Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said in an interview broadcast Sunday that Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall across the U.S. border with Mexico isn’t “advisable.”

Speaking with John Catsimatidis in a radio interview, Flake was asked whether Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is right to be alarmed about border security. “To think that we’d have a wall like Donald Trump is talking about across our 225-mile border with Mexico from California to Texas isn’t very feasible, or advisable,” he said.

But there are still concerns about the border, Flake said, admitting he is concerned about drug trafficking and the possibility of terrorists coming across from Mexico....

Tell this jerk Flake to shut his pie hole.

Jeff Flake got a call in the middle of the night.

“We have your FBI file. Shall we release some of these details or are you going to cooperate. We would like you to announce a border wall won’t work.

Agree and we give you the press release to issue about the border wall...If not, you can write your own press release explaining Trixie on that trip to...”

This is no news. Flake has exposed himself as a Saudi agent long ago.

George Will & Jeff Flake should start character acting careers on Law & Order SVU. Perfect looks.

Flake: Sure, we’ve got a problem with illegal immigration, but let’s not rush too quickly into a solution. These things are not simple. They take time. Let the experts [politicians] deal with it. Trust us, rubes, uhh, I mean my fellow American’s. We have your best interest at heart, and we feel your pain.

Douglas to El Paso is 225.

Do tell. Why not? What's unfeasible about building and manning a border wall? What's inadvisable about a nation controlling it's borders?

LIBERAL/DEMOCRAT LOGIC.

Flake was asked whether Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is right to be alarmed about home security. “To think that we’d have locked doors like Donald Trump is talking about on every isn’t home in the entire country isn’t very feasible, or advisable,” he said.

So the Chinese built a 13,000 mile wall starting thousands of years ago by hand to keep out invading hoards of malcontents. This is a situation not unlike what we find ourselves in today. Our wall doesn’t need to be more than a fraction of the length can be put up with modern construction equipment with far less effort and expense than a typical freeway project. Securing our borders will not only keep us safer; it will pay for itself in just a few years if you figure the amount of resources spent on social programs for illegal invaders and the amount of damage that they do in crime and not to mention screwing up the labor market. Do young people even remember when people used to be able to make a decent wage in the home construction industry?

The wall that Israel has erected is the best of the best.

If Sen. Flake would read FR then he would at least be aware of the following disease problems with illegals, his state included in the list below.

• Syrian refugees are a health hazard to US by bringing flesh-eating leishmaniasis disease

• 22 Percent of Resettled Refugees in Minnesota Test Positive for Tuberculosis

• More than one-third of refugees in Vermont test positive for tuberculosis

• CDC Official Says 'Thousands' May Have Arrived in US With Zika

• Measles outbreak traced back to inmate at Arizona immigrant detention facility

Or does Sen. Flake know about these problems but, like Hillary, is preoccupied with winning the next election and evidently doesn’t care?

I guess a friggin wall is politically incorrect now.

Yet, the money to build walls, fences, add more staff was already approved by Congress, way before Trump started running for President.

[Frank_2001]

He ought to just become a Democrat already, and end the charade! He has the perfect last name to be a D, anyhow! /s;)

Yuma to El Paso on the highway is 565. Probably the border from Cali to Texas is 525.

[UCANSEE2]

“To think that we’d have a wall like Donald Trump is talking about across our 225-mile border with Mexico from California to Texas isn’t very feasible, or advisable,”

I think Flake is (PURPOSELY) misquoting Trump. Trump said, and explained in various position papers that the walls would be erected in places where people are crossing illegally and where practical. Not all 225 miles need a wall.

[UCANSEE2]

On second thought, maybe the reference to 225 miles is correct. That is how much needs to be built to control the border. The Border from California to Texas is longer than that, as several others have mentioned.

Again, the money was already approved, so whomever proposed the original bill and all those who voted in favor of it seemed to think it was a good idea.

Some of those who are criticizing Trump are the ones who voted for it, are they not ?

...and WHERE DID THE DAMN MONEY GO that was supposed to build that wall ?

Snow Flakes in AZ... who knew.

It's too obvious, that punk is bought & paid for - but by whom? The Mexican mafia,the Clintons, the global fascists in Brussels? What sort of position was he promised in the new world order?
