Holy Guacamole, The Wall is Obsolete Before It’s Even Built!

[Teach]

When I was a boy growing up in Boston’s Inner-City, I lived on a major avenue that funneled cars in and out of downtown Boston. Night and day, especially in the summer, the noise of the cars whizzing by our apartment created an endless, non-stop din (The noise the cars made was so ingrained in my mind that when our family took a week’s vacation in The Berkshires, I couldn’t sleep – too quiet!).

Well, by the time I entered middle school (back then, we called it junior high) the state of Massachusetts began building what we call The Southeast Expressway (it started in cities south of Boston, such as Quincy, Milton and Braintree) and eventually linked up with the downtown portion of highway that was called The Central Artery.

In any event, even before the highway was completed, the Southeast Expressway and the accompanying Central Artery were obsolete. Those major thoroughfares could not handle the traffic flow of the vast number of cars that used those roads getting in and out of Boston. Morning and evening rush hours were particularly bad. Gridlock was, and still is, an everyday occurrence.

Yes, my feeling is the same for the planned wall between the U.S. and Mexico, that has yet to be built. You may have heard of the term: “overstayers”. These are people who come in from other countries, let’s say, for example, from Mexico – usually by plane - and “overstay” their visas. Fact (not be confused with an alternative fact): in 2015, 500,000 visitors from foreign countries overstayed their visas. The so-called “visa overstays” represent an estimated 40% of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in this country.

In addition, there are already about 30 tunnels (I saw this on a CNN segment) alone in the Tijuana-Chula Vista area. Many of these tunnels are quite elaborate. And, that’s just in the San Diego area. There must be countless other tunnels all along the border.

Personally, I believe it would be a terrible waste if the American taxpayer were stuck for a huge tax bill in the construction of this wall; oh, I’m sorry, that’s right, Mexico’s going to pay for it. What do we do if they don’t pay up, send Marines into Mexico like we did with some Caribbean nations when they weren’t able to pay their debts.

Finally, you wouldn’t think there’d be much of a connection between an outmoded road system leading in and out of downtown Boston and a yet to be built wall on the border between the United States and Mexico, but, in my opinion, I believe there is.

Maybe we should just get rid of the border patrol agents too. There is more many saved for the taxpayers.

Who said LSD was out of favor?

The anti-American fool Obama prevented the border agents from doing their job. Now that we finally have a commander in chief we are going to let our border agents do what they are trained to do, no restrictions and let's see the results.

I've become a fan of good guacamole. Its good stuff and healthy, albeit with a lot of calories. I go to this place by work, Elvez Burrito Bar, its like Chipolate but better, it is a dollar extra for Guac but I'm like, bring it it on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guacamole


Avocados were first cultivated in South Central Mexico to Central America and as far south as Peru.[6] In the early 1900s, avocados frequently went by the name alligator pear.[6]

The Hass avocado is the most popular varietal of avocado and is named after postal worker Rudolph Hass, who purchased the seedling in 1926 from a California farmer and patented it in 1935.[7]

Guacamole has increased avocado sales in the US, especially on Super Bowl Sunday and Cinco de Mayo.[8] The rising consumption of guacamole has increased due to the U.S. government lifting a ban on avocado imports in the 1900s and the growth of the U.S. Latino population.[9]

Hey, Teach, don't you know that the "wall" was obsolete way back in 2006 when the Secure Fence Act was passed and such notable dem senators as Obama, Clinton, Biden and Schumer, to mention a few, voted in favor of its construction?

[Tom]

Well, Boxie, those guys are all obsolete....except of courser for UpChuck Schumer, who was promoted to HEAD Clown!

The way you structured this sentence...it looks as if Mr. Trump is the 10 claimer.
