I love the Big Bend area. Planning to go in October. It's a national park, for crying out loud. And the roads in and out of there are already crawling with border patrol.
Build the wall everywhere else, and beef up the cyber barriers, border cameras and personnel where needed in Big Bend. Just leave it the frick alone.

CPB halts construction of border wall through Big Bend.

Thank God.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott said he would halt construction activity in Big Bend National Park as efforts to erect a border barrier have met bipartisan pushback.
In a video posted to social media on Monday, Scott said, “Last night I put a pause on all activity in that park as far as construction goes until I can get down there and do a personal evaluation.”
Sweden is now the most capitalist, anti-immigration country in Europe.

As Fareed points out in an excellent talk, starting in the 90’s (when they elected a conservative PM), Sweden went from being the most liberal economy with the most generous cradle-to-grave social benefits to doing an absolute 180 and becoming a country built on free enterprise. Why? Because socialism rendered the country broke. Sweden still has universal health care and a huge pension system, but these things only account for 37% of their total spending. Barely above the USA’s.

re: Cremation or Burial?

Many cemeteries are now setting aside areas for a columbarium. Sort of a mini-mausoleum. I think that is probably what my wife and I are leaning towards. It still gives folks a place to visit but doesn’t require a burial or a big box in the wall.
I think you people vastly underestimate her and her target voters.
Here is a good breakdown of what we know so far.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) now-infamous “Smart Wall Map” has been updated numerous times in the past two months.
After a few weeks of constant updates in early March, flipping back and forth between “detection technology” and a “planned” wall in Big Bend National Park, it’s been relatively quiet on the map front in the past month.
Today, however, there’s another huge update: a physical border barrier—a “vehicle barrier system”—appears to still be part of CBP’s plans.
I just checked the Big Bend Sector part of the map a half hour ago and it’s never looked this erratic.
quote:
According to the current map, vehicle barriers are “Planned” in four places inside the national park, which would seal off access to the Rio Grande:
In the park’s westernmost corner, through the town of Lajitas, which is the most popular put-in for river trips in Santa Elena Canyon
Running eastward from Talley Road and Campsites
Running southward from Solis Campsites to Mariscal Canyon
In the park’s easternmost corner, roughly between Hubert Ridge and the park’s boundary
Another noteworthy update is that where it once said “Detection Technology,” it now says “Technology & Patrol Road.” CBP has still not specified what that technology would include. Watchtowers? Stadium lighting? Cameras? Other kinds of surveillance? None of that has been explained, specified, or excluded by the Trump administration.
While no one knows if they’re planning on constructing any new patrol roads, it’s beyond obvious that they will, in fact, need roads, materials, and heavy equipment to actually build those sections of border barrier in the national park.
Additionally, the updated map now also shows physical vehicle barriers along all of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River and through Amistad National Recreation Area. The adjacent Big Bend Ranch State Park continues to be threatened as well.

I know a guy who works for a contractor who was just told he was being transferred to West Texas to work on said wall.
As a lover of Big Bend, I am very sad that this is happening.

You are right. The rhetoric that comes w him is pathetic. He’s the most insecure intelligent individual of his time. It’s tiresome and sad to see him act that way.
Of course, articulating this view makes me a soy boy, or low T, or prog filth (lol), or any other thing that I’ve been called in this thread. Truth is I voted for Trump 3 times. I will vote for whomever the nominee is in 2028. Personally, I hope it’s Marco.
My first vote ever was for Ronald Reagan in 1984. I long for the opportunity to vote for a man like that again, but it will never happen.
I think a lot of Republicans have just grown tired of Trump’s crap.

I am in that camp probably. All the self-adulation was funny in the beginning, but now it has grown stale. Putting gold accents all over the Oval Office? WTF is that about. Wanting to build monuments to himself in Washington? Really?
Closing the border was his greatest accomplishment. Iran was a mistake. Tariffs are horrible for the economy.
2028 will be interesting. The Republican Party has a massive opportunity in front of it with the rise of the DSA. The right candidate can sell basic American conservative principles — freedom, capitalism, and limited government — to the vast squishy middle who wants nothing to do with socialism. MAGA is no longer the answer.
Fire away. I’m right.
