***if/when those things go up or down as the case may be, it’s increasingly difficult to fully reverse - i.e. short of Beta taking them down, the barriers going up will remain IMO***

Interesting. Beto I presume you mean (Hispanic nickname for Roberto), but since he is not Hispanic, it doesn't matter how you spell it anyway. I hope you are correct, although the 'rats are infamous for running over the law and property rights, in terms of removing fencing.

I have stated my view here that - where a wall is not practical or prohibited by the non-sovereignty crowd - do what the military is uniquely authorized to do: MINE the border! The danger would not be to humans - who are presumably intelligent; the danger would be to wildlife. Presumably the military has the experience to deal with such issues.

Forgive me for being wordy, but I would attempt to recruit business to pressure Congress and Mexico to support border security and stop the passage of thousands of migrants northwards. I would do that by essentially closing the border. A thousand or more trucks cross legal checkpoints daily; I would stop every one of them for a 20 minute (+) inspection. When hundreds of trucks are jammed up every day, watch American businesses start screaming at both Congress and the Mexicans. AND POTUS does not need Congressional approval to inspect cargo; that is an uncontested responsibility.

We need to play hardball with an opponent who will stop at nothing to defeat us. Congress complains about law enforcement on the border, but no one ever seems to point out that their job is to enforce laws the Congress passes, or, when they won't pass laws, they get their corrupt judges to authorize..

The border is in crisis because the Congress wants it to be in crisis... and they ain't gonna do anything about it. So, POTUS must use whatever resources he has available to secure the people of this country. His election have him a mandate, and seemingly all the talking heads have forgotten that --- BECAUSE WASHINGTON NO LONGER REPRESENTS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! /rant

Mines are not environmentally friendly lol - I still like the idea of a moat with alligators and man eating crocodiles with laser beams on their heads. Somebody suggested at some point ;)

::Interesting. Beto I presume you mean....::

^^^^

Robert Frances O’Rourke spells it “Beto”, but I spell it “Beta” as in “beta male”. See my tagline.

“Interesting. Beto I presume you mean (Hispanic nickname for Roberto), but since he is not Hispanic, it doesn’t matter how you spell it anyway. “

I call him Beta. Since his last name is O’ROURKE I thought he nicknamed himself after that old magnetic analog tape from the 80’s but didn’t know how to spell it correctly. Makes more sense than an Irish boy trying to pass himself off as an Hispanic.
