The border wall Donald Trump wants (mostly) exists.

Newsflash to both Donald Trump and Ann Coulter: that wall you’re saying the U.S. needs to build along its border with Mexico…it mostly exists. There aren’t any lasers, a shark-filled moat, or auto-turrets, but it’s there. Don’t believe me? Here it is in Mexicali, California.



And Arizona.



And New Mexico.

The much-derided Alex Jones' Infowars team showed visual proof that our existing border containment is a sick joke months ago.

Illegal immigration has also been totally stopped, ISIS members are no longer sneaking across the border, and drug cartel leaders have decided to spend their time doing good works. See how easy that is?

Oh, I see... so all those people crossing are coming through fences?

Is this moron expecting us to believe that the ENTIRE fence looks like this for all 700 miles?

Walls don’t stop all, but a lot, and they delay and that allows for detection and interception.

Now, add the weight of water and personal items and the 35-50lb backpack of marijuana they are carrying as payment to the cartels to get them into the US. . .how much time?

And, speaking with a BP Sector guys, these women were detected, observed and recorded. .and laughed at for their stupidity.

The wall building program should begin by ONLY hiring illegals.

When they don't show up to apply, let it be known that the "jobs Americans won't do" mantra is dead, and hire nothing but natural born citizens.

Besides, no wall is 100% effective. See the Berlin Wall and the wall along the North Korea/South Korea boundary, for example.

Walls to to slow them down and detect, and Agents have time to intercept.

Alligators are not really that dangerous. They are very territorial, so their numbers are pretty thin. They don’t kill until they are hungry. So if you need to cross, just throw a chicken at one and you can swim right on over. I live in NC. We have a lot of them and we haven’t had anyone killed in many years.

And that is what the “virtual wall” was going to do.

The GOP-e doesn’t want a secure border any more than the Democrats.
Walls, fences & guards—and guns—work. That’s why they have them around their own homes and on the persons of their bodyguards.
They just don’t want us to have them.

True but whatever we have now is more like a screen door on a submarine.

Nail on the head!

Occasionally we would have a cow that just *had* to get through, over or under any fence we put up.

Those cows usually ended up in the freezer or sold for slaughter.
End of problem.

The 5th picture of rhe Arizona Mexico borders is not closed.

That picture is of a fence that is about ten miles west of I-19 north. One can get there by car through a dirt road in the national forest. Herds of illegals cross and walk to I-19 or go north with the help of scouts posted all over. Walking north often results in death because of the heat. But many make it most of the year.

Do. not be fooled.

They show city area walls like San Diego etc. What about that rough border area in AZ where ranchers are killed on their own property by illegals on high ground?. How about Texas?

Yeah, right. They are pouring across the border now in full sight. Moreover, they are reporting to the BP who escort them in for eventual resettlement within the US. The tens of thousands of “children” did not try to evade the BP. They sought them out and almost none of them have been deported. And Obama has been flying in the parents at USG expense from their home countries to join their children.

why do we have millions of illegals in the country?

A lot of them are visa overstays, arrive by air, and millions upon millions of people here legally who don't belong here.

Don't get me wrong - I'd seize a ten-mile strip into Mexico, bulldoze and dynamite any structures, mine it and THEN build a fence.

But our problems are much bigger than the border.
