All we actually got was less than 40 miles of this, most of that was done under GWB. BUT, guess who stopped the construction?


I assume you're just repeating numbers you heard somewhere else and got really angry about, because 613 of the 700 miles were built. This amazing wall was breached almost 10,000 times costing $7 million dollars to repair (SOURCE), most illegals simply walked around the wall in unfortified areas SOURCE, and it was routinely climbed or driven over with ramps. Things Trump's much higher bollard wall would solve...if he was actually building the whole wall like that and extending it through the unprotected areas.

So...let me ask you, what are you even talking about, and why do you do no research before you spout numbers you're angry about for no reason?

We did not even get 50 miles of the fence that was signed into law back in 2006.

I am going to post it again, lease show me where 700 miles of this type fence was built:



The NYTs? C'mon man get real. They have been busted so many times lying against American causes its pathetic and its a wonder they are still in business.

That is a work that has been in process for about the last 3 1/2 years and will be an on-going project for the next 5 years.

At EVERY turn, the left and the RINOs have been trying to stop America's Wall on the southern border but DJT, like him or hate him, has been making tremendous progress in getting our southern border secured.

Please, you are projecting so just stop.

BTW, the visa overstay issue is being addressed as well:

quote:

The President’s plan has two parts. First, it recognizes that full border security is the bedrock of any functioning immigration system and proposes functional, operational, and structural reforms to strengthen America’s border infrastructure and laws. Second, it creates a new merit-based legal immigration system that protects American wages and safety net programs, prioritizes immediate families, and creates a fair and transparent process for immigration to America


A couple points:

quote:

Fully secure the border. The President’s plan creates a permanent, self-sustaining border security fund. Paid for with fees and revenues generated at ports of entry, the trust fund will ensure that law enforcement officers never have to wait on Congress to give them the resources to do their jobs. It would also make certain that 100 percent of people and goods entering the United States are properly inspected at ports of entry. The plan will facilitate quick completion of barrier construction in strategic locations and combat visa overstays through legal and infrastructural enhancements.


quote:

Modernize the legal immigration process to protect American workers. About 70 percent of immigrants who come to the United States today are admitted based on family relationships or through a random visa lottery—a system that favors random chance over the skills our economy needs. Through a point-based merit system, the President’s plan increases the number of legal immigrants selected based on skill or merit from 12 percent to 57 percent. The plan also has layers of protection for American jobs and wages, including recruitment requirements, displacement prohibitions, and wage
floors.
