Its also worth noting the Great Wall of Trump along the Southern Border paid for by Mexico has now morphed into some fences and walls here or there...
Honestly even talking about what we're talking about being a "wall" at this point is stupid... its not. But its what the masses demand.

Yes, because libs started charging that the word “wall” is now racist.

But that isn't what this is about because Trump has sold this as a great big wall along the southern border and his supporters are holding him to that. It was never realistic or attainable. Neither was Mexico EVER paying for it.
Trump got his money for the wall once and then moved the goalposts... now with a Democrat House he thinks he can flex... he can't.
The wall was a dumb sales pitch eaten up by a sizeable portion of Trump's base as fact... he has to try and honor that now and he can't.
Remember when the wall was going to stretch the whole southern border? I do.

All those things cost more than walls.
We have walls all over the place. Reason? They work.

A lot of the high tech equipment people are calling for will also go ON the walls.
Things like cameras, machine guns......
Stll, minefields are cheaper and more reliable.
And we can buy them that look like stepping stones.

Which libs are we talking about? First time I heard that, and I always listen NPR (the only truly fair and balanced news on the radio by any measure) in the car.

I oppose the wall because the
INSURANCE PLAN
tells me that I should.

Nope.
Where we use the ones that look like stepping stones, we put KEEP OFF THE GRASS signs in multiple languages.

Minefields are frowned upon and old school. The country needs to be more progressive using technology such as laser guns and particle beam ray guns.

Just look at the middle columns - Homicide.

Burls, Burls, Burls....what are we going to do with you?
Once again, you get so close to the boat, then fall in the lake trying to board.
YOU posted some stuff as facts that everyone pointed out were not relevant to the topic being discussed.
I posted a facts and followed it up with sarcasm.
If you want to keep up around here, you're gonna need a bigger boat.

Shamelessly plagiarized from another website:
"If Democrats thought for one minute that illegals were voting Republican, you'd be able to see the border wall from outer space."

Donald J. Trump tweet today
"We are not even into February and the cost of illegal immigration
so far this year is $18,957,495,186.00.
Cost Friday was $603,331,392.00. There are at least 25,772,342
illegal aliens not the 11,000,000 that has been reported for years,
in our Country. So ridiculous! DHS.
Nope not a problem.

Nancy's adoptees, MS-13s motto "mota, viola,controla"

Who can find some "Divinity" in that? Oh the dignity!

We can't afford 5 billion but and we will spend 25 billion to avoid it!
Liberal math.
