Arizona senator says Trump's border wall not 'advisable'
The Hill ^ | July 3, 2016 | Harper Neidig

Posted on 07/03/2016 10:57:33 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

These politicians are always "concerned" about issues, like drug smuggling, human trafficking and terrorist entry along the border like Flake talks in Arizona.

But when a candidate comes along who actually has a plan to build a perimeter fence to solve some of these problems, idiots like Flake dismiss it out of turn to just to criticize Trump. Flake offers no solution himself. Just more of the same.

Another RINO turd just floated to the surface and is smelling the place up.

For a Senator living in Arizona, I’d think he knows from Calif to Texas is a lot more than 225 miles.

Even in my pre-caffeinated state this morning, I read that and thought "WTF?!"

But not concerned about millions of illegal invaders coming across. Flake is an embarrassment.

The Arizona Mexico border appears to be at least 300 miles. We have elected idiots that take bribes.

So India is in the process of building a 2,100+ mile fence on their border with Bangladesh through swamps and we can't build one in the desert?

All I know is El Paso to San Diego is a long long ride. 225 miles it definitely is not.

That wall looks fine and dandy but I want one of concrete at least as high, double walled with contenteen wire between. I live in East Texas, do you how easy it would be for a coyote to steal my backhoe with the master key and drive through that in 2 seconds flat.
I want reinforced concrete, motion detectors and real armed guards who get a bounty for each catch.
Plus, here in Texas at least I want the wall built on our side of the Rio Grande and let loose alligators and crocs in the river. Mexico don’t like it, tough.
