yes it is, and you know the numbers were worse there before Biden’s Autopen started waving all in and handing out of temporary protections and socials at multiple other places along the border. Pretty sure this was pointed out to you in your last thread on this topic when you tried to claim those Biden’s Autopen created reductions proved wall was unnecessary as it was under control.

Why do Dems seek to destroy what remains of the ideals our country was founded on? Specifically for this topic why do Dems not support our national sovereignty, and why do they support sedition against the constitutionally granted powers of the federal govt and the enforcement of laws enacted by congress to remove illegals from our country?

Again I want something very effective and very Dem proof? Get your ilk in line, and I will quit sending notes of support to do whatever is necessary to secure our borders.

I’m sorry I missed the part where the wall was going to cover every inch of big bend?

There is already technology being used to monitor the border. You don't need to put some shitty wall up that destroys the landscape and habitat.

Ban people leaving food and water along the way and people will stop trying to cross the desert in the Big Bend area. That will be more effective and cheaper solution.

I like news stories like this. Somebody is actually listening and making a rational decision.

Until that number is zero.


Or you might prefer “cero”


Then the answer is yes we do.




We need to care for the people in our borders.



People will get out of poverty and the poor will prosper without people taking advantage of illegal aliens for cheap labor

You’ve been crying about a relatively minuscule wall through a desert.

if Trump got border crossings down 90% by enforcing existing laws, and only in a few months why do we need to spend billions on wall ? These statistics are before even passing the increased DHS funding bill.

his 1st term




2nd term

The wall works and is necessary in some places. In other places, there is no need for a wall. Despite all the partisan histrionics, I think most people realized this.

A wall in Big Bend was just as dumb as selling our public lands. Whole bunch of idiots we have in Washington coming up with these ideas.

As I have already stated Dems cannot be trusted. Biden’s Autopen reversed everything Trump set up during his first term including policies and deals with other countries to limit illegals passing over multiple countries to then only claim asylum at our border. True asylum cases would not do this. Biden’s Autopen allowed it to happen again and even had an unprecedented program to fly in these people. Remember all those “asylum” seekers getting special treatment to pass quickly thru airports.

If a Dem wins in 2028 they will reverse every policy Trump has used to lower illegals entry including the ones that stop them before entering to avoid being stuck with a ton of fraudulent asylum cases. They will also reduce patrols or allocate them elsewhere. Next Dem will redo Biden’s Autopen of waving them all in and giving them social and temporary protections and likely be worse about it to make up for Trump.

A wall will just slow them some but will also limit the illegals or drug mules who will not attempt to use a checkpoint, and that is better than what the Dems will want to do. If the dems start to tear them down a state like Texas can hopefully file a lawsuit to stop it.

What 2nd Trump really proved was how incompetent and full of shite Biden’s Autopen was about needing Dem border reforms to stop the massive influx of illegals. The mass importation of future voters was all on purpose and planned and allowed by Biden’s Autopen. That’s who they are. Whatever can slow them down in the future I am in favor of.

Also where did the below come from because it is either full of shite or is playing semantics with the crossings


I am guessing it was the New York Times from back in 2019 - nyt.com/images/2019/01/11/us/trump-border-crisis-reality-promo-

Definitely playing semantics. The caravans and amount of illegals requiring Obama to cage the kids all started under Obama.

Nope. Dem proof improvements to border security are required.

This is not a Dem issue.... unless you meant to say your Dim for even considering it.

You want to stop illegals put the people hiring them in jail.... rich or poor...your sorry arse goes to jail.

No wall would be needed.

Tbh if a Mexican can survive the trek through that desert they deserve citizenship. I've been to Terlingua in November and it was still 99 during the day.

Awe did you get your little bitty Dem feelings hurt??? Most everything the Dems are doing to fight the deportations of the parents of your future voters is sedition. You and your ilk want open borders in opposition to the laws and to harm the national sovereignty of our country. You supported an invasion, and you now support keeping them here. You may or may not love our country, but your goals will destroy it.

You must be Dim for not even knowing this…

why not all of the above? I can get behind this, building a wall, and throwing out every dam illegal in our country.

A border wall with Mexico will always be required.

Not a Dem and too smart to be a Republican,

And it's dumb if you don't realize the cheap fix is to dry up their money supply.

And if you think this county can neatly be divided Republican and Democrat then the powers that be have already snipped your manhood and they're firmly in their grip. Because that's the old divide and conquer game.

And you sound like a parrot or myna bird.

Awe you rely on ad hominem attacks and name calling, so who has had their manhood snipped???

You are wrong as usual and sound like your feelings were hurt again. It’s ok to be wrong as long as you learn from it, and don’t skip your t-shot again…

To eliminate options in the initial phase of the project would be stupid. What low level flunky would you expect to make that decision early on?
