Thanks for the video that visually shows that the wall is a deterrent. Some will be able to scale it, a lot, including little children, won't. One piece of the puzzle on how to deter many illegal border crossings.

Wayne,just write “walls that work” and you will be enlightened. People like you who have opinions that are based on ignorance make me chuckle. Do you think we need a wall around the White House?

You have to wonder why they put them around prisons if they don’t work.

Let's be very clear here, if you truly despise Trump and only like him for his policies, you have a choice.
If you choose Trump over Walsh, the only rational explanation is that you’re voting for Trump’s character.
You can just acknowledge that character doesn't matter to you, sort of like fiscal responsibility, free trade and the Constitution and you can't look at another candidate.

Joe Walsh, similar policies on immigration, the border, Supreme Court, etc. but was born not hatched, will divest himself of his business and is not looking to become the royal family of the USA.

Can you can you walk me through how you arrived at your decision to run?

Because the guy’s a madman. The guy is completely unfit and unhinged. He lies every time he opens his mouth. When he got elected, Olivia, look: I voted for him. I didn’t love him. I didn’t like him. He wasn’t Hillary.

When he first got elected, I tried doing the good-Trump-bad-Trump thing every day. But that didn’t last that long, because I realized pretty quickly that he just lies all the time, and then he finally lost me at Helsinki, when he stood in front of the world and said, “I’m with Putin and not my own people.” From that moment on, a little over a year ago, it’s just been downhill.

I’m stunned and disappointed that a bigger Republican isn’t challenging him. I waited for months, and I thought somebody would get in. I wrote a piece in the New York Times three weeks ago, and that piece was a plea. I would tweet and say stuff on my radio show with every idiotic thing he did, Come on guys, somebody — and it just wasn’t happening, and some people came to me, and I started to look into it the last month or so.

Pete, wrong at every turn. i don’t believe Walsh can win. I believe trump has a chance. i really wish there was a viable republican candidate with a realistic chance to win, who was a better person.

how about all the democrats who voted for hilary in 2016 over bernie? were they necessarily endorsing her character?

i could
do a write in vote for Condaleeza Rice if character is literally all that matters. But winning matters.

i’m voting for
trump over walsh if theres a primary, because the choice as i see it, is trump or whatever freak comes out of the democratic primaries.

why i voted for him over Hilary? simple. i want a potus who will secure the nation, protect the unborn, grow the economy, and appoint judges who understand that they cannot violalate the constitution when it pleases them. looking at it through that lense, just about any republican is better than
just about any democrat. and before you say i’m a thoughtless gop zombie, i voted for bill clinton and think he was a good potus. i’m also in favor of gay marriage ( supported it long before most democrats did), and in favor of
more gun control, and opposed
to the death penalty.

Congress funded the military. The President is commander in chief of the military, and directs how the military and how its resources will be deployed in defense of the nation. Congress is comprised of the House and the Senate. The Senate plus the President can override the House. Which Constitution are you talking about?

Call it what you want,it is a deterrent. Any guess why it is there? And did you have time to use google or do you prefer to run blind and spout off.... Are you naive enough to actually think that the wall will be the only obstacle to stop illegals from entering. Jeez

clearly your Naive to think Trump and his supporters care about anything else except the wall ... and their foolish enough to think its already being built ...

google Trumps wall responses More than two years later, Trump’s wall remains unbuilt

Before Trump became president, 654 miles of the nearly 2,000-mile U.S. Mexico border had primary barriers. As of today, that hasn’t increased.

Under the Obama administration, total ICE deportations were above 385,000 each year in fiscal years 2009-2011, and hit a high of 409,849 in fiscal 2012. The numbers dropped to below 250,000 in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.

Under Trump, ICE deportations fell to 226,119 in fiscal 2017, then ticked up to over 250,000 in fiscal 2018 and hit a Trump administration high of 282,242 this fiscal year (as of June).

yea googles Great

Ha,you are funny but seem infected withTDS. Try to picture the wall being built to discourage illegals from entering the country. Now just picture our President doing this to protect our borders and citizens from potential crime. Try not to invoke Trump into this conversation, just leave him out....

NOW does the wall work?

You do have a problem with a President demanding the federal government go ahead and seize private land and then promising to pardon those who seized the land. Don’t you?

Must be a snowflake.

Congressman Will Hurd of Texas is an increasingly lonely voice in the “build the wall” Republican Party of Donald Trump. A 41-year-old former undercover CIA officer, Hurd represents one of the largest congressional districts in America, Texas’ 23rd, a vast expanse of land roughly the size of Georgia that stretches from San Antonio to El Paso.

Hurd’s district includes 820 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, more than any other member of the House of Representatives. But if you’re expecting Hurd, who was narrowly re-elected to a third term last year, to support President Trump’s “big, beautiful wall” and stand with the decision to partially shut down the federal government over the fight, you’ve got it all wrong. Trump’s border crisis is a “myth,” Hurd tells Rolling Stone, and a wall made of cement or steel slats is a “third-century solution to a 21st-century problem.”


“What I always say is building a wall from sea to shining sea is the most expensive and least effective way to do border security,” Hurd says.

Hey if Trump looses in 2020, he can always get a job as a weatherman, or I really think he would be the super sharpie sales rep for the eastern US. Nobody draws a better black fake wind field circle than Trump.

I thought it was great that the triggered dummies at CNN, while attacking trump managed to mistake Alabama for Mississippi...you'd think that a high-minded, more highly educated American news organizations would know the difference

False equivalence, if they had then started tweeting and claiming that Alabama was once or really Mississippi, they’d be in line with Trump’s behavior.
