Trump: Border wall will be 35-45 feet tall
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/24/2016 | Anna Giaritelli

Posted on 08/25/2016 10:39:52 AM PDT by Elderberry

Donald Trump laid out new details in a pre-taped interview that aired Wednesday about the border wall he has called to be built on the U.S.-Mexico border.

"I think the height could be 35 to 45 feet. That's a good height. That's a good height. Anywhere in that neighborhood. Could be higher," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity during the second part of an Austin, Texas, town hall.

The Republican nominee said he plans to install a fence along 1,000 miles of the 2,000-mile border because only that portion needs to be reinforced.

Trump said the current border allows drug cartels to bring drugs into the U.S. and take their money back out with them.

The EPA was born by EO. It can die the same way.

And they should given all the federal abuse pushed onto them and their property over the decades. They should be paid at least 5x the property value.

Simply. Either the wall goes over their land, or North of it.

They could make those large prefab concrete barrier walls right there on the border. No need for driving them too far.

Yes, It can be done. It won't be the most economical way to build a wall.

It seems to me that pouring in place would be much cheaper.

In the meantime, BP can actually do its job, and armed!

Anything that requires electricity to be effective is not a good plan.

HEY, LOOK WHO’S BACK!

Thought that I’d forgotten about your concern trolling, eh?

Are you still gonna claim that you ‘support’ Trump after bashing him with might-bes in this thread?

Well, I hit Report Abuse a few times for some of his more egregious acts.

We’ll see.

Which still leaves about 30 million here for him to consider “a process” for. But oh, no, that wouldn’t be amnesty! Nope! Not when Trump does it...


And a Hillary amnesty? Ted Cruz sure seems comfortable with a Hillary amnesty. He isn’t lifting a finger to stop it. How principled and conservative of him.

I saw him as a troll quite some time ago.

On this thread it is as clear as washed glass.

Trump never promised Operation Wetback 2.0. These concern trolls can campaign for Hillary all they want. Patriots are going to vote Trump. Cut and run surrender monkeys are going to concern troll. End of story.

Looks to me that the distance between Matamoros and Sinaola is about a thousand miles. ;-)
