“...explained why a border wall wouldn’t be practical ....”
Mainly because he doesn’t want it, not that it would be impractical or ineffective, just because it wouldn’t be practical for him to suck up to his bosses with it.
Maybe the Bush clan should move the Kennebunkport mansion to the border...?
Regardless of the overwhelming disregard for Bush here, he’s right about this.
Along much of the Texas border with Mexico, a wall is completely impractical.
Through Big Bend National Park?? Have you been there?
Along the Rio Grande — where you going to build it? Build it on the US side and block ranchers from the water they need? Invade Mexico and build it on their side? Or put it down the middle?
A wall works, somewhat, along the desert (absent tunnels and ladders), but there are other ways of patrolling and securing that make better sense in Texas.
"Those Flyover-country Americans, they're so stereotypical, aren't they? /sarc
Funny from Mr. “I’m a conservative and they aren’t” that doing what’s right and good for the Nation is impractical but free college and other stuff is the way to go...even Christie has managed to leverage how bad Bush is ....
Besa mi culo, señor Bush!
Of course he doesn’t think a wall would be practical, he wants to keep the border wide open.
Another not a winner is Christie, he was running his mouth this morning about the border and it was obvious he has not even done a 5 minute Google search about it. He said a wall or fence on the whole border wouldn’t work but we sure need to fence the populated areas. I hate to be the one to inform him but we forced Bush to do at least that much before Obama halted it. It was a pretty hot issue in the media at the time but Christie didn’t get the memo so it is easy to see how concerned he is about the border issues.
