Jeb Bush On The Attack, Claims There’s A Big Problem With Trump’s Wall Idea

A large part of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s stance on immigration involves building a wall along the southern U.S. border — a wall the real estate tycoon insists will be paid for by Mexico.

But not so fast says GOP rival Jeb Bush.

The former governor of Florida said over the weekend Trump is promising to build “a wall that can’t be built,” the Washington Examiner reported.

It’s a determination Bush said he made after talking to mayors and law enforcement on the Texas-Mexico border, who he said told him a wall can’t be built because of the rugged terrain.

Jeb Bush to Teddy Roosevelt: A canal through Panama is impossible!

To Eisenhower: A national system of highways is impossible! The terrain is too difficult as it would have to cross mountains and deserts!

To Kennedy: Man going to the moon? Impossible!

You think all the drugs in America are coming overland across the Mexican border?

NO, Only 85%, which is more than enough to End the War on Drugs if it was closed. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN, Way too much Money and Power involved.

Jeb is either an idiot or a liar. Texas law enforcement would not and did not tell him that a wall cannot be built. They told him the same thing they told Donald Trump. Build a wall where it makes sense.

The Great Wall of China took well over 300 years and 500,000 men to build. The United States is not quite 240 years old itself.

Israel’s separation barrier is approximately 400 miles long, which is one-third the length of the Texas border and one-fourth the length of the U.S. border. The terrain in Israel does not include 1200 miles of water. The barrier is primarily intended to prevent terrorist attacks. The Arabs are not digging sophisticated tunnels under the barrier complete with electricity and rails to transport drugs and illegal immigrants.

Different purposes. Different terrain. Different resources. Different time periods.

Yes, we call build a wall where it makes sense. Building a wall just to stay we did is pointless. It needs to be effective. Otherwise, it becomes a waste of money, time, and resources.

You are manifestly incorrect.
The Arabs are, the Arabs have been attempting to dig tunnels. Israel has found and destroyed them.
Ok, the tunnels transport explosives, arms and terrorists, not drugs and ‘illegal immigrants’.

You’re delusional.

Marijuana is grown here in the US. Mexican weed is universally despised.

Meth? a lot of meth comes in over the border. a lot more is manufactured in the US.

Cocaine has been flown in and been brought in by boat since the 1970s.

There are a lot of drugs that come over the border from Mexico. They are a tiny amount of what the US consumes.

“Mexican weed”

Seriously - is that still a thing?

Sharks with laser beams on their heads are OK, but I would prefer trained Salt Water Crocs off the San Diego coast and the Gulf Coast.
