And it was more than just building a complete border wall.

The article stated Stephen Miller wanted to do it. He had no standing to do this and not even Trump would have been stupid enough to allow Miller run something like this.

And this is old news.

If the president sends active-duty Army troops to the border without congressional approval, he will be acting in violation of federal law.

Miller, Esper, and the Pentagon didn't have time to protect our border. They were too busy trying to turn Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria into good little Democrats, with their nation-building.

But at least Trump did get a deal with Mexico the previous year, to have them station 15,000 of their troops along the border.

Building 40 miles of wall along a 2,000 mile long border isn't securing it.

The only way to secure the border is to put the people who employ illegal migrants in prison and give them harsh fines like $20,000 for each illegal migrant in their employ. A part of the fine will go to the whistle blower who turns the employer in.

Most of these employers are Republican businessmen who like the low wages illegal immigrants work for.

Suppose you wanted to build a nice high fence around your back yard because the local thugs keep stealing your shit. You get started by digging some post holes. But then your neighbors start suing you to stop construction because they didn't believe you should have a fence around your yard. Then you get caught up in court battles. And then you find that the bank that was going to loan you the money for the fence, sided up with your neighbors and wouldn't loan you the money.

So you're shit out of luck. You get your lawnmower stolen. You get your BBQ grill stolen. You get your lawn furniture stolen. Eventually, someone breaks into your house, and helps themselves to everything you own.

I have an army of an armed militia of border patrol agents guarding the border.

Isn't it ironic the Deep State shut this plan down.

This is covered over and over. But you and others know this but still insist.

To make the comparison valid you have to argue that the homeowner wants to put a fence around a portion of his back yard and expects that to keep people out.

Isn't it ironic the Deep State shut this plan down.

Republicans held the House and Senate the first two years of trump's term.

They refused to give trump the money for the wall. trump had to take the money from the defense budget.

That's the deep state for you.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Lefties, you want an open border to import voters.

Its odd that Biden is more concerned about the Ukraine-Russia border more than our own fucking border with Mexico.

That says it all about the left. They are intentionally destroying the US for their own personal power and wealth.

Awww... the poor guy. No one gives him a break. Next time, he should run for President.

Prove that illegal aliens vote and who they voted for or STFU.

How does a wall at the southern border keep anyone out, if it's been allowed to fall into disarray throughout the Presidents previous to Trump? You can't seriously tell me that had Trump won another term and completed more of the all, that it wouldn't have helped to stop the flow of illegals, drugs, human smuggling, and gun-running, Nobody is that naive.

So what was the objection you people had to upgrading, repairing, and building new sections on the border wall? That we really didn't need that? That it was "too expensive"?

So now you have idiots in DC who have passed the biggest spending bills in this country's history and yet, a small amount of pocket change is too much to protect your own border. With millions of illegals and drugs pouring into the country, you get what you deserve.

One can not build a wall all along the southern border and that still leaves three borders open.

Now if you wish to address my point, great. I'm sure you won't.

Huh? A border wall will stop the flow of illegal immigrants.

I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Every border on earth is important to lefties except the US Mexico border.

You people are hysterical.

Enact a new tax on tequila and soccer tickets. Have that money pay for the border wall. It will come from Mexican-Americans.
