The ones that come here legally are great, and usually assimilate and love America.

That may have been generally true in the 50's but it is not near as true today. Certainly some are but for a multitude of reasons many are not. Outside of the fact that legal numbers are already high. We have become a nation that doesn't try real hard to assimilate but rather encourage maintaining you own culture and language. In addition we widely teach anti-American BS at our schools & elsewhere. We have turned immigration demographics on its head since 1965 and had an explosion of race /cultural grievance groups that are given a hugely disproportionate voice by our so called MSM.

New arrivals must be legal immigrants and they MUST speak English.

You no speaka English. You no staya here. That goes for the ones already here too. No English = No Welfare.

We also need a nearly full halt on all immigration for a few years to ascertain the damage done by the last 30 years of non-stop illegal infiltration.

Do you have a source for Mr. Trump saying this 18 months ago? I think that that is very, very unlikely.

There are two ifs with this position. If it gets built and the biggest if, If it works.

I don’t care how it is done as long as it works. It has to work effectively in greatly, as in ‘to a trickle’, reducing illegal border crossings.

I think so too, and I spent a lot of time listening to his speeches and rallies.

We all remember ‘Big beautiful wall’ over and over - fence is not wall, repairs to fence is not wall.

If only 50% gets built - its a start, but if morons are telling him that this will stop the gangsters and illegals - then they are committing treason in my opinion. Its a complete and utter lie.

“Trump’s been saying that for a over a year and now it’s news?”

Yep, my thoughts exactly. It’s almost like there’s an agenda here...

Which is exactly what Trump said on multiple occasions during the campaign.

This is old news. Even on the campaign trail Trump said that natural barriers would not need a wall, and in some places wouldn’t even need a fence.

They know. Just an attempt to tarnish, smear, deceive, denigrate, back stab.

“”The Rio Grande doesn’t appear to be that much of a detriment to them. Not unless you import some gators.””

And that’s the one area that a wall will never be built.

What did he scale back?

This is what he said during the campaign—about half of the 2,000 miles are natural barriers, the other half will be walled, including replacing existing fencing with a wall.

More fake news generated by the Collusion News Newtork.

Yep I knew he would walk away again as well. This BS about barriers that cannot be crossed is utter BS.

I have hunted in the high plains and mountains of West Texas and have experienced the illegal traffic and death toll of the illegal invaders trying to cross there.

People who say this are naive and usually are yankee bastards that do not know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.

Our President said anything to get elected and being tough on immigration was one of his biggest lies. You Trumpettes can go off on me but you will be wasting your breath because you know it as well because he is PROVING IT.

He has been saying this for 18 Months.

Male Bovine Scat...prove it.

He has been fighting Congress to fund his BORDER WALL not his piece of border wall.

I’ll be happy for 100 feet of actual wall at this point ;/

There was 100 feet before he got elected.

Keep supporting him maybe he will tear it down and rebuild it then we can all clap that the promise was kept
