wall is something that the whole left could get behind?

Folks, while those of us who are being honest have long known that the wall works, the left has been screaming that it doesn't do anything and is ineffective. But this current cry is them giving up their game. If the wall is ineffective as the left claims, why do they want it knocked down?

I can hear her now as she cackles and mugs for the camera, "America is no place for Hate or Discrimination and we welcome our new friends and neighbors that are merely seeking asylum and access to our nation to live out their American Dream for themselves and Family with open arms (and wallets)...



Illegal aliens are the future of the Democrat party voting block.
I can see Kamala having BBQ's with the illegal immigrants around the warm campfire.. as she passes out free vouchers for section 8 housing, free food, free school lunches....things most American's don't even have....

I expect he'll be busy with other matters. This is just a tempest in a teapot. Tearing down the wall would be a waste of money, energize the Republican base, and provide no political benefit to the Democrats. Biden has already signaled that he doesn't intend to remove the existing wall; he just won't add to it.

I forgot what else he's supposed to be doing.
News the media fails to tell you Trump Administration accomplishments

Biden is likely stepping down eventually for Harris to take over. So what he feels is probably irrelevant

To save the butterflies?


Nah ... The Wall is effective. Illegal entry is down 50% from last year - and that's just the ones who were caught or rejected. We actually can't tell how many were prevented from entering.
And keep in mind it is not complete. We need another couple hundred miles.
370 miles complete, so far..
The Border Patrol Chief explains how much the wall improves life for both Mexicans and Americans.

That's two miles more than were done in June, though, so it's getting there! https://www.latimes.com/politics/sto...not-much-of-it

just a wee bit different wall/fence/whatever you want to call it....
