Ha ha ha.....why did He have to do an end around congress to come up with funding?Trump had complete control of government for two years and didn't get it done.
That must sting.
I'll take spineless Republicans for $800.Ha ha ha.....why did He have to do an end around congress to come up with funding?
Trump declared a national emergency in 2019 after the Democrat-led House refused to give him more than $5 billion to fund the border wall, instead offering $1.4 billion to build fencing in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
Border walls do not keep people out.Border walls work, idiot.
DEPLOYED:
As of October 23, 2020, construction of the wall system breaks down as follows:
Bottom line: The Trump administration is well on its way to meet the goal of having 450 miles of new border wall system deployed by December 31, 2020.
- FUNDED: 738 miles
- COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION: 386 miles
- UNDER CONSTRUCTION: 195 miles
- PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE: 157 miles
EFFECTIVE – DISRUPTING CRIMINALS AND SMUGGLERS
The results speak for themselves: illegal drug, border crossings, and human smuggling activities have decreased in areas where barriers are deployed. For example:
San Diego Sector:
Yuma Sector:
- In one short 12 mile section in the San Diego Sector, the wall reduced CBP manpower requirements by 150 agents every 24 hours. That is approximately a $28 million return on investment per year in salaries and benefits. These agents were redeployed to fill resource gaps in other areas of the border -- further improving our security.
- CBP’s San Diego Field Office continues to be a significant source of narcotics seizures. From FY 19 to FY 20, seizures of fentanyl, marijuana, and methamphetamine all increased, with meth seizures jumping at alarming rates in the past several years – demonstrating that the border wall is forcing drug smugglers to where we are best prepared to catch them – our ports of entry.
RGV Sector:
- Illegal entries in areas with new border wall system plummeted over 87% in FY 20 compared to FY 19.
- In FY 19, CBP deployed a temporary barrier, which it has replaced with a permanent system, at the Sanchez Canal, which resulted in illegal entries decreasing in this area by more than 1,000 per month.
- In FY 19, in areas of older existing border fencing or barriers, Yuma Sector apprehended 12 large groups (over a 100 persons) compared to zero large groups in FY 20 with new border wall system.
- Family Unit entries have decreased over 95%
- FY 19: 51,961 vs. FY 20: 2,940
El Paso Sector:
- In a section of RGV (Zone 1) apprehensions have decreased since the construction of the border wall system. This is a location that has never had any border infrastructure.
- CBP has seen 79% decrease in apprehensions in this area (Zone 1) since the completion of border wall system.
- CBP has seen a 26% decrease in narcotics seizures since the completion of border wall system in this area.
- In another section of RGV, prior to construction of the border wall system it was common to see illegal aliens running across a heavily traveled road, putting themselves and members of the community at risk.
- Smugglers are now forced to take their groups further west into areas that are less dense with brush and easier for CBP surveillance cameras to detect illicit activity.
- El Paso Sector has experienced a significant reduction in drug and smuggling activities in areas where the new border wall system was built.
- Most notably, in Zones 14 and 15 of the Santa Teresa (STN) AOR where apprehensions have decreased by 60% and 81% respectively when comparing the last half of fiscal year FY 20 to the first half of FY 20.
- El Paso Station has experienced similar results from the new border wall in Zones 20 – 23, with a reduction in apprehensions of 70% during the same timeframe.
The Border Wall System is Deployed, Effective, and Disrupting Criminals and Smugglers | Homeland Security
Effective physical infrastructure works to secure our Southwest Border. Since the U.S. Border Patrol began constructing border barriers nearly 30 years ago, these barriers have proved to be a critical component in gaining operational control of the border.www.dhs.gov

1. You type lies I linked to the truth.1) The math doesn't work that way. And I don't give a shit what Cancun Cruz barks out of his pie hold. He's a proven liar.
2) Again, the Constitution says differently. And if the asylum requests were handled with haste, ideological rulings by the right leaning court wouldn't be necessary. Gutting those systems..belongs to Republicans.
3) What gate-crashers are you speaking of? Provide proof of these "crashers". Otherwise, you're just repeating alt-right talking points.
4) No, Trump did NOT have the border solved. Instead he let Miller and his crew gut the asylum process. And Republicans are no help on a solution.
Walls won't keep people out. Shutting down the border won't keep people out.
As long as there are jobs here to fill and corporations willing to hire immigrants for those jobs, the cycle continues.

Look leftwinger, as a liberal-Socialist I have some pretty right-wing opinions on a few things.Two dumb OXYEN just above are too crazy to see the charts.........The surge started in 2021 when the border was opened up. Remain in Mexico recinded. Border gates were welded open. Wall construction halted. Materials sold for scrap at 90% loss.
Yet these two CHIRP like holler-moneys....."its' Trumps fault". LAND O' GOSHEN they don't get much more dishonest than these two but maybe for the scum like BlackGaterMac&cheesedicPeeKKKnobsonit or billyoreeally. what a sad state this country is in!

Looks like our border czar will have an opportunity to complete Trump's wall. Oh this must sting.
They funnel them to other ports of entry, decreasing the mass insanity of an open border along its entirety.Border walls do not keep people out.
Our focus should be on providing a path to citizenship (oddly, proposed under Reagan first) for the ones we want to keep, and deporting the undesirables (Biden's been doing a pretty good job of that).

A wall by itself will not stop the invasionBorder walls do not keep people out.
There are literally dozens of articles, some from conservative think tanks that state this.

Also, restoring the speed and efficiency of the asylum process

Zero idea how your three original points became five.1. You type lies I linked to the truth.
2. Again, I linked to the truth and you type lies.
3. Again, I link to the truth, you can't refute it.
View attachment 987691What can the data tell us about unauthorized immigration to the US?
The US has reported nearly 10 million unauthorized border encounters between October 2019 and January 2024.
4. Trump had the border solved. Remain in Mexico until your hearing date.
5. Walls work, ask the CBP.
Why would Joe build it? It’s a waste of money.
