Kelly Admits Trump Doesn't Really Want to Build a 'Wall'

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘White House Chief of Staff John Kelly told The Los Angeles Times that the Trump administration no longer wants to build a wall along the southern U.S. border with Mexico.

“To be honest, it’s not a wall,” Kelly told the Times, and then added:

“The president still says ‘wall’ — oftentimes frankly he’ll say ‘barrier’ or ‘fencing,’ now he’s tended toward steel slats. But we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration, when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it.”

The former Marine general also admitted that Customs and Border Protection Agents told him during his tenure as Homeland Security secretary that they really don’t want a wall. They said they do need physical barriers in some areas, but expressed a desire for new technology and additional personnel as a primary emphasis for improved border security.’

And new technology and additional personnel is exactly what Democrats support funding.

Personally, I don't care if you call it a wall or a fence or steel slats.

It needs to be funded and erected now, today, asap. ....

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Okay, not a wall but a barrier of some sort that keeps tens of thousands of people with diseases, criminal records
and possible gang affiliations out. I'm not seeing a big distinction here.
I've heard Trump himself talk about metal slats or some such thing in this wall. So what?

A slow day for pathological Trump haters.

Yeah it matters not what it's called, just as long as the situation is seriously put under control. The word wall is easy to identify the cause for millions, so the word is used widely to identify the problem needing corrected down on the southern border.

As long as it keeps them out or makes it more difficult...........I don't give a damn what they call it.

They have a habit of lying, or twisting words for their own benefit. You don’t care? Fine, read them. I won’t, just as I wouldn’t seek out slate, think progress, infowars, etc., for any truthful information. Here is one of his good ones, funny that is, for. 2015-

“Donald Trump Falls Apart After Chuck Todd Goes Off On Him For His 9/11 Lies”

Scott Walker’s History Exposes a Dark, Illegal Past Behind The Choir Boy Face. Scott Walker was never charged with anything
Scott Walker Gets Fooled Again By Believing Fox's Fake Poll Numbers He was re-elected.
Coming Soon to a Bedroom Near You: GOP Sperm Troopers Haven’t found any in my bedroom.
Now, if that is who want to believe, go right on ahead. More power to you, but warning, they may make you look foolish if you repeat them.
