“There will never be a 2,200-mile wall built, period,” said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), a supporter of immigration reform who challenged Trump in the 2016 primaries. “I think it’s become symbolic of better border security. It’s a code word for better border security. If you make it about actually building a 2,200-mile wall, that’s a bridge too far — but I’m mixing my metaphors.”

Republicans really need to have a convention to decide what a "wall" really means. I've heard so many different things from different Republicans that it's getting exhausting.

The damn horror.

We need the wall to prevent open borders republicans and democrats from neglecting the border and enforcing immigration laws.

It's a necessary safeguard against future open borders administrations.

This was said awhile back, where the God Emperor said "bullshite".


Besides, why in the hell would Graham cover for Trump in the first place? His erections was handled after Trump bombed Syria, but only temporarily.

Sorry to tell you but Miss Lindsay is right. There's never going to be a wall.

I measured the border with Mexico myself on Google Earth. I don't know where Graham is getting 2200 miles. It's just under 2000.

And FWIW only about 1000 miles needs a wall. The other parts are WAY too dangerous to cross (unless you are pretty sophisticated).

Remember the purpose of a wall. It funnels people to certain points along the border to help make Border Patrol's job easier.

Trump just bent the knee to GOP leader Ryan and will not demand wall funding in the budget.

It means a fricking wall. People need to quit trying to figure out what he means. He's a simpleton. He means a brick and mortar wall. He even gave some stupid criteria. There is no mystery to decipher.

If you think Lindsey Graham speaks for Donald Trump then I'd recommend you seek psychiatric help.

The fact Toddy is stating definitively that there won't be a wall is a strong indication that a big beautiful wall will be built

There is no one more consistently wrong on this site. Not even Peej or HHM.

It isn't called providing cover. it's called backstabbing.
