A piecemeal approach would have been better.

Of course not
All the fences need to come down and a whole bunch of safe pedestrian bridges need to be built so they can cross over in an orderly fashion...

Did Obama Say in 2009 We 'Can't Have Half a Million People Pouring' Over Border? He mentioned something about building a new foundation.

He meant, we can’t have that few. Now 8 million and counting makes more sense.

Well now we have 10 million in less than 4 years.

Exactly. Even 8 million is too few.

It is amazing. The greatest country in world history is being disassembled before I very eyes and no one is even trying to stop it.
It almost equals the legend of Atlantis, that was suppose to have disappeared in one day.

It seems that Tom Fitton is the only one who can actually get something done.

Yeah... Because he wanted a hundred million pouring over the border, not a pittance of half a million.

That was BEFORE the PLAN was explained to him.

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them.
There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?
The word is something that everyone uses every day.
If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.
