Walls WORK!!!! Period. Good grief. We get it. You hate walls and you are all about illegals flooding into the country and causing bad things. Your point has been made.
Many millions of dollars worth of border wall steel,
that taxpayers have already paid for, is just sitting in the desert.
Brandon won't even consider selling the steel, that's going to waste,
to the State of Texas. Shows how much he cares about taxpayers.
So those land owners who did not want a wall, did they get their land back or eminent domain by the state now taking their properties? The voters better wake up, between him and Disantis they are forgetting what the majority of the people want.
Last I read some lawsuit were still pending since the Bush administration. Seems the Anglos got more money for their land than the Mexicans who had held similar land for many generations. I have not checked in some time.
So you're okay with the drugs coming into the US.
Got it.
Yeah man. Cool story.
Since good ole amuri-ka wants all the low grade workers to be stoners ( pot enthusiast)
You have to live in a time capsule if you didn't see amuri-ka crumble and start passing MJ laws to beat off the war on drugs competition. If there was a wall that should have been built it was the one
That houses all the ignoramus's who profit from keeping amurikans hooked on MJ and heroin.
That entire wall is symbolic of the mindset of some citizens . The nimbys .
Anybody wanting in will just go some place else where there is no wall.
Might be harder, might cost them more, but anybody wanting in will come in.
If it’s man made - it can be breached. I don’t care what anyone has to say. I’ve seen them scale walls just as they do mountains. They bring fire truck type ladders. Ropes- drones and and explosives to make a hole. You can dent the Mexican side to make it a climbing wall. Tunnels run deep - how deep is the wall? Just as we create things- they do as well. Again - it’s not the wall that will deter, it’s lack of jobs.
Additional measures could be taken to supplementing the wall. Barbed wire, gulch construction, Active Denial System deployments to deter trespassers, Long Range Acoustic Devices, and others. You could deploy over 1200 soldiers and you would have roughly one for each mile of the Texas/Mexico border. Obviously such an undermanned approach in all terrain wouldn't be carried out but the ability to do so is there which is the point.
Abbott has been for the border wall since day 1. He has been fighting this administration every step of the way to no avail. He is finally able to fix it himself and good for him. He came up with the money and he got land owners donations. Good for him. This sounds like a politician people need that want to protect America.
He's just doing his job. If it gets him elected again, then great. We need more politicians that stand up for their people. What's wrong with that? Every politician should do what's fight for their people. Abbott is doing just that.
Those who don't want the wall are being pandered to by the Democrats. They are the ethnocentrics, bleeding heart liberals and businesses that want cheap labor so what's the difference? I'd rather our politicians pander to law abiding Americans of whom they are supposed to represent and the security of our nation's borders. How can any patriotic American see it any differently?
So you're okay with the drugs coming into the US.
Got it.
How can any loyal American be ok with our nation's borders being violated? There are not only economic migrants stealing jobs, taxes and resources from Americans but criminals and those from known terrorist countries slipping through our porous southern border. As I said, those who are ok with that and don't want a wall that is 90% effective has a vested interest in illegal immigration. In most cases it's due to ethnic ties to these illegals. It's self-serving and racist.
