Yep, I work with a guy (American) who simply wants to get some money to his mother in Mexico to pay for a caretaker. It is a bitch now to do just that for him, and we haven’t even begun to start a crackdown.
If Trump wants to stop, or regulate, or tax the flow of money down there...he will have NO PROBLEM doing so.
Note how the NEVER-TRUMPERS are starting to show their colors a bit on this thread...
...can’t be done, land too expensive
...can’t be done, engines have reservations
...can’t be done, environmentalists will block
...can’t be done, Democrats will not fund it
Wanna bet. All Trump has to do is declare a national emergency...
The whole what?
Much of that can be done by executive order. There’s precedent for all of this, a portion of the wall in southwest San Diego county has been in place for several years.
Duncan Hunter needs to be the next Secretary of the Army and replace the fruit who is in there now.
If i was 18 again before i joined the Navy...I would sign up to build this wall...no matter how hot and hard it got...I’d tell my grandkids about it!
I could live with that!
Let's see...
I've heard various numbers but 12,000,000 illegals seems about right.
And if each one only collects welfare/food/medical/ whatever at the rate of $1,000 a year; a year's worth of that would BUILD the wall!
There ya go!
the state department “misplaced” half that on Hillary’s watch.
I remember now. Riots broke out all over our beloved country over this!!
I think we already have easement rights.
Nehemiah 4 (NIV)
1 When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed. He ridiculed the Jews, 2 and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, “What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?”
3 Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, “What they are building—even a fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of stones!”
4 Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. 5 Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.
6 So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
7 But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the people of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry. 8 They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. 9 But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.
Remember folks; that after the Alamo loss, there was an 18 minute battle at San Jacinto.
Drones...
The guy before Eric was Patrick Murphy.
And the guy before him was Mike FitzPatrick.
We're not talking about sidewalk but a 50 foot wall. Easements won't cover that.
Fanning replaced McHugh, a limpdick congressman from New York. More about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._McHugh
Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836
To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World-
Fellow Citizens & compatriots-
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country - Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis.
It was probably the previously allocated wall money :-)
