In San Diego, officials say new wall is helping bring border numbers down

In November last year, a caravan of hundreds of migrants approached the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego and faced old landing-mat border barriers erected decades ago. Border agents say the migrants simply trampled over it as they sought entry into the United States to claim asylum as part of migrant waves that would overwhelm authorities.

The situation on the ground is much different now.

The President tries as best he can despite a hateful congress to fulfill his promises. Anyone who thinks congress has been his pal is a liar.

Good. Now the locals can do something about the homeless. SD is very attractive to them.

After hearing about the price of gasoline in California, I’d be loading up my truck and moving to Tennessee.

Their taxes are cruel and unusual punishment.

They forgot to put “unexpectedly” in the title. Border walls work, who knew? /s

Cripes.

The bleeding hearts already spend too much taxpayer money on the homeless and they’re always looking to spend more instead of actually addressing the problem with real solutions like deportations, trips to the drunk tank, mental wards or other charity services that get them off the street.

I’d love to move to Nashville, but I have too much stuff. Maybe I should start selling it to pay my taxes, then when I’ve got nothing left to sell, i’ll take a ride on the Chattanooga Choo Choo and try to get some work as a studio musician.
