Out of respect for Wizard I will mention...because he likes updates on the progress of how the wall is doing..We will be at 300 miles of new wall construction sometime in the next week or two...Dam..for starting kinda late , thats kicking some ass..I think it is paying off having a builder in charge of the big shit...TRUMP 2020 PS....I tried to bring back my old thread but it got locked down for some reason and its kinda important to know that the new trade deals are funding stuff thats productive..imo
That must of been a bunch of the border vehicle barriers that you can walk around that they replaced with a real wall..Is that what you are referring to?
I live in Mexico and I wonder if the wall would affect the thousands of Americans who come here to get healthcare because the US health system is a joke.
i'm taking a guess but i'm guessing no. i wonder if Mexico had a wall on its southern border, or if Mexico had a robust national defense machine to include the seas and ports i wonder if the US would actually need a wall between Mexico and the US. again i'm guessing but i'm gonna guess no. as to "our wall", i am quite confident had congress appropriately funded in a timely fashion the construction of "our wall" it would now span even more miles than it currently does.
Trumps worried about those pesky Mexicans when they're the only folks that still have a job and not looting and burning buildings and killing each other.
Mexico has those things, but it's not like you can expect other countries to enforce your country's immigration laws. The best thing to do is just let them get to Canada. Canada used to deny asylum to people who came through the US because you have to seek asylum in the first safe country you enter. But they recently struck that rule, saying the US is no longer a safe country.
THATS what I said!! Even tall 100’ high towers spread 1/4 mile apart with motion detector lasers that’ll turn ya to ash. We’d probably only have to turn a small amount of people to ash before the word spreads. Hell - we could probably just shut them off most of the time once folks are simply scared enough. Or - maybe the worms from Tremors? Wall too expensive and can be breached. j
when we had to fly a new radio over a ground exercise, it was cheaper for us to contract a private company providing a twin engine plane and pilot for a few months.... and we worked for the Navy/ Marines! drones require an incredible amount ($$$ + six full time specialists) of ground support to fly.
bingo! and that's why "we" want a wall. because "we" do not expect another country to enforce our immigration laws. "we" will elect someone who wants a wall and who will enforce the immigration laws in place. but you were talking about the wall and healthcare. i dont think a wall will stop that. i'm 100% in support of ensuring people that come to our country to work, raise a family, and enjoy all the opportunity America has to offer do so legally. i dont want illegal "anybody" running around in the US. if that means we build a wall and arm it with robots and drones i'm ok with that. no problem. if people want to immigrate legally i'm 100% supportive of that. people that immigrate legally and obtain citizenship deserve every equal opportunity there is. live large!
Exactly. Not only that but its completely in their best interest to do so - even if it were to take a few years and which I’m guessing it would these days. I have zero issues with the Spanish neighbors to the south wanting to make their life here. They’re hardworking folks and man they don’t complain like half the spoiled Americans do - but they’ve got to do it the right way and I’ll welcome them to do so. J
You don't just dig a tunnel with a bucket and a spoon. It requires some engineering. Today, tunnels are discovered and filled in faster than new ones can be built. Ground sensors can detect tunnel activity as well. It's next to a non issue altogether. Although, it was a really good idea back in the day.
Hey Viking ...Actually it has a bunch of big beautiful doors all along the border..My mother lives in Yuma in the winters and she walks over to Mexico all the time...Back and forth through the door..They have always been there but I believe all you need is a passport.
i haven't really looked into "the wall's" progress. from what i gather there was no funding of much significance and as someone pointed out there was a lot or repair and replacement of existing wall which is a great thing. i dont see trump's so-called "failure to deliver" at play here. the wall would be built if there was money to build it. as for " mexico paying for it" that would have been in the form of import taxes for years to come. iow, "mexico will pay for the wall" but the US will finance it. what difference does it make now how much it costs? haha the Treasury has pumped trillions of debt onto the taxpayers back since March of this year. what's another $500B - $1T? phhhhht! build it. turn it over to the two or three private equity funds that control about 5% of the US GDP. between the top 2 or 3, with Blackstone leading the charge, they own 35,000 US companies representing about 25 million US jobs. the new "too big to fail" private hedge fund companies. they'll get it built with US taxpayers debt. that's what they do - create wealth for a few from the debts of millions. i digress.
