“Tough border security which prevents illegal immigration, drugs etc from entering our country and enforces existing immigration law and instantly deports those who commit crimes will meet the expectation most Americans have for a secure national border.”
I’m sorry, bigbob, but that isn’t what he said he was going to do.
When you tell someone you are going to do something, do it.
Very simple, honesty and integrity.
OK, let’s play it out. You’re saying he promised a “wall”, tell me - how high must it be to meet your expectations? 20 feet? 40? How thick? Would it be OK if you could see through it or must it be opaque? Would steel be ok or must a wall be made of concrete?
My point is, Trump spoke in very general terms using a simple one-word description: “wall”. Everyone is able to visualize what a wall might be but everyone sees it slightly differently. Simple solutions are more powerful than specific complex ones. We all agree on “a secure southern border”, it’s now a matter of details, and that’s what the prototype program is about. As Trump moves from the general to the specific with good persuasive arguments and supporting details, most people will say, yes, ok that satisfies MY definition of a wall. Some will not - you’re probably one of them. But politics is always a matter of appealing to the broadest segment of the voting population- it’s impossible to satisfy everyone. That’s why I said “most”, not “all”.
