Okay, I’d listen to the Border Patrol (but not the mayors...).
What does the BP say will work?
If you can build an interstate through Glenwood Canyon you can build a wall…
Yes-China-and on a smaller scale, the Romans built two of them in rough, cold country-Hadrian’s wall, about 100 miles long-and the Antonine wall, 39 miles-to keep the Picts and others in Caledonia/Scotland from raiding all the time. Both were pretty elaborate-mile castles and smaller guard posts manned 24-7, a deep ditch on both sides, etc.
Israel is pretty good at walls, too-Jeb might want to ask them about that stuff...
The Antonine wall was abandoned because the territory was too far for the garrison to be supplied easily-but Hadrian’s wall was pretty effective until it was breached around the late 4th century, when Rome was more involved elsewhere and it was undermanned.
But I digress-a wall can certainly be built-should be-think of the skilled and semi-skilled jobs in the trades, security work, etc that will bring, and the coyotes and narco trafficantes it may put out of business-but I’m sure that would be too sensible for someone like Jeb to consider...
Idiot. You don’t need to build in the rugged parts. That’s where the drones and volunteer minutemen with AR-15s gp. Silly Jeb.
Now Jeb is an expert on construction.
Man, this guy knows everything /sar
Instead of Dora cartoons, Jeb should watch bob the builder.
Trump the builder
Can we build it
Yes we can
” . . permanently being overrun by the third world”
Jeb Bush and all of his establishment ilk want the USA to be overrun by the third world. To allow this nation to be given over to outside interests and invaders, nothing new under the sun is going on here, these people are what the bible calls reprobates and they are now doing those things which defy common sense and logic, things not convenient to do in the service of their people,
The strength and freedoms afforded to us collectively by the default heritage of Christ being allowed into the mainstream for so long here, and in the West in general, where all would then benefit, whereby the rain falls on both the just and the unjust and has given to us the uncounted blessings which Americans have enjoyed for many years, that same freedom has now become a hindrance, by affording enough leasure and casual time to study as a witness these things from what is written in scripture, to be a witness of their longstanding desires for a structure of global world power and control,
And whether Milquetoast Jeb or corrupted shrill Hillary or Poppy realizes just what it is they are longing for, they are acting in the service of an evil spirit that has plans for this world that requires America to be pulled off its pedestal, for Israel to be surrendered away or destroyed (or both) and for there to be no place left to stand between any free thinking believer on this Earth and the one true God of Heaven apart from the all powerful (Beast) state,
Tell it to Hadrian.
Are illegal aliens now ghosts, and can float through solid objects?
No what Jeb is afraid of is it will keep all the love out.
Tell that to the Israelis, Jebicito.
They like their wall just fine.
The New World Order doesn’t like walls.
Well, to hell with that.
Why is it the the people who scream the loudest about fences not working all live behind one themselves?
All of the open-borders crowd (apparently Jeb is one) say a wall/fence won’t work precisely because they know it will work. Viva la Raza, Jeb!
Apparently Jeb wasn't listening when The Donald told him Mexico would pay for it.
Can’t be built on rugged terrain? Bullshit!! Ever hear of dynamite, JEB? Trump will just order the Army Corps of Engineers to blast right through it.
Jeb is an idiot.
The wall would not succeed at it’s intended purpose. Hadrian’s Wall and the Great Wall of China didn’t work for their intended purpose either.
Empires who set their borders and hide behind them and start encouraging the successful parts of their population to have low birth rates inevitably fail
China could build a wall 13,000 long 3,000 years ago, and we can’t build one a sixth as long today? No wonder China can put a man into space and we can’t anymore.
