Americans who live near border say Trump's wall is unwelcome
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | November 22, 2016 | Frank Bajak

Forget Donald Trump's Great Wall.

The people who live in the bustling, fertile Rio Grande Valley, where the U.S. border meets the Gulf of Mexico, think a "virtual wall" of surveillance technology makes a lot more sense. It's already in wide use and expanding.

By “Americans” we know they mean Central Americans, South Americans, and Mexican Americans.

And maybe Americans who want to hire cheap labor.

All taxpayers in the US should be happy about that. Now, push her back across the border PRONTO.

Well, begging your pardon, but they’re NIMBY idiots, just like Kennedys advocating windmills but not wanting them off Martha’s Vineyard to spoil their view.

#CORRECTION

Farmers want below market fruit pickers by banning citizenship of their competitive workers.

Corporate farmers want to ban family farmers.

Many welfare people would LOVE a family farm. Give it to them. Ban the huge land owning corporate farms and the troubles they bring like writing bad laws.

Wouldn’t need to do much to maintain it either.

I think a border hedge would be perfect. As long as there are plenty of Claymores in front of it.

A wall will slow down the invasion and give time for PB agents to stop/apprehend the invaders. According to RT, many European countries have started to build walls to deal with Muslim invasion.

Maybe “undocumented” Americans don’t want it but real ones do.

Agree, LOL! With a virtual wall, we can have the pleasure of GETTING TO WATCH hoards of Illegals come across in 3D!!! Quite a show, getting to watch your own country being invaded, and with STEREO SOUND!!!

From Esperanza to Candelaria there is no river. There is a government agency tasked with keeping the river dredged out but the EPA sold their equipment at auction several years ago.
Maybe some time in the future Trump will wall off the Great Lakes to keep Canadians out. See how that works?

#WelfareToFarmOwner

o Cap the acreage of large farms. All Constitutional rights have limits, including property.

o Switch AG Dept purpose to screen welfare folks.

o Convert them into squatters.

o Give them a minimal acreage.

SOLVED! See how easy this is.

Almost 20 years ago we had to drive from San Diego to Ensenada for a destination wedding at a resort there which meant we had to go through Tijuana. I remember our son who was 18 at the time was appalled at the stark difference. He was already developing into a leftie at the time God love him and thought that the border should be eliminated for the good of the people in Tijuana. I said “sure, and then Tijuana will look more like San Diego but the flip side is that San Diego will look a lot like Tijuana.

I was back in San Diego 15 years later and it does look a lot more like Tijuana.

“Rose I hate to say it but there will never be a wall between Texas and Mexico.”

Yea, we had a lot of people CHANNELING TRUMP during the Primaries and even afterwards. All Trump was doing was throwing red meat to the masses...he meant NOTHING. It was all a GIANT FAKE to distract us, while he enables Democrats like Hillary.

But now we have Pence, Sessions, and Kobach. I guess Trump has managed to turn them into the left-wing liberals that all us NeverTrumpers (see tag line) know that he (Trump) is.

And based on that, we know FULL WELL, that calling for a border wall was a big HEAD FAKE, and instead Trump will soon reveal to the world that he’s really a GLOBALIST in drag, and invite the ENTIRE WORLD into the United States.
