Jeb Bush: Border Wall ‘Not Practical’
Breitbart Texas ^ | August 26, 2015 | Rob Milford

Posted on 08/26/2015 5:24:44 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Republican Presidential Candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush told a group at a Florida rally about his Texas border trip and explained why a border wall wouldn’t be practical or conservative. Bush returned to the friendly turf of the Sunshine State on Wednesday, with a town hall style meeting in Pensacola.

Pensacola is a solidly conservative town in the Florida panhandle. He spoke of his experience as the state’s former governor, but only answered a single question about the Border Crisis.

“I went to McAllen, Texas, in Hildago County, last week and met with the Mayors, the County Judge, and the Sheriff, right out of central casting with a big mustache, and these are good salt of the earth people who are concerned about their community,” Bush stated during the rally attended by Breitbart Texas....

JFK told us we could go to the moon.
Jebusite tells us we can't build a wall.

Israel has successfully built a wall for almost 300 miles.

People look at the terrain in California, Arizona, and New Mexico and think it’s the same in Texas. It ain’t.

There IS a river that runs the entire 1254 mile length of the Texas-Mexico border. It IS an agricultural problem to cut off South Texas farming communities from the river. It’s ALREADY proven to be an issue and some Texans have been fenced out of their own country.

It ain’t as easy as “build a wall” in Texas. It will require manpower and technology in addition to whatever physical barrier we can implement.

Wall not practical? Land mines are cheaper. I think the wall is more humane.

I’m for a fence array as it is more transparent to photons and lead.

What if Bush keeps getting puny crowds and Trump keep getting huge crowds. But Bush becomes the nomination?

RINO failure Jeb could not even bring a glass of water
to Terri Schiavo, because he and his wife
were drunk on champagne for weeks, and saving
her life was “not practical”.

“Your grandmother in the wheelchair has to lift up her skirt and show her colostomy bag to the TSA until the end of time. Your grandfather, who got blown up serving his country in a war and has a leg brace, has to be degraded and show that to officialdom at the airport until the end of time. But millions and millions of people can just walk into the selfsame country across the southern border, and we’re supposed to just accept it.” -Mark Steyn

Funny that. The Donald went to Texas and found out the same thing that Jeb did. It makes sense to build a wall in certain parts of Texas but not all of it. Donald said exactly that in his press conference at the border.

But a man seated behind Bush didn’t like the answer and began shouting about China. Trump has said that the United States can build a border wall because China built its Great Wall. Bush snapped: “Oh yeah, 600 years ago

Uh, more like 2000 years ago, Yeb.

But I digress, because what’s your point? That if the Chinese could build a wall BY HAND 2000 years ago that is the only man-made object visible from space, then it’s clearly impossible for the U.S. to build a wall like that today with modern technology and modern materials?

Jeb does not understand the operation of a wedge-the world’s simplest tool.

Something as complex as a fence is way beyond him.

A ‘no can do’ GOPer.

Can’t build a wall. Can deport illegals. Can’t undo Obamacare.
