Trump’s wall is as real as his blockbuster revelations about Obama’s birth certificate. It’s just something he said to dupe supporters. The fact that he said he would make Mexico pay for it shows he was joking. How did he propose to do that? This is nothing more than Stephen Colbert.

Where there is no will there’s no wall.

We can’t build the wall because the GOPee types have to be able to say “First we need to secure the borders”. First why can’t we enforce the laws?

"The bad news is that it will be on the Canadian Border."

Probably so. Mexicans would be singing the Batman theme song and running over a wall--even a thirty-foot concrete wall. Many of them have worked and are working in construction. There are many ways for them to get through any physical barrier that could be constructed, and fast.

For the Army, unlike most who speak about politics, I did not do offices. Walls and other obstacles were part of my specialty, though.

The only way to slow the mass migrations down would be to put the crunch on any employers who hire them. But most commie/fascist political/regulator folks, worshipers of Benito that they are, would rather suck up to their government-linked foreign/commie bosses and beat on the slaves.

The truth is that the commie/fascist majority in politics doesn’t care about walls. They really only care about getting big government spenders elected. They use rhetoric about walls to scare the herds toward socialism here.

The answer to the immigration problem is to stop the hiring.

Reuben Navarette makes Geraldo Rivera look like the Democrats’ Miss Congeniality.
And there are freepers as hateful of Trump as this La Raza/`The Race’ agitator-turd.

Everyone but America’s patriots are determined to make Trump swear to support the Joyful Turtle when Yeb is inveigled by Obama-like fraud into the role of the Republican party’s 2016 sacrificial lamb.

However it pans out, the Grand Old Party is as dead as disco.

History will show that the Bush family is as much or more Bush family oriented than US oriented. The latest public perusal of Jeb Bush and his wife is just an indicator. A much bigger story is the Bush’s connection to the Saudi royal family.

We probably will need to enforce the borders first so that the crews building the wall won’t get shot at. I’m all for it.

When the basement is getting flooded the first thing you do is plug the leak

Build the damn wall

Trump ought to contact the top contractors in the country and pay them to summit plans
Not detailed for bid but general ideas and cost time estimates

The EPA is going to hold up the building of the wall that President Trump wants to build? Doesnt the EPA work for the president?

Dig a nice deep moat with caisson style holes 100 feet deep every 10 or 20 feet and if the water disappears someone is digging a tunnel.

So if the DC Cartel really wanted to rid themselves on Trump, they could get this wall dealio going double quick. It sure would take a ton of wind out of Trumps sails.

The narcotraficantes are building very well engineered tunnels to bring drugs into the US. But you cannot smuggle people through those tunnels because someone will blab. Typically after these tunnels are constructed the laborers are killed to preserve secrecy.

Try barbed wire and land mines, patrolling armed gunships with free fire zones along a no man`s land running the length of the border.

I don’t want a stupid wall, I want a damn serious wall, and I am not interested in debating immigration at all.

And once the environmentalists and the EPA get involved, it’s nearly impossible.

Not if they're shuttered...

“But they just wish Congress didn’t waste so much time and political capital on debating the fence as if it were a cure-all for illegal immigration.”

WHO THE HELL SAYS that a wall is a “cure-all”? We know that we still need to ENFORCE the the law down there.

Also, as someone here has said, a wall is a “force multiplier”...and it is certainly that.

“The only way to put a dent in illegal immigration is to penalize employers. No jobs, no illegal immigrants. The trouble is, in both political parties, there is no appetite...”

He’s close here, let me add three words:

“The only way to put a dent in illegal immigration is to penalize employers. No jobs, no illegal immigrants. The trouble is, in THE LEADERSHIP OF both political parties, there is no appetite...”
