There will be no wall. It was just campaign rhetoric
No wall, no GOP, no peace.
>> It was just campaign rhetoric
Nonsense. Trump is a producer/builder by trade. Don’t displace Establishment malfeasance onto Trump’s shoulders.
“There will be no wall”
LOL. This reminds me of that famous Obama quote “Trump will never be president”.
I’m actually 100% sure that there will be a wall. Most of the land is already owned by the federal government and Trump can use money appropriated to other agencies very easily.
“There will be no wall.”
My guess is that there will some wall - the question is how much? It is too easy to build a a few miles in a high profile area.
The Plan which has been released lays out three phases, starting in the urban areas that straddle the border, like San Diego, El Paso, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley (McAllen and Brownsville) - but “Phase Three” is the bulk of the rural stretches.
My guess is that they will build bigger and better barriers in the cities, but enthusiasm and funding will likely peter out after a couple of years, before the rural areas are done (but they will have more sensors and Border Patrol).
Illegal immigration is already plummeting. As other policies start to bite (like cutting off benefits and expediting deportations), the problem could well fade from people’s priorities. Other problems will no do doubt crop up and steal the spotlight.
Enough wall to extract loud howls of pain from the left, will likely answer the mail on keeping the campaign promise.
Spoken like a true Trump-basher—just like during the campaign...
That's what I said from day 1 it astounds me there are still some who refuse to accept this reality. I didn't vote for him because I believed in some campaign balderdash. I voted for him to stop the beast which he did so I'm happy.
If the wall ends up getting built great I'll be the first to admit I was wrong and he a happy passenger on the Trump Train. And I'm talking about a real wall, like the one around Israel now not some glorified barbed wire fence like some are already conceding to maintain their Trump fantasy. We already have flimsy fence at most of the border already. We don't need more of that.
As you can see though there are still plenty clinging to fantasy (because that's what they voted for, a fantasy rather than reality). He will (and can and already has) deported thousands because he can as president (the chief executive). And I certainly applaud him for that.
But he can't swoop in and order a "big beautiful wall" built like he clearly implied during the campaign. And now reality is running smack into that campaign fantasy, and because you dare point this out you are on the receiving end of those who are frustrated their fantasy isn't real.
you are an imbecile
