Correct. The liberals first cry was “racism!” Now it is, “it won’t work!”
Israel’s wall seems to be working.
Also, I think South Korea’s “wall” seems to have put a crimp on North Korean illegals.
Stop giving them sanctuaries and free bus rides to unsuspecting communities. Stop giving them entitlements, free medical care, schooling and drivers licenses. Stop giving the luxury of knowing they won’t be caught. Stop allowing employers to harbor them with not so much as a wrist slap. PUNISH THEM for their crimes and don’t let them out of prison, then ship them home.
Build the wall, the Israelis did it. They work - the White House has one. Stop it all and they will go home.
Pay a bounty for each head.
Put Americans back to work.
Until re-unification, East Germany pretty well had the situation in hand. Physical barriers along a border work going both directions.
Physical barriers are force multipliers. They are part of an integrated defense system. This NYT article is just another worthless attack on Trump.
Much easier to patrol a long distance if there is a substantial wall.
The wall will stop 80% or more of the border jumpers. That will bring a good percentage of the illegal entry problem under control so the US Border Patrol can deal with it.
Fences (walls) make good neighbors. Respect for property rights is not only common sense, it is a preserved American right.
BUT -> it's worth suffering through this paragraph just to enjoy the final line that some editor inserted at the last minute, surely so the Times could get their Paid Content check from Obama ... This paragraph actually makes sense ... and then it gets blown up by a Social Hypnosis line ...
"It is telling, though, that Mr. Ladd never used to carry a gun or a cellphone. That changed six years ago, when his friend Robert Krentz Jr., known to help people no matter their nationality, was shot to death on his family’s ranch after radioing his brother that he had come upon another migrant in distress. His unsolved murder caused a national outcry, and it led to state legislation intended to crack down on illegal immigration. It also prompted Mr. Ladd’s wife to demand that he carry a cellphone and a Glock.
But, really, what is a Glock going to do?"
Hmmm ... what possible good could a gun be when you're alone out in the wilderness and your friend recently got shot and the police are 2 hours away and drug cartels are running around. What' POSSIBLE good could a gun be, I mean "But, really, what is a Glock going to do?" Personally, I love that line.
LINE THE BORDERS WITH NUCLEAR WASTE!!!
“Is that because they aren’t arresting them?”
One word answer: Y E S
The Bush/Obama “Catch & Release” program(s) has made many of the BP agents simply throw up their hands.
But not in Pinal County.
Look up the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office program of cross certifying BP agents.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has been dedicated to... ... Florence, AZ ..... Sheriff Paul Babeu has cross certified over 100 US Border Patrol and ICE Officers to ...
Well of course there must and will be patrols and more border patrol officers hired. Charges that to Meh-he-co too! All those American companies that are saving billions by making products south of the border will move back or pay too.
Cheaper products mean nothing to someone out of work.
I have read some mockingly say all you will need is a ladder or rope to get over a wall. Where are the example of wall planned?
When the NYT stops using passwords for computer access, and locks on doors, and the executives there stop locking their doors at home, then they can start preaching about how useless deterrence is. Until then, they act like Paul Ryan and I will continue to ignore their advice on how to live my life.
They are going to have to add in Semitic equipment to detect the tunnels too. Stop the watering stations. And the catch and release. There has been no slow down, it’s gone underground and with the catch and release stats are off.
Who said that a wall ONLY will stop illegal immigration? It surely will not but it can delay entry sufficiently for patrols to interdict and arrest or turn away illegals.
The idea a properly constructed wall of sufficient height and depth beneath the ground along with the use of the available technology cannot slow to a trickle illegal border crossings is just plain ignorant thinking.
And just what makes these ranchers on the border experts in what will and will not work?
What is your point? Many DONT do disgracebook
Babeau is good for his district even if he is a bone smuggler.
...the number of migrants has plummeted?? WHAT PLANET DOES THIS WRITER LIVE ON??
