He's grasping at straws here and not telling the whole story which is what these liars and pro-illegals do.

Don't confuse them with the FACTS.

They can't handle them and you will have the running to their "safe" places AGAIN with their crayons and therapists phone number!


"Ken Cuccinelli, who served as deputy secretary of homeland security in the Trump administration, said his department built what it could — and in a stunningly short amount of time. As of January 2020, the administration had just 100 miles. It erected nearly a mile a day over the rest of the year to reach the 450-mile mark. Roads and wall definitely came before lighting and technology; thus, you would expect wall building to be well ahead of tech and lighting, and it was,” Mr. Cuccinelli said.

New York is spending at least $14 million (don't these things always go over budget?) to repair this bridge. How much do you think that is, per mile?



Your tax dollars are paying for some of that, regardless of which state you live in. Local money isn't being used for the project.

I already had this info collected because I was going to start a thread on government waste and corruption with this as an example, but decided not to. Too broad a topic and the people here tend to not be thoughtful enough to engage in anything deeper than a puddle, anyway. Thanks for bringing it up for me, though, so it's not completely wasted effort.

BTW, you're still on ignore, so I won't see your response, if any.

Wait, you're unironically comparing a load-bearing bridge to a freakin' wall in the desert?

#Winning!!

I'm sure that 69 miles of wall is making a yuge difference!
There were over 500 miles of wall built.

Why do you want open borders? What's in this for you?

These anti-wall people all have an agenda. Either they hate Trump so much that they can't stand to admit that he tried to do something about illegal entry in spite of the Democrats fighting him all they way, hire illegal aliens for profit, are brainless bleeding heart liberals, want to increase the Democrat voter base or they have ethnic or personal ties to illegal aliens. It's usually the latter. They will never admit to their true agenda though.

Last film i saw was people going over, under and through the "wall".

The whole thing was a scam right from the very beginning. Donald and his cronies pocketed more money than ever went into actual (substandard) materials and labor.

I know, hard to believe, eh?
