After $15 billion and 450 miles, Joe Biden will halt border wall, Trump’s signature project
The Dallas Morning News ^ | Nov. 11, 2020 | Todd J. Gillman

Mexico never paid for any of it. It’s less than half finished. And on Jan. 20 or soon thereafter, construction will come to an abrupt halt on the “big beautiful wall” that President Donald Trump promised to build along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The project has cost $15 billion so far, most of it diverted from the military budget after Congress refused to provide full funding.

President-elect Joe Biden vowed during the campaign to kill the project, but leave in place whatever the Trump administration leaves behind.

At the moment, that’s about 400 miles worth of levee wall and 30-foot-tall bollard fencing, though nearly all of that mileage already had some sort of barrier before Trump took office. Only 12 miles did not.

If Trump is not sworn-in for his second term in January, we will never have a non-Derp State Stalinazi allowed to win the White House again. This IS the Communist Revolution, right here and right now. Excise it and stop the coup d’état now or the blood of millions will have to in the future.

What a genius. Mexico is in the middle of the pandemic, and has a death rate per capita about the same as the U.S.

A giant new billboard will be erected at each border crossing.

“Carriers Welcome”.

The Dallas Morning News, just as corrupt as it was decades ago when I used to read it when I worked for a national newspaper.

Texas may be “red State” but they also have other types of “reds” and they are anti-American, esp. in Dallas, Houston and Austin.

This article is so full of BS, anyone with half a brain cell would roll their eyes in disbelief. For example $15 billion is a rounding error to the overall military spend over the last four years. Second, it is more than half built.

We can keep it simple.

Under Corruptocrat Rule:

America will be sold to Communist China, and globalist elites.

The United States of America and the Constitution will be dead.

Hello Venezuela...

Pray for our nation like you have never prayed before.

As drugs and killings and human trafficking rises under Democratic rule, some people in Texas and Arizona might change their minds. New Mexico is too corrupt to salvage short of a lightning bolt taking out the corrupt Governor and AG.

Damn him.
Trump must be successful in the quest for this election’s honesty.

Trump values this nation, and if there is a way to legally
defend his second term and the nation, he will not spare
any energy to see that done.

I rule nothing out at this point.

What is this 2024 nonsense I keep seeing?

If the evil Corruptocrats get away with this coup, they will become a dictatorship.

Eventually Republicans will be dealt with, and removed.

No offense, but open your eyes.

If he’s turned out because of election fraud in 2020, how will the fraud be stopped in 2024 to keep him out?

If the wall gets finished, how will Cartels get their illegal drugs to our legislators?
