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.
Where the good walls have already been built they have already proven to work yet that poster still remains in denial? He definately has a vested interest in illegal immigration.
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.
Also paid for by the taxpayers, there are cameras, sensors,
and miles of cable that was supposed to supplement the wall.
That is all just sitting in the desert, as well.

I have no problem with positioning an armed person every 1000 feet.
If they use drones I Hope the drone operators are more skilled than those who were military trained.
All that matters is the country was in better shape when Trump was in office. Because of Trump, Mexico agreed to retain the illegals in Mexico and we were able to get a good amount of the wall built. Joey isn't doing that. Joey doesn't want illegals to stay in Mexico. You can't deny that our border was in a lot better shape when Trump was president. Look at the condition of the border now. It's a complete failure and so is Kamalllla and Mayorkas. They say crazy things like "root causes' and 'the border is closed'. lol...such idiots. If either of their mouths are moving, they are lying. Neither of them give a crap about the border.
Mexico was helping to pay for it via tariffs. I have provided the link many times but these fools still keep spouting that same old line. Politicians can't always keep their campaign promises even when they try. What difference does it make who pays for the wall anyway since it's well needed and very effective? I wonder what price these fools want to put on our nation's security?
I'll bet none of them complained back in 2006 when 700 miles of inferior fencing was built under Obama, compliments of the taxpayer. What hypocrites they are!

You are an American citizen and have the exact same right to your opinion and the freedom to express it as any other citizen. I suspect your opinion on illegals is very informed.
But opinions are just that, opinions.
That does not mean a person with another POV is any less a patriotic American than you.
The landowners willingly gave their land to Texas because they're so fed up with the illegals trashing their land, arriving in mobs they can't do anything about.
Biden is derelict in his duties.
The amount of fentanyl smuggled into this country recently has been enough to kill millions of people.
Fentanyl is the number-one cause of death in people between the ages of 18-45.
Biden has blood on his hands.
Thank goodness TX is standing up for the country.
Sorry you think the wall is stupid.
No, many property owners fought against the taking of their land. If you had a ranch along the Rio Grande would you be happy with a wall separating your property from the river. Building a two mile wall is just grandstanding to give the perception that they are doing something when in reality it does close to nothing.
"The US has enough highway sound barriers (walls) to protect the entire southern border nearly one and a half times.
The US Bureau of Transportation reports that in 2019 the US had 3,332 miles of highway sound barriers (walls) in place around the country."
"The US has enough highway ‘walls’ to cover the Southern Border nearly one and a half times. It’s not the cost or the effort, it’s all about priorities and donations."
Could someone that is for open borders please explain how that is good for the country? In what ways is it good to have open borders to allow all these illegal aliens into the country?
People don't care about being called racist anymore. The word doesn't mean what it used to mean. Now it means "Stop doing what I don't like".
Abbott doesn't care what the White House says. You go Abbott. Keep fighting for us.
