Only at the Southern Border. They do work at the White House, the Capitol, and President Biden's beach house, however...

Well, the variance passed. We knew it would, so now the beach home will look like a prison.

Variances get passed everywhere in the country. It's not just the Big Guy getting what he wants.

Well he probably spends more time at his vacation house - than he spends in the WH.

How much are taxpayers paying to ship his soggy bottom - to and fro every weekend?

They got to keep him sheltered you know.

"Insurrectionist nutters"? You mean, blm antifa? When they threatened to burn the WH, Capitol and other buildings in DC down and threatened to kill the cops, the persons in senate/congress, the president and vice president...and actually set the church on fire? Those "insurrectionist nutters"?

Because the border is 1,954 miles long.
Who is saying it needs to go the whole length of the border?

Because fencing off the Rio Grande means every puma/mountain lion/critter of any kind on our side of the border doesn't get water anymore, doh!
Wild cats and other smallish animals can get through the slats. Have you ever seen a cat squeeze through a picket fence?

Quote:
Because it would run right through an Indian reservation, in some cases through the middle of somebody's house on those reservations. Some people own land that is jointly on both sides of the border.
Eminent domain. It sucks but it's been being used for decades. Do you like being able to drive your car down a street or highway, or having drinking water, electric, etc? Should we rip all of that out throughout our country and give the land back to those it was taken from to build the infrastructure? Or, are you a hypocrite?

Quote:
Because it's a stupid idea in the first place, anybody with a shovel can get under it.
Proof? Why don't you take your shovel to the border and film yourself doing exactly that, under a section of wall that was built under Trump? Then come back and show us your video. What say you?

Will he leave the fence off on the southern side?

It would if you lived in Delaware, especially when he's clogging up the beach with security personnel, landing his helicopter in a "safe" area, jogging (HA, HA) on the beach, and disrupting our visits to our beach.

Does anyone have a photo of this "security fence". I've searched for anything providing that or showing the plans for the fence and found nada (oops, I didn't mean to offend non Spanish speaking folks!) other than the typical right wing articles. The Bidens have dogs. Lots of people put up fences to keep their dogs in. It's a government contract, so the cost isn't surprise at all.
