Acosta Proves Border Wall Works

[Norman]

The wall will likely pay itself back in the first year, regardless if we get any money from Mexico or not.

Trump said the wall was built - is it paying for itself or is there a national emergency ????????

HUH ?

700 miles of wall is built, he's asking for another 350 miles. You're another one of the leftists with his eyes closed while watching news on tv.

Only about 580 miles are built, and a lot of that is very shitty wall patched together from military surplus runway mats, and they are only 10 foot high.

The leftists here have been wrong again and again and again... and again.

Why are they continuing the temper tantrum theater and not just admitting the obvious - walls work and we need one, and it's possible to build it.

So do multi level fences and they actually work a bit better. Plus, the multi layered fencing is a fraction of the cost of what Trump proposes. But, hey, it works well for the Israelis. Maybe you should learn from them.

I think the engineers working there are quite adequate at determining what kind of wall is the most effective. Why are you constantly trying to play one?

The left is lying about this issue. The can't defend their position, they have no answer for all the dead Americans, so they just deny that there is a problem and lie.

Bad News for you. That scare tactic has just about worn out it's welcome. In fact, many are trying to get Romney to run in 2020 if Biden decides to run. For the first time in a couple of decades, two people running that will makes us all actually pay attention to what they are saying and finally have to vote for the best person not the least evil of the two.

[mudwhistle]

LOL okay so this Acosta retard goes down to the boarder and films a video next to a steel slat wall, and claims the wall isn't working because there are no illegals around. Thus proving the wall is effective. Now the poor guy is being mocked in social media without mercy.

CNN’s Jim Acosta mocked for accidentally proving that border walls work

Word has it in the halls of higher learning Liberal Arts and Journalism are where the marginal students tend to go. They are nothing like the hard sciences like Chemistry and Physics.

The only place Trump is having a wall installed is in San Diego and it's actually a replacement for the inner multi layered Security Border Fence. Funny, he hasn't actually had a single inch of new wall built even though it's been allocated to his budget for the last 2 years. What's even funnier is that the fencing he's replacing isn't in that bad a shape but it's right across from one of the Richy Rich neighborhoods in Mexico. You know a place there is hardly any border crossing attempts because that Richy Rich Mexican Neighborhood has a high degree of Police and private security because these folks are as rich as Trump. Yet, just down the road is an area that also has one of these multi layered fences and it's being cut to ribbons so the illegals can go 10 feet inside the wall and hide under trucks. But it's not right across from any rich peoples homes.

Actually, there are some areas that got walls while most got the multi layered fencing. Sounds to me that it's YOU and your Orange Buddy that are trying to override the Engineers. But as usual, you always blame your bad habits on someone else so maybe we won't notice that you have a bad habit. Hate to break it to you, cupcake, we noticed.

 

[Vandalshandle]

Nope! No people here. The wall is working!

 

[bripat9643]

AND the $500 billion we save each year on illegals related costs...yeah another Trump tax cut!

There is a total of 733 miles built including walls and multi layer fences. Funny, the Multi layered Fences actually work better than the single Wall does. Neither one is perfect but the multi layer fence buys the border patrol the time to get to the scene. Border security is more than just a wall. Yah, I know, what you see when I type that is Wall is more than just a wall.

Mexico–United States barrier - Wikipedia

As of January 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that it had more than 580 miles (930 km) of barriers in place.

Here's what most of the wall consists of:

There's only one small section near San Diego that consists of "multilayered fences."

Sorry, but I won't say the name that should not be uttered anymore. You can if you wish but not me. Suffice to say, we had the choice between Lucifer and the Devil and settle for the Devil hoping that he was better than we thought. We were wrong. He's worse.

A look at status of Trump's US-Mexico border wall
Nomaan Merchant and Colleen Long, Associated Press

Updated 7:02 am CST, Sunday, December 23, 2018

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Democratic lawmakers are in a standoff over funding the government, and the main sticking point is Trump's demand for $5 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.


Trump said during the campaign he was going to make Mexico pay for the barrier — but now he's asking U.S. taxpayers to fund construction. If there's no agreement, a partial government shutdown begins at midnight Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Democratic lawmakers are in a standoff over funding the government, and the main sticking point is Trump's demand for $5 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.


Trump said during the campaign he was going to make Mexico pay for the barrier — but now he's asking U.S. taxpayers to fund construction. If there's no agreement, a partial government shutdown begins at midnight Friday.



Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders signaled on Tuesday that Trump may be willing to work with Congress to avert a shutdown.

Here's a look at the status of wall.

IS IT A WALL OR A FENCE?

In Washington, it depends on who you ask. The president, seeking to show progress on one of his signature campaign promises, has repeatedly said he's begun construction on the wall with smaller amounts of money that Congress approved for border security. The Democrats, seeking to prove they haven't caved to Trump, say they would only fund improvements to border security that include fencing.

Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan called it a "border wall system" with Mexico that would include natural barriers and steel fencing that agents can see through.

Trump tweeted late Tuesday that his administration was building "artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it."

The March funding bill, passed with support from both parties, funded construction that greatly resembles some form of wall.

It included $641 million for 33 miles of construction in South Texas' Rio Grande Valley, the busiest area for illegal crossings. In one section, U.S. Customs and Border Protection wants to install 18-foot-tall bollards with narrow spacing between each post.

According to an online solicitation, the agency plans to install the bollards atop "a concrete wall to the approximate height of the levee crest." In some places, the wall and the bollards would exceed 30 feet.

Contracts have been awarded to build some 33 miles (53 kilometers) of wall in the Rio Grande Valley. Construction is scheduled to start in February. A federal judge last week ordered two hold-out landowners to allow surveyors onto their property after the government took them to court.

___

WHAT IS ALREADY CONSTRUCTED?

Overall some type of barrier runs along about 685 miles (1,046 kilometers) of the 1,954-mile (3,126-kilometer) border.

But 654 miles (1,052 kilometers) came before Trump took office, constructed under the Secure Fence Act during the Bush administration.

As Republicans have since pointed out, a majority of Democrats in the Senate voted for the act, including then-Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

In budget year 2017, Congress provided $292 million to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to build a steel-bollard wall to replace "ineffective" barrier in Southern California, New Mexico and far West Texas.

More than 31 of 40 miles have been constructed, and nine remaining miles are scheduled to be completed by 2019. Construction began on 4 miles (6 kilometers) in far West Texas and New Mexico, and 14 miles (22.4 kilometers) of replacement in San Diego should be done by May 2019.

___

ECOLOGY CONCERNS

Several groups have filed lawsuits challenging the administration's waivers of environmental laws to build more quickly.

The Department of Homeland Security has used authority received in 2005 to bypass reviews and regulations of border wall construction under the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and two dozen other laws.

In several places, planned construction would cut through protected areas or habitat for endangered species. One conservation-related legal challenge was heard on Tuesday in federal court in Washington. The groups argue the project in New Mexico would displace rare wildlife, including the aplomado falcon and Mexican gray wolf.

In South Texas, almost 70 percent of the land at the National Butterfly Center, which provides habitat to migrating species, including monarchs, would be cut off by the planned barrier. The nonprofit that operates the butterfly center has also sued.

So far, no judge has stopped the government from moving forward.

___

WHAT WOULD THE GOVERNMENT DO WITH THAT $5 BILLION?

Homeland Security officials said they would combine previous funding to construct 330 miles of a "border-wall system" along the Mexican border, including 104 miles in the Rio Grande Valley.

Sanders said on Fox News on Tuesday there are "other ways that we can get to that $5 billion," including one bill she says would provide $26 billion in border security, including $1.6 billion for the wall.

Sanders did not deny that the White House was exploring a way to use Defense Department funds for the remaining cost of the wall.

She said there were "a number of different funding sources" that could be used, and she expected they could find a legal way to use defense money.

Trump administration officials have been discussing the possibility of using Defense Department funding as a way around a shut down, but there are legal and congressional hurdles.

She said: "At the end of the day, we don't want to shut down the government. We want to shut down the border from illegal immigration."

The leftists here have been wrong again and again and again... and again.

Why are they continuing the temper tantrum theater and not just admitting the obvious - walls work and we need one, and it's possible to build it.

The left is lying about this issue. The can't defend their position, they have no answer for all the dead Americans, so they just deny that there is a problem and lie.

Bad News for you. That scare tactic has just about worn out it's welcome. In fact, many are trying to get Romney to run in 2020 if Biden decides to run. For the first time in a couple of decades, two people running that will makes us all actually pay attention to what they are saying and finally have to vote for the best person not the least evil of the two.

Who is the other person besides Trump?

Sorry, but I won't say the name that should not be uttered anymore. You can if you wish but not me. Suffice to say, we had the choice between Lucifer and the Devil and settle for the Devil hoping that he was better than we thought. We were wrong. He's worse.

Oh, you poor pitiful creature. Do you need your binky?

he thinks trump vetoed a bill. that's how fking stupid these fks really are. the narrative never follows the facts. never.

LOL okay so this Acosta retard goes down to the boarder and films a video next to a steel slat wall, and claims the wall isn't working because there are no illegals around. Thus proving the wall is effective. Now the poor guy is being mocked in social media without mercy.

CNN’s Jim Acosta mocked for accidentally proving that border walls work

I’ve always said the best advertisement for conservatives is to just give regressives a microphone.

Nancy and Chucky proved that last night.
Jim “the propagandist” Acosta proved it today.

because the facts never back their side. it is really that simple.
