    Correction: the Republicans do not want to protect our borders because Trump refuses to obey the law and prosecute those who hire illegals.

    Anyone who supports him is a traitor, just like him.

    Republicans who support him are as well. They refuse to obey the law, create a political stalemate, then they point the finger at Democrats for creating the mess which was created by the GOP.

    Actually he was elected to drain the swamp. Judging by the number of corrupt people he has appointed and who have bedn driven out of office I would say his supporters got suckered.

    Russia just finished its state of the art wall separating Crimea from Ukraine, and it was done quickly and cheaply - so they made Trump an offer.

    Anyway the best thing is to have a wall and check the workers as they come in and leave. They shouldn't be living here permanently and they wouldn't want to live here permanently if conditions were better in their home country. Let them send their money home, and have them pay social security so they can collect the benefits when they retire. The money would go much further outside of the US, so there's no way they would want to live here even if it was offered to them.

    All this would help build up the economy of the country they came from and the problem would solve itself. I'm not joking. This is what Germany did decades ago, and the workers stopped going there as soon as their own nations began to prosper. At that time Germany wouldn't allow workers to remain more than 2 years, but the companies began to complain about having to train men, so they changed the law to accommodate them. Big mistake!

    i have a front door and my property is fenced so yeah, i like the idea of a wall to keep out those that shouldn't be anywhere near me. i think the problem is that few like Trump and his combative style. maybe if Trump stopped being Trump then others would warm to the wall.

    And to hell with the cost for his stupid wall that mexico isn't paying for. Right. Everybody wants to improve border security, but for some reason after two years trump STILL can't articulate what the damn thing is supposed to be. He has shut down the government over a wall, while depriving the second largest law enforcement agency in the nation of needed funds to upgrade security measures at ports of entry etc over it. Nonsensical churlish fight that is hurting federal employees for NO GOOD REASON!

    Any cooperation with Israeli Wall Construction?
    Russian Israeli Cooperation?
    Seriously.
    Similar approaches. Differences.


    DEAR ALL I support the existence of a Jewish State, Israel
    created by a 2/3rds vote of the U.N. General Assembly.

    That understood I only mean to point out Israel has modern
    experience of wall building between high density populations.

    Why not consult the most experienced? Duh Uh!

    Gracias :roflol:
    M.E. people don't recognize Mexicans and get suspicious of them.
    My Mexican America friend regularly got "inspected" by Israeli security.

    Stories galore. Good thing he could keep his cool and not melt as I would have.
    And then there were those Egyptians who blew up via air force, a bus
    load of Mexicans visiting the Middle East.

    Actually it is a sign of high intellect.

    What did Democrats get from Obama? 700 miles of wall with Mexico.

    When i lived in Germany it was that way. I wondered why Germany only allowed them 2 years at the time and got some explanation of why at that time. I was told by Germans that they imported Greek workers a lot.

    NEWS WITH VIEWS

    The Wall, The Wall, The Wall: Are We A Country Or A Destination For Freeloaders?
    By Frosty Wooldridge ~ NWV ~ Dec 27, 2018

    U.S. Senate member Charles Schumer, (D-NY) refuses to defend America. He refuses to take his oath of office seriously. He refuses to allow a wall to be built across the Mexican border to stop drug trafficking at $120 billion annually, year after year. He refuses to stop 500,000 illegal aliens annually who jump our borders. He won’t stop and hasn’t stopped the 300,000 illegal pregnant mothers annually who birth their child on our soil and then force us to pay for their welfare for the next 18 years.

    U.S. House member Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA), calls illegal aliens, “These immigrants are the future of America.” She doesn’t connect that they are illegal alien border jumpers who broke our laws and violate our Constitution every single day of their existence in America. She doesn’t care that they work off the books, pay no taxes and send cash transfers to the tune of $70 billion annually back to their home countries, thus draining our finances and adding to the $21 trillion national debt.


    Those two culprits don’t stand alone. Look at Mitch McConnell, (R-KY), speaker of the Senate, does nothing to protect America’s borders in his ‘forever’ corrupt criminal career as a U.S. senator. Same with all 100 senators who do nothing to stop the invasion of our borders. Same with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, (R-WI), who did nothing during his career to stop the illegal invasion.

    Thus, those people shut down the U.S. government to stop Trump’s wall that would cost a fraction of what it costs to support over 22 million illegal aliens inside our country and growing by 500,000 annually according to Dr. Steven Camarota of www.cis.org.

    We pay an astounding estimated $296 billion annually across 15 federal agencies to feed, house, medically care for, education and births of illegal aliens. It never ends. It continues year after year.


    And yet, these nitwits in Congress quibble over $5 billion or $20 billion for the wall, when we pay $296 billion annually to support those 22 million illegal aliens. (Source: Yale Research study on the number of illegal aliens within the USA, September 2018.)

    You must ask the question: who remains in charge of the insane asylum titled: The United States Congress? What are those 535 people doing daily for us, the voters and citizens of this country? Answer: jack squat.


    Question: why did you vote your democratic or Republican House member or senator back into office when all of them refuse to stop the invasion of our borders? That must be the question of the century. Why would a country allow itself to be invaded, and in fact, pay for the invaders, but not pay for a wall to stop the invaders?

    Sometimes I wonder if the citizens of this country simply grow tired of their freedoms, their citizenship, their language, their culture and their way of life. They become apathetic, lazy and complacent. They don’t vote, and they don’t engage.

    Jared Diamond wrote a best-selling book on anthropology about how societies collapse. It’s titled: Collapse—How Societies Succeed or Fail.

    Guess what? The United States of America gallops along on the “failure” path like a horse possessed of locoweed. The horse gallops out of his mind. The people of America race along with no concern for the future, no understanding of what another 140 million more immigrants mean to this civilization and no comprehension of what their children face.

    It beats the hell out of me how our elected leaders can’t see what’s coming, but in fact, aid and abet the destruction of our “way of life” our environment and our culture. And, we sit by and watch it happen.

    The Europeans commit themselves to the same future of destroyed cultures, overpopulation, living beyond carrying capacity and religious conflict that will degrade their rule of law and their cultures into mongrel multiculturalistic societies. And, we already see their descending toward the gates of hell.

    Last week, a Moslem terrorist shot people up in Strasburg, Germany. A Moslem in Morocco beheaded two Swedish girls who were stupid enough to go hiking in the hills. He videotaped cutting their heads off as they screamed for their lives. I winced at the video.

    Guess what, the United States of America now features 23 to 27 ‘honor killings’ annually in this country. We feature 500,000 cases of female genital mutilation. We’ve got endless mini-terrorist acts in Detroit, Michigan; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Miami, Florida; Freemont, California and New York City.


    We’ve got 35 documented Muslim terrorist training camps from New York to California. What’s being done about them? We’re actually supporting them with food stamps and welfare on our tax dollars.

    If you thought 2018 featured enough craziness in Europe, Canada and America—-you ain’t seen nothing yet.

    Stay keen. This impresses, code word for infringing upon White Privilege.


    Although Pelosi and Schumer are committing, treason, by intentionally flooding the nation with illegal imms/refusing to allow $5-billion for the wall.

    Since Trump has no moral compass and doesn't care about the lives that he is affecting, I agree that he should declare a national
    emergency and build his "wall" so that he can "win" and satisfy his oversized ego, which is first and foremost on his mind. He is totally lacking in pragmatism, an essential quality for a president. The security of our nation is being affected as TSA agents are calling in sick and people cannot pay their bills and feed their families. Air traffic controllers may be next to call in sick. Sad.
    The "yet to be defined technology" is yet to be defined because Trump hasn't researched it or even discussed the options with advisors and experts, since "nobody knows more about technology than me" which is as humorous as "I know more than the generals".
    That being said, I support some wall and some technology combined and always have. My fear is that the funds that Trump is demanding is only the down payment and he will demand more, being the con that he is, and close the government again if he doesn't get the funds.

    The border security installation (aka TEH WALL) cost peanuts. In terms of national budget, it’s less then peanuts. It’s nothing, an apostrophe, an arithmetic mistake.
