Kellyanne Conway: Trump Has 'Discovered' a Physical Wall is Not Needed Everywhere
PJ Media ^ | 01-11-2018 | Michael van der Galien

Build the wall, build the wall! Remember how Trump supporters were chanting those three words constantly whenever their Great Leader gave a speech? Well, guess what? Trump is having second thoughts.

[TWEET FROM MANU RAJU]

Twitter Ads info and privacy You'd think that a presidential candidate would consult with experts before or at least during the campaign, but clearly, Trump begged to differ. He only did so after he became president and had told his base hundreds of time that "the wall" would be built, that it wouldn't be a mere "fence," and that technology wouldn't suffice either. No, no, this had to be a real, physical wall.

Or not. Apparently, Trump is now happy with a fence and technological security as well.

Is this what his "nationalist-populist" base voted for?

There are gates in these fences and property owners have the keys.

If you read what I posted earlier I said the border would be a great place for military train. As far as fencing off Texans from their water rights it will never happen unless your willing to give Mexico the Rio Grande river, is that what your wanting?

Ever hear of property rights or is that something you don’t believe in?

“What facts did he learn?”

That it is impossible to build a wall of the kind he wants along the entire border. They have to use several methods to address the different scenarios along the border, and the existing laws have to be enforced.

I like that he operates like a businessman - listening to opinions of others, considers their advice and then makes an informed decision accordingly.

I love the guy! I have a great deal of confidence in him. I love the cheshire cat analogy! That describes him perfectly! I heard another freeper say once “Trump is the laser pointer, and the media are the cats” How true!

We are being invaded. A lot of Americans died fighting in a lot of wars so the least you could do do is stop acting like greedy asshole. But you are not like that. It matters not. Eminent domain, look it up bupkiss. You put up a fight then I hope you get mowed down.

Impossible. No way it is totally possible. It may not be politically possible but it is physically possible. So quit lying; we are not stupid children here.

BULL !!!

IF there are areas where there is no ‘physical wall’, that rea will be the magnet for the illegals to cross. American landowners will not be happy.

On the other hand-—maybe if there are strategic ‘funnels’ where they can focus the illegal crossings, they can catch them easier & send them back from 10,000 feet on a plane.

There are many ranchers who have been under siege with the illegals for years. They don’t deserve to be heavily targeted in the future.

BUILD a WALL—Solid all along the border.

No more American jobs—or welfare—or schooling—or anything else.

Hey tough guy! Why don’t you be the first to try it, I would enjoy that. I’m one of those that fought in a war, 1969-1972 Company D 502 101st Air Mobile, don’t need somebody of your ilk telling me about war and it’s costs.

Here we have a member of Free Republic not only wishing a fellow member dead but thousands of other US citizens to follow suit.

I am literally laughing to tears on what I’m reading. You called it, “or the rationalizations begin”

Well you should know better and know an invasion when you see one. Stay out of the way is my recommendation.

>> The fence is very effective, it’s just not finished <<

Yes, and anybody who has doubts should check with the Israelis. They have a double fence, with a paved road in between. After they implemented the project, illegal entries across that border fell to almost zero.

Moreover, the Border Patrol guys will tell you that a fence is better than a wall, because a fence gives you the chance to monitor closely what is happening on the other side, whereas a wall tends to block your view.
