What happened to your information that POTUS was going to the Pentagon the other day to declare an emergency for the wall? He ended up dressing down the dem tactics.

Are you getting your govt check?

Ain't nobody care about this myth BS no matter how much of a gotcha you think it is.

From Rolling Stone. I'm sure they are objective. How many retractions have they had to make last year because they never verified any information given to them? Why should i believe them?


What objectivity exists with an on the record interview of a congressman?

When someone, elected or pundit or otherwise, can point me to any evidence or argument that building a wall will affirmatively increase the amount of people coming to the US illegally, I would be willing to change my position on the necessity of the wall. I DGAF if that person is a Republican, Democrat or communist. I want some indication that building the wall makes matters worse because it increases the number of illegals getting in here.

A wall will not stop 100 percent of illegal immigration, drug dealing or human trafficking, but I just cannot see how on earth a wall will not decrease illegal immigration, drug dealing or human trafficking.

I’m all ears and happy to entertain any points to the contrary but 1) the wall is meanie pants; 2) walls don’t work; 3) and I’m scared that siding with Donald Trump on this issue will get me unelected are not in anyway supported by evidence or logic.

Hurd added the fiber-optic cable would serve multiple purposes: It would help Border Patrol monitor the perimeter and pick up digging attempts, but also provide high-speed internet to rural areas without access.
"I would love to lay a fiber-optic cable from sea to shining sea," he said. "There are sensing tools that can be used off of fiber-optic cable, and then guess what: Some of the rural communities along the border that don't have access to really high-speed internet would be able to tap into [it]."



I'm willing to bet if I dig into Rep. Hurd's donor list, I find some heavy ties to the telecom industry.

I'm going to assume that's referring to a field agent rather than just an analyst.

Well, the class of 99 sure was a waste at A&M. Guess I'm not surprised.

The argument is not over A way to curtail illegal immigration, it is about the best and most cost effective way.

I don't agree that all walls are immoral and that they don't work in certain circumstances.

Liberals are punishing their voters for illegals who haven't even begun to think of leaving for the US.

Kudos.

And that is a fact and not subjective. Democrats are keeping the government shut down for illegals. They certainly didn't worry about money when Obama doubled the national deficit in 8 years.

Oh and California spends more on illegals in one year than Trump is asking for but go ahead and keep stamping your foot like a petulant 3 year old girl.

This is not investigative reporting or editorial analysis. It is an intervirw with a Congressman. Does The publication really matter ?

I really don't care what he said other than if he doesn't think illegal immigration is a problem than he should be voted out next election.

Move to the next gotcha moment you think is worth a damn because this isn't it.

If 50 Republicans said the same thing, I would want every single one of them voted out.

Amazing how in 2013 liberals thought illegal immigration was a serious problem but now, nope.

Anyone that says “third century solution” is a fricking moron. Why should anyone take anything else that person said seriously?

How about you only accept third century solutions for your healthcare and see how that works for you?
