VILNIUS. Aug 10 (Interfax/BNS) - Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite has said she hopes that the fortifications on the Lithuanian-Belarusian border will be ready within a year. "There will be no efficient protection of our border without a physical barrier. When the bill is adopted, it will be possible to build this, a physical barrier, within a very short time, two times faster. Hopefully, this will be done within a year," Bilotaite said at a press conference on Tuesday. The government submitted a bill on building a barrier to the Seimas (parliament) on Tuesday and asked that it be considered...

The U.S. government collected its first fine as part of a new bilateral deal that forces Mexico to prosecute anyone who damages the fence along one part of the southern border and send penalties collected to the United States. American and Mexican leaders reached a deal a year ago this week to start arresting, prosecuting, and seeking damages from anyone caught attempting to destroy border barrier in southeastern California, where Border Patrol made $396,000 worth of repairs at 1,300 cuts in its fence in fiscal 2019.

The Trump administration has not installed a single mile of new wall in a previously fenceless part of the U.S.-Mexico border in the 30 months since President Trump assumed office, despite his campaign promise to construct a “big beautiful wall.” ... all the fencing completed since Trump took office is "in place of dilapidated designs" because the existing fence was in need of replacement. The agency said that it had built 51 miles of steel bollard fence with funding that was set aside during fiscal 2017 and 2018. But while the funding was meant both to replace outdated walls and...

The City Council in Nogales, which sits on the border with Nogales, Mexico, wants the federal government to remove all concertina wire installed within the city limits. Otherwise, Nogales Mayor Arturo Garino said the city will sue. City officials say Army troops installed more horizontal layers of the wire along the border wall last weekend. The council's resolution says the razor wire would harm or kill anyone who scales the wall and "is only found in a war, prison or battle setting" and should not be in downtown Nogales. In a statement, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the...

South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham issued a statement Thursday calling for President Donald Trump to invoke national emergency powers to fund his border wall. "Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi's refusal to negotiate on funding for a border wall/barrier -- even if the government were to be reopened -- virtually ends the congressional path to funding for a border wall/barrier," Graham said in a statement. "It is time for President Trump to use emergency powers to fund the construction of a border wall/barrier."

RUSH: Well, let’s welcome to the program the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence. Greetings, sir. I’m glad you could carve some time out for us today. How are you? THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Rush. It’s always an honor. I just left the Oval Office — told the president I was headed to be on your program — and we couldn’t be more grateful for your voice on the airwaves of America every day. Everything we’ve accomplished over the last two years — rebuilding our military, reviving our economy, setting a record for conservatives appointed to our...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Tuesday that she will trade absolutely “nothing” to give President Donald Trump his border wall if Democrats take back the House and she regains her Speakership. When a questioner at Harvard’s Institute of Politics mentioned that a border wall is important to people in places like rural Pennsylvania and wondered if Pelosi would be willing to trade for something to give Republicans the border wall, Pelosi replied, “nothing.” Pelosi said Trump’s border wall is “immoral, expensive, ineffective, not something that people do between countries.”

Parliament will vote on Monday over whether to build a 70 km long, 1.5 meter-high fence along Denmark’s border with Germany. The aim of the fence is to stop wild boar spreading the swine flu virus into Denmark, but environmental organizations have expressed doubts as to its effectiveness and concerns over its effect on local wildlife. The barrier is one of a number of proposals put forward by the Ministry for Food and the Environment aimed at preventing the African swine fever virus from spreading amongst Denmark’s large pig population. A majority consisting of the government and Danish People’s Party...

The main ruse of all Soros-funded NGOs is constant litigation. Today, most illegal immigrants enter countries in the EU legally but overstay or violate whatever visa they may have obtained. When the illegals get detained waiting for a deportation trial, lawyers employed by NGOs funded by billionaire George Soros, have unlimited funds to plead for their release. *snip* When a migrant is caught inside Hungary, he is instantly transferred to the transit zone, through one of the gates. This act is not deportation, but detention as the migrant is still in Hungary. Lawyers from these NGOs can do nothing to...

Denmark’s conservative parties have backed a motion to erect a 70-kilometre-long fence along the country’s border with Germany in a measure to protect pork exports. The government and parliamentary ally the Danish People’s Party agreed on Thursday on a number of proposals aimed at preventing the African swine fever virus from spreading amongst the country’s large pig population. Those measures include a fence to run along a large stretch of the border with Germany. “I do not want to take any risk. We have an export industry worth 11 billion kroner (1.5 billion euros) annually which could be put at...

The judge whom President Trump once attacked for his Mexican heritage has ruled in favor of the administration in a lawsuit attempting to block Trump's porposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose parents immigrated from Mexico, ruled Tuesday against a legal challenge to the wall over environment waivers granted by the Department of Homeland Security. The ruling means that the administration will be able to continue waiving the regulations to build barriers on the border. Trump had targeted Curiel during the 2016 presidential race, claiming the judge might be biased against him in a lawsuit...

Forget Donald Trump's Great Wall. The people who live in the bustling, fertile Rio Grande Valley, where the U.S. border meets the Gulf of Mexico, think a "virtual wall" of surveillance technology makes a lot more sense. It's already in wide use and expanding.

Evidently, Donald Trump had a huge impact on Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto during his visit to Mexico City in August. Mexican officialss are talking about building a great wall on its southern border with Central America. The Daily Mail reported: It seems Mexico agrees with Donald Trump’s plans to build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants – but only on its southern border with Central America. Mexicans are calling for the border wall to keep out Guatemalans, Salvadorans and Hondurans fleeing violence in their own countries. They complain ‘hordes’ of immigrants pass through on their way to the...

Hillary Clinton has put physical distance between herself and her supporters as she continues to recover from pneumonia, nursing herself from inside her Chappaqua, New York, home. But large, concrete barriers outside the property and Secret Service officers occupying large black SUVs also block gawkers from getting too close. Onlookers and media can wander down Clinton's road until they reach the concrete structures. They must not, however, park on the street or set foot on the grass. Otherwise, police officers will come to shoo them away.

One hopes that during his visit with Mexican President Enrique Pena Lieto, Donald Trump reminded him of Mexico’s hypocrisy on border security and immigration control. Trump should remind those who alternately accuse him of a racist immigration stance and then flip-flopping when he softens it that border security could be achieved simply by adapting Mexico’s policies. In 2014, Breitbart News reported that Mexico deported more illegal aliens than did the United States as part of its strict control of its borders: From January to December, Mexico deported 107,199 Central Americans immigrants by land, while the U.S. only deported 104,688 illegal...

ENTIRE TITLE: "Is this what Trump's new borders could look like? New Mexico town is having a chain-liked fence used to keep illegal immigrants out replaced with an 18ft high STEEL WALL" A New Mexico town is having an 18ft steel wall being built across the border to replace a dilapidated chain-link fence. The new barrier is being put up in Sunland Park along a section of one of the most unprotected parts of the Mexican-American border. Only 10ft high fencing dotted with holes has separated the town from dangerous neighborhoods just a few miles away since the 1980s. Since...

It’s no secret that Democrats really want to dominate with the Hispanic demographic. It contributed to their victory over Mitt Romney in 2012, and with Trump proudly declaring he’ll build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants—they view winning these folks again to be a cakewalk. There’s also a bit of trolling going on, especially since Hillary Clinton tapped an illegal alien to assist in Hispanic voter outreach. She’s also reaching out to “Dreamers,” children brought over into the United States illegally, along with their parents (via Associated Press): The 730,000 young people brought to the U.S. as children without...

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said on Tuesday he was willing to meet with Donald Trump, months after comparing the Republican presidential candidate to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. "Yes, I would meet with him," Pena Nieto said, referring to Trump in a pre-taped television interview broadcast on Tuesday night. "I have never met him. I can't agree with some of the things he has said, but I will be absolutely respectful and will seek to work with whomever becomes the next president of the United States."

So, Trump is the candidate. Unlike Ted Cruz, a man I supported and still respect, I do endorse The Donald for President of These Unites States. That being said, I always look at who runs for office in a futuristic way. What I mean is, what will our future be like if said politician got what he wants when elected. It's an easy question that I have yet to hear anyone ask, or answer. What if Donald Trump does build the wall and it works so well that the only way in, or out of America is through Trump Wall?...
