Amusing distraction. Just when will Trump exercise his clear constitutional authority and order the Army Corp of Engineers to build a wall/barrier to secure the southern border?

I think they’re inoculating themselves against a claim that Trump ordered resources that hurt our military preparedness—yes, as crazy as that claim is on the surface, given the military budget he won.

Just when will Trump...................


We do not want an efficient government. Our founding fathers understood this and so should we.

Think again, do you want an efficient government?

Two bulls standing on the hill watching the new heifers come in. “Lets run down there and breed a couple of them”, said the young bull. “Lets walk down there and breed them all,” said the old bull.

and the bull story is exactly what this article is about.

In the end, there will have to be several other pieces to the ‘fix’, beyond just the wall. A national ID card, more emphasis on colleges being responsible for their foreign students failing to leave, etc. There are various military-related technology programs that you could adapt and have a mile-by-mile grid laid out and guide the border patrol guys to each group attempting to cross over.

You obviously didn’t read the article. Contrary to reports in the media, he already is building/replacing sections of the wall. The article states that 126 miles have been completed over the past two years. Yes, it is mostly replacing failing or inadequate sections, but the end result is far better than what was there before.

Partner, we can not say enough times that we need a 30' High Southern Border Wall from San Diego, California down to Brownsville, Texas.

We just have too many corrupt officials in D.C. right now and we need to clean up this swamp right now, enough is enough. They are so clueless!!!

We have way too many Illegal Aliens in Texas right now!!!

We already know that the MSM gives the talking points to the DNC since the reporters keep telling us that we have 11 million to 12 million Illegal Aliens in this country right now. What a crock!!!

That’s coming. Going to be a veto of a congressional resolution first followed by court challenges. The USSC will hold the hammer on the latter. Meanwhile the $1.375B gets used to create “facts on the ground”. This time next year after the expedited court challenges get resolved, you’ll have significant progress on the wall.

This is the way it was always going to play out. Trump could not pre-maturely declare a state of emergency because of the impact that would have had on the political and legal processes. It’s still not a sure-thing, but it’s the last best chance.
