You are setting the world record for responding to something no one has ever said. I never said that 100% of border patrol folks support the wall. But most I have heard, do. That's why Fox has border patrol agents and executives explaining why the wall will help, while the other networks have liberal politicians on saying the wall is racist. I haven't seen a lot of border patrol agents on CNN or MSNBC. There's a reason for that.

Can you go through one thread, without responding to something that no one ever said?
Rounding errors got us to a record deficit, budgets are controlled either by ensuring creep does not occur or by chopping off whole parts. This is a massive increase with no proven benefit. Now, true to form, you'll spout some rhetoric about how I shouldn't care because whatabout.
Where did I say you said every border patrol folk is for the wall, I gave you some reasoning for why this might not be a valid reason to jump on this train.
Why does not a single representative from any district on the entire Mexican border support a WALL?

WTF does this statement relate to in this thread prior to it
"Paul, doesnit mean anything to you, that all the border patrol agents i’ve seen, including the man who led the entire border patrol under obama, say the wall will help"

You didn't start the thread and you don't control the direction, though you certainly want to make sure all agree with you or else.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
