But the wall is a giant smokescreen, a manufactured crisis to distract you from the real issues.
People are so easily manipulated.
Look, the border is on fire ! OMG we are in danger do what I say or people are going to die. Really.

And the orange crybaby does not care about the well-being of Americans if his whims are not granted. He has no problem taking the country hostage. But that works only as long as you allow him to set the political agenda.

How long you guys will you be willing to work without pay, assuming you can even afford to forgo your monthly paycheck ?

A manufactured crisis.... zzzzzzzzzzz...

And obviously a Trump hating Liberal with no common sense... and zero brains as an engineer! Must have got her degree from a Dollar Store!

The biggest change in the last 24 hours?, You can hear the Democrats saying "Oh Sh&t he is more serious about this than we thought"

 

[enlytend]

He's serious about this because 1) He wants a YUUUUGE monument with his name on it 2) He probably promised the contract(s) to someone he owes money to 3) Nobody ever said "no" to him so he's pitching a tantrum.

(parenting tip for those of you with kids - its fine to give them things and teach them to win, but make sure they also lose and hear "no" sometimes.)

If he declares an emergency the courts will smack it down. Something that will take a decade or more to build isn't an "emergency" - it's like drafting plans to build a new firehouse when your house is on fire.

Ridiculous. Need to get those people back to work - their work is unrelated to the wall argument. Get the government up and running, then hash it out. The shutdown is negatively affecting immigration security because currently the immigration courts are dismissing cases due to lack of personnel.

For the record, I have yet to hear anyone say that...

liberals demanding we do nothing b/c walls don't work, the problem is too small;

This engineers educated opinion is not a study based on observation, it's a conclusion based on a political narrative. The articles she / you site are also opinions using words like "suggest".

1) Current walls on the border work.

2) Construction / materials can be adjusted for the terrain, environmental requirements

3) Doing nothing will make things worse.

Happy reading!

Also this just in - $1.7 million of Fentanyl seized at the Port of Philadelphia. For those who may be map-challenged, that is not on our southern border.

... news from the resistance...

Ridiculous. Need to get those people back to work - their work is unrelated to the wall argument. Get the government up and running, then hash it out.

That's a lie... Nancy and Chuck are NOT willing to negotiate or to compromise. They have no offers on the table. They are experienced liars!

The biggest problem liberals have is credibility. They've been lying about how many people are crossing the border, how many illegal immigrants are in jail, how many are in the country.

Democrat leadership and media had a melt down when President Trump said we would add the question of citizenship back to the census. The ONLY reason to not ask that question is to hide the real number of people living in the USA illegally.

 

[mr-x]

If democrats cared about people from other countries that live here illegally, they would negotiate a deal to secure the border in exchange for some type of legal recognition.

Not that hard.

Open Borders forever and ever and ever….

As Trump said last night;

“Some have suggested a barrier is immoral, then why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences, and gates around their homes? They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside. The only thing that is immoral is the politicians do nothing and continue to allow more innocent people to be so horribly victimized.

To those who refuse to compromise in the name of border security, I would ask: Imagine if it was your child, your husband, or your wife, whose life was so cruelly shattered and totally broken?

I am guessing if there is a stated emergency at the border, Roger won't be getting a permit.

Probably can do it on the Mexico side no problem

The Democrats are building their own wall. It’s a growing wall of big government statism, endless war, globalism, and higher taxes that race toward socialism.

Por favor, entra. Necesitamos nuevos votantes para 2020!

For those that don't know, that's a combo of the Vegas sign and the south of border tourist trap sign lol

And currently the majority of illegals are visa overstays, not border hoppers...



She’s just a squeaky wheel. The right is giving her far more attention than she deserves, which is just prolonging her 15 minutes of fame. She’ll lose credibility if she doesn’t produce for her constituents.



Always liked languages and picked them up easily. Polyglots run in my family. Started learning Spanish in middle school (along with German) and never dropped it. Dabble in a few others. Useful if you travel too. More Americans should try it - Spanish is an easy one.



Hmm I wonder? Lots of Latinos in NY. Former NY mayor Bloomberg speaks Spanish ...with a VERY strong “Noo Yawk” accent. Always did part of his public addresses in Spanish. The accent was hilarious, but good for him for trying.

I understand that most of the Illegals accounted for are Visa Overstays, but are they above the law???

If I get a moving violation by the police, I don’t pay my ticket, I will 100% absolutely have a warrant issued for my arrest, and the police will come to my house and work if necessary to serve it and take me to jail.

So, are we saying an American born citizen is at large for a speeding ticket, but the Illegals that do not refile and get a visa extension are above me??? And can carry on thier live with out consequences for breaking federal law.

That is my only issue with this, and if you have ever been taken to jail and had to stay an length of time, I am sure you would agree with me on this topic

This is why you do tests, then redesign
