What a simpletons response
Its construction lasted over 2,300 years (680 BC – 1681 AD). Different sections of the Great wall were being built, destroyed, and renovated by 9+ dynasties.
Great reader of history you are Jim
Why not use the Maginot Line at least that’s recent history Built

And it was hundreds of years ago. Are you assuming there have been no technological advances since then, which would make it quicker to build it today?
The way we built things back then, and the way we build things today, are different. Sorry if that's going too fast for you.

Fine, let's stay on topic.
You said this:
" Only geographically challenged People would assume you could open and close a 2000 mile border"
We could seal that border up in a few years at most, if not within 2 years. It's a piece of cake, it's not even hard. Of course we'd still need people and resources there, but to say it can't be done is laughable. Most liberals don't even try to make the argument that we can't do it, they just say walls, like everything else they don't like, is racist.
Swimming. Swimming is racist, did you know that? That's what Fettterman's wife said.
And Fatty Abrams said 107 GA sheriffs "want to be able to take black people off the streets". Once the future star of the party, she's soon to be the left's Sarah Palin, soon to have her own show on MSNBC where you can feel the IQ points getting sucked out of your brain as you watch. Another racist lunatic getting kicked to the curb which is left-wing cable news. Al Sharpton, Joy Reid, what's-her-name-Cross, and soon Abrams will give MSNBC a quartet of hosts who blame everything on whitey.

the truth about the MAGA GOP Just look at Trump Jr tweets The internet remains undefeated… Also if you switch out the hammer for a red feather boa you could be Hunter Biden in an instant. and re tweets
Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready.
or their new hero Musk
Elon Musk, new owner of Twitter, tweets unfounded, anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theory about Paul Pelosi attack Musk deleted the tweet by early Sunday afternoon. why?
from a website that has a history of publishing false information. shocking and he's the smartest guy on the planet
Not sure why people still defend MAGA and Trump world
with excuses like I like their policies....
you don't have to be a republican or a democrat to see this for what
it is.. just be a Normal human

Jim its the reason why you want to build a wall thats Dumb .. its a simplitions approach to a bigger problem . and it wont solve anything
Congress needs to fix what's broken .... And if you want less migrant fix south and central America .. Because the United states F up decades ago and now we are feeling the affects of those mistakes
The forces driving ordinary people to leave their homes and put their lives at risk crossing deserts with smugglers to get to the US border are deeply rooted in Central America’s history of inequality and violence, in which the US has long played a defining role.

I can't help but notice something you shed light on...they will do ANYTHING to avoid talking about polls.
I should take out a life insurance policy in the name of "democracy" for 1 billion dollars.

We don't have the ability to "fix" the planet. It's a very simple proposition however, to secure our border, which accomplishes the same thing.
Drug dealers aren't using the southern border because of what's happening somewhere else. They use teh southern border because it's easy to cross.
There are bad people out there, who we should try to keep out. Again, same reason why you close and lock your front door at night...

And vandalize car dealerships, because nothing says "down with fascism" quite like destroying private property of people with whom you disagree.

Your hero, reknowned expert in wall building (along with everything) couldn’t build his wall in 4 years.
Yet you’re claiming you could do it in two, congratulations maybe you and the Swanson heir can get elected and accomplish your dream.
Then it’s off to the fallback position of victim, where you claim that just as many blacks can swim as whites or something because somebody’s wife said something and likely the Swanson heir took it out of context, but you repeated it as your ilk does.
Then off to a little fat shaming, mixed with racism for added effect, because we all know that you too are the least racist person we will ever meet.

"Your hero, reknowned expert in wall building (along with everything) couldn’t build his wall in 4 years."
He's not my hero, and I give him an F on keeping that promise. Unlike you, snowflake, I'm secure enough to be comfortable with the fact that people I support won't EVER be flawless. You are too delicate to concede that any democrat has veer had a flaw.
"you claim that just as many blacks can swim as whites"
Ah, you're still making up quotes I see, because I never said that.
There are some sports that are disproportionately white, some are disproportionately black. It's based on socioeconomics, not race.
Pete, is the 100 meter dash "racist"? Is break dancing racist?
Have fun answering that, big guy...
"Then off to a little fat shaming"
Because you never, ever make fun of republicans. Never.
"mixed with racism for added effect,"
What racism did I add?
Abrams is a big fat clown who, after she gets creamed next week (hopefully taking Warnock down with her) will fit in quite nicely at MSNBC with the other hosts who have a deep loathing for white people, and who get rich blaming white people for everything (because that's unifying!!). There's at least 3 others there already.

no its moronic to suggest we don't
Yet republicans are so Advance Arizona’s governor is stacking shipping containers along the border and what's funny
Ducey, a Republican, issued an executive order in August
I guess 1,000-foot gap near Yuma, Arizona.didn't exist the 4 years when Trump was in Office ..
More GOP stunts
Question did you get a refund from We Build the Wall who prayed on gullible people who think the walls are the solution or have you never heard of them either
Brian Kolfage admitted to pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars while promising all donations would pay for the wall. His plea came a month before a trial in a case that began in dramatic fashion in August 2020, when Bannon was pulled from a luxury yacht off the coast of Connecticut and arrested on allegations that he and three others ripped off donors trying to fund a southern border wall.
Bannon was pardoned by Trump just before he left office last year. Bannon had pleaded not guilty to charges he pocketed over $1 million, using some of the money to secretly pay Kolfage, a 39-year-old Air Force veteran who lost both legs in a mortar attack in Iraq.

Oh, you're hiding over here now?
Please tell me why it's ok for the entire left to jump to the conclusion that Mr Pelosi's attack was politically motivated, but you say it's wrong for Rubio to make the same exact assumption about the attack on his volunteer?
Why won't you answer? Cat got your tongue?
