Because he SCREWED UP by calling it a wall. Border Fence would have been a whole lot better. One just like the Saudis have built or the Hungarians or the Indians.
Double fence with no-man’s land between and lots of sensors. Walls are so... Chinese and so Middle Ages.
If its well patrolled, with strong support say 15 minutes away then a fence would work fine.
Even the highest of walls don’t work if there’s no patrol, no response to incursions in short no consequqneces. Just ask he Chinse, the Romans & many others!
Also no welfare, e-verify enforced and no drop-a-kid-citizenship!
Do all of that & the problem would be barely a trickle!
BOTH parties are hell bent on completing the GHW Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
Particularly the Amnesty Senators who have already shown US that they side with illegal aliens and not the citizens and the rule of law.
Rubio, Graham, Hoeven, Alexander, etc.
The Democrats won’t agree to any barriers no matter what you or I or Trump calls them. They’ll sooner vote to cut off their own oxygen supply because that’s what immigration is to them politically.
Two suggestions
1. Issue Wall bonds, 3% no tax bonds.
2. Hire Mexicans at 30% of American wages from the 10 billion of Foreign aid we just gave Mexican and Central American countries to build the wall. This will get the whole wall built.
Illegals are building homes all over the Southwest, may as well have them work cheap for us.
Sigh. Rush. It’s our wall.
Trump fought the swamp and the swamp won. Reminds me of a song.
indeed
This is a Trump tactic to position himself as the good guy and still get his $5B or $4B and all the judges immediately.
For 50 cents an hour, heck no. No reasonable American citizen would work for slave wages. Next point?
Being that’s the reason.

It is past time to give our POTUS help! Let’s roll and contact these traitors! We want that wall and we want it NOW!
When he read off some names of supporters in the Senate, I came unglued as my own KS Senator Sam Brownback was a signatory to that bill and I was all over him, his local and DC offices, letting him know that I had worked as a volunteer in his local office to get him elected, only to have him (Brownback) stab us in the back!
Mark Belling sat in for Rush during that time and he was talking opposite to Rush, all for this Amnesty. I was incensed and got on the phone and internet to demand Rush clarify to his listeners he was adamantly opposed to the position of his guest host, Mark Belling!
I also let Rush’s call screener and also by email that I refused to tune into his show each time he elected to put Belling on and how disgusted I was to even have him as a substitute host!
No, Rush stood firmly opposed to McCain/Kennedy Amnesty and it affected his relationship with W thereafter.
I also discontinued my subscription to the Journal, especially after reading on their Amnesty editorial pages’ support, at that time!
I would have no longer tuned into Rush thereafter, had he even hinted a support for Amnesty.
You are right.
Yes, your memory is different than mine. I got involved in the immigration movement with Prop 187 in 1994. Major players for immigration control approached Rush back then and he wouldn’t give them the time of day. And that didn’t change for a decade. He would routinely repeat some nonsense that his grandfather said about immigration circa 1920 as if that was pertinent to the disaster hitting California today.
What finally got Rush to stop carrying water (his words) for the GOP establishment was the firestorm that the grassroots hit DC with when Bush junior tried to ram his amnesty through. And even then Rush was a weak reed. I know all too well how Rush ran after the parade yelling “wait! wait! I’m your leader!” I’m glad that he finally gave up being a no borders Bush stooge but I have no illusions about what he was before that.
Ahh Rubio. Rush’s rock-ribbed conservative. Good times.
“full throated”
And that was AFTER Rubio’s amnesty betrayal.
The best thing that could happen to Washington is a direct hit by a small asteroid.
