New Mexico finally gets better border wall
The Albuquerque Journal ^ | September 15, 2019 | Yvette Herrell

Posted on 09/15/2019 12:07:41 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Trump is keeping his pledge on border security – despite the Democrats’ obstruction campaign, the new border wall is coming to New Mexico.

Construction crews have already begun reinforcing a 46-mile stretch of the border to protect our state from the growing threat of illegal immigration. For all intents and purposes, this is actually a brand new stretch of border wall, because the old barrier did practically nothing to stop people from crossing the border into New Mexico illegally, as demonstrated in a video clip from 2005 that shows illegal immigrants swarming over it with ease.

Similar construction projects are ongoing in California, Arizona and Texas, and to date, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reports that 60 miles of brand new border walls have been built since 2017, with an additional 390 miles scheduled to be completed before the end of 2020.

This breakthrough comes at a crucial time for the people of New Mexico – the U.S. immigration system has been broken for years, creating a humanitarian and national security crisis that has become particularly acute in recent months. The Democratic Party has only made the problem worse by obstructing President Trump’s solutions, while simultaneously encouraging even more illegal immigrants to exploit the many loopholes in our laws.

Is that FY20 or CY20? It could make a big difference for the election. I’d love for campaign ads to feature footage of new walls to show how much the president has done.

“Or time for the president to thank Miss Ann Coulter for helping to keep him honest.”

You’re completely right, of course.

“No intelligent person looks to Ann Coulter for guidance or advice...”

You, yourself, are not an intelligent person for posting such nonsense.

“You obviously have a cognitive disorder if you think Coulter is a positive influence these days...
Trump has more honesty in his nose hair than Ann has in her whole habitat these days.”

It is amazing to see how much stupidity there really is on display in so many freepers.

“If she were president, she would have magic-ed the entire wall on day one. Concrete. 100 feet tall. With an alligator-filled moat.”

This type of post is just more asinine slander and invective directed at Coulter for simply requiring that Trump keep his campaign promises. I don’t get this sort of mindless garbage being posted here on FR at all. But it happens an awful lot...

Well instead of you replying to everyone telling them how stupid they are for not seeing how Ann supposedly “did things”, why dont you demonstrate that vast intellectual superiority your posses and detail to us precisely what she did.

And if you cite her barking and bitching in a tweet, then save yourself the reply.

It’s the intelligence level of her fans.

They saw the process as a friction-free matter of just stamping a paper and it’s done. If not done within a month, then well you are just a “gutless coward that never wanted to do it” and the classic “we were played!” one-liner.

The sheer amount of fighting Trump has had to do to get to this point is a completely lost on these people (no, he couldn’t just “ignore” court rulings), and if Ann was president, they would have already accused her of “selling out” years ago at the first hurdle.

Her fans are just fickle hangers-on with the understand of civics that makes your average leftist sound like James Madison.

Perhaps the delay on border walls start ups is not Trump but the Deep State push for Russia Russia and the entire Democrap party and their Obbama federal judge brigade?

I suspect he has built more wall that is effective than the last couple of decades of promises of our government.

What we have recieved for our billions of dollars in prior administrations is lip service and a stab in the back by bribe sucking cartel sock puppets.

Trump is actually building effective barriers that impede the flow of terrorists and drug gangs over our border.

Trump brings results, the rest is rhetoric. And every single day from here that goes by while the Democraps argue and obstruct, the wall grows.

*rolleyes*

So that basically means:

“I dont have an answer. Hopefully this third-rate attempt at calling you names will substitute for my lack of ability”

Yup. Definite Ann Coulter cabana boy.

You think that Lil Annie Menopause, Lil Mattie quislings BFF, was legitimately trying to help us get the wall by constantly lying and constantly making believe that if Trump wasn’t on the board wearing a hard hat and directing the work nothing was happening?

She is a liar who made believe she doesn’t understand how government works so she could attack Trump. Lil Annie Menopause was just trying to sell books as usual.

When a loser’s career is going down the toilet, they often try to save their careers with vile anti Trumps bs posing as news.

For the last several years, Coulter’s #1 aim has been to say whatever she thinks will help to sell Ann Coulter books.

Re: Trump brings results, the rest is rhetoric.

Please see my Comment #19.

The money quote:

“Trump's Bottom Line after 32 months....

“60 miles (some built by Obama) of replacement fence.

“Maybe 1 mile of “new” fence in a previously un-fenced area.”

Please see my Comment #19 for more details.

All my numbers come from government publications.

Here is the link to the best summary.

If you don't like the data in that link, I have more links.

The wall is being built in the highest priority spots as the feedback from ICE requests indicate. In your source:"

CBP also has completed approximately 10 miles of the 80 miles of new border wall of funded by Congress for fiscal year 2018. The $1.375 million assigned for construction will allow CBP will focus its construction efforts in priority areas in the Rio Grande Valley and San Diego.

Border wall construction planning efforts will continue in fiscal year 2019, as CBP will use $2 billion authorized by Congress to build approximately 85 miles of new border wall focus in the Rio Grande Valley."

...was your answer.

It was a newer article on the same site.
