No, he's a realist and doesn't want to waste the money. Walls won't stop the desperate. America has always been the land of the free and opportunity.
Holy smokes!
> "He's a realist and doesn't want to waste the money":
The amount of money it would cost to hypothetically finish the wall is 0.002% of the US annual budget, and that's being generous in terms of inflation as well as those oh-so-reliable cost-overruns. Btw, Biden's extant and desired budgetary malfeasance yields an amount that's an order of magnitude greater than the cost of the wall annually in just interest payments on the debt.
> "Walls don't stop the desperate."
Walls are imperfect physical deterrents, not inviolable stop-measures. In tandem with modern monitoring and personnel capacity, they're a significant part of a comprehensive solution. This is literally the basis for securing governmental facilities — and to a lesser extent, private properties — broadly writ.
> "America has always been the land of the free and opportunity."
This is much more a misrepresented slogan than a function of evolving practical reality over the course of the nation's history — particularly post- graduated instantiation of eventualities such as the proverbial welfare state. There's also the brute fact that any nation incapable of controlling its borders isn't a nation. I've yet to meet anybody, for example, even among the abject 'bleeding heart' crowd, that deliberately leaves the doors of their private residence unlocked or open with the espoused expectation that any and all strangers are free to enter and entreat themselves to the property and/or person(s) of their immediate desires.
So why aren’t states helping their own citizens then. What are the governors in poor states like Mississippi doing. And you really have no idea what these illegals do for our country and our economy. Educate yourself
How is adding millions of poor illegals to the country and devoting all sorts of funding and resources to them going to help the plight of the poor living is Mississippi? You aren't making sense, you are just rambling like Biden. And please educate yourself on proper punctuation.
I'm sorry, but anyone who says "I can never accept [fill in the blank] as president" is flagrantly un-American.
The whole basis of America, of democracy. entails a willingness to lose, to do your best to be a good sport, to wait your turn until the next election.
And, actually, yes, the statements are very deniable. Starting with the fact that we do not have open borders. There may be more people coming in than you would like - but that's not the same thing. (Funny how people like to brag that they consider America the best country in the world, but then are dismayed when people want to come here.)
This.

My Latin teacher was a Republican. But when the chips were down, she understood the basic idea of acknowledging the US president.

They take more than they give, and that is a fact.
No one has to like it, but it is reality. A refusal to accept reality is one of the cognitive "viruses" that infected this country over the last 8 years.
We all see what is going on politically and the destruction of race relations,our justice system and our culture. We have Supreme Court Justices that cannot even tell us what a woman is.
We have open borders. Millions of people from around the world coming in.The destruction of America is a planned event.
When I was in high school, Jimmy Carter was elected.
Same here.

We used to understand this.
Growing up, my town was...I would guess...about 2/3 R and 1/3 D, and I'd guess now is the opposite of that.
The attorney mother of one of my classmates was appointed to a pretty high up position in the Carter Administration, and she left him in the house 2800-2900 miles away until he left for college (my alma mater is a top 1% public high school in the SF Bay Area). He was funny looking guy, but man he was witty....and that wit captured a pretty cheerleader. We definitely had different types of people in school. We had a few early punk rockers. And we had one guy who could best be described as a forerunner of Alex P. Keaton (and he ended up becoming the head partner for North America for what was then the largest law firm in the world).
people say they cant accept, I cant since regan, our cream of the crop is more, its my turn now. the last six president just plain suck
Regan was the Secretary of the Treasury and White House Chief of Staff.
Reagan was the POTUS.
