New White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly believes he has convinced President Donald Trump to abandon his pledge to construct a large and lengthy wall along the border separating the United States and Mexico, according to The New Yorker.
At a private meeting in tony Aspen, Colorado, two weeks ago, Kelly told a group of high-profile attendees that he had extensively discussed the border wall issue with Trump. Kelly believes he persuaded Trump to abandon his policy goal of erecting a lengthy wall along the 1,954-mile border which the United States shares with Mexico, according to The New Yorker.
Instead of a wall, Kelly said he suggested Trump could utilize a combination of complex monitoring equipment, continuous air surveillance and many miles of fencing can effectively secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
Such a combination of materials and surveillance would be called a “barrier” instead of a “wall,” Kelly told his audience.

Uh oh.
In his testimony before Congress Kelly indicated he would rather Congress change the laws for illegal aliens than remove them.
"...I pray to God this isn't true..."
Fake news.
The old Virtual Fence. Been there, done that. Or rather, didn’t do that, since it was just another excuse for maintaining the status quo.
If we start seriously enforcing immigration law and kicking out the illegal immigrants, we may not need a wall.
FAKE NEWS ALERT!
The RINO’s in Washington want the cheap labor getting across the border by the front door or the back door with those “work visas-permits” with the “H 1” designations.
The proof of what’s really happening is in that pudding.
Building the Wall is president Trumps read my lips if he abandons it adios.
The wall is a more then a practical barrier its a symbol of the government returning to its rightful role and protecting its citzens as well as listening to them.
We want the frickin wall
according to The New Yorker.
Phew, it isn’t real news.
FAKE NEWS
Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun - there will DEFINITELY be a wall
Tues, Thurs, Sat - not so much
More fake news again without a single identified source.
no kidding. since when do we have to wait two weeks for stuff to be leaked.
I predict Rush will note that this is another attempt by the fake news to separate Trump from his supporters.
Trump should explain that the reason for the wall is that a physical wall can’t be turned off or pulled back.
We need the wall to stop the 20 times deported from returning.
We absolutely need the wall. Of course, it won’t stop, but it will significantly reduce the invasion.
Slight difference.
