Back then, I thought the Wall was absolutely essential.

But just yesterday I heard from Border Chief Tom Homan that illegal border crossing are down from 11,000 per DAY under Biden to now just 249 a day.

THAT’S magnificent!

Maybe a Wall isn’t as important as just actually manning the border and telling people they’ll be arrested and not rewarded if they cross it?

No, building the Wall is essential as ever right now for futures sake. The construction shouldn’t stop until it’s fully completed. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell along with RINO and leftist judges thwarted the funding and completion of it in his first term.

MILES OF OPEN SPACE——STILL NEED THE WALL, IMO.

Except for two considerations: (1) the majority of Americans, especially those who live near the border and others all over the country who have suffered physical harm and/or property damage want the wall built, and (2) Marxist-Democrats, Deep State apparatchiks, and other American haters would somehow have to justify demolishing the wall without revealing themselves to be total FOOLS!

A wall will work under any president unless they tear it down. Relying on enforcement means any dem can just open the spigots again with a single word, instantly.

I still believe the wall is 1000% necessary. It keeps drugs out. It keeps illegals out. It keeps terrorists out. Not just for now but for 10 years down the road.

Good fences make good neighbors.

Walls are force-multipliers. Building it now will free up thousands of ICE dudes to do interior roundups.
