Report: New White House Chief Of Staff Believes He Has Convinced Trump To Give Up On Border Wall
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 08/01/2017 7:40:22 AM PDT by UKrepublican

New White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly believes he has convinced President Donald Trump to abandon his pledge to construct a large and lengthy wall along the border separating the United States and Mexico, according to The New Yorker.

At a private meeting in tony Aspen, Colorado, two weeks ago, Kelly told a group of high-profile attendees that he had extensively discussed the border wall issue with Trump. Kelly believes he persuaded Trump to abandon his policy goal of erecting a lengthy wall along the 1,954-mile border which the United States shares with Mexico, according to The New Yorker.

Instead of a wall, Kelly said he suggested Trump could utilize a combination of complex monitoring equipment, continuous air surveillance and many miles of fencing can effectively secure the U.S.-Mexico border.

Such a combination of materials and surveillance would be called a “barrier” instead of a “wall,” Kelly told his audience.

Uh oh.

In his testimony before Congress Kelly indicated he would rather Congress change the laws for illegal aliens than remove them.

The old Virtual Fence. Been there, done that. Or rather, didn’t do that, since it was just another excuse for maintaining the status quo.

If we start seriously enforcing immigration law and kicking out the illegal immigrants, we may not need a wall.

The RINO’s in Washington want the cheap labor getting across the border by the front door or the back door with those “work visas-permits” with the “H 1” designations.

The proof of what’s really happening is in that pudding.

No- we voted for the wall - Lets get this straight Trump is awesome but he is just the vehicle. We want the wall damn it we know walls work - we put them around our houses to great effect. They work all around the world. Build the wall.

Building the Wall is president Trumps read my lips if he abandons it adios.

The wall is a more then a practical barrier its a symbol of the government returning to its rightful role and protecting its citzens as well as listening to them.

We want the frickin wall

I predict Rush will note that this is another attempt by the fake news to separate Trump from his supporters.

Trump should explain that the reason for the wall is that a physical wall can’t be turned off or pulled back.

We absolutely need the wall. Of course, it won’t stop, but it will significantly reduce the invasion.

I hope this is not true. Will not end well for Trump if it is.

IIRC, he told Congress that if they wanted ICE agents to stop removing illegal aliens, they would have to change the laws.

Slight difference.
