    Are you funding the Border wall or ladders? THREAD CLOSED BY CK1942

    Lol

    Why are we raising taxes? When we can get volunteers to donate their money. Hell we could get most of our roads replaced. There just has to be some controversy to make people open up their wallets.

    So what happens to the money if it doesn’t get used for it’s intended purpose? Is this another case of the homeless man gas can scam?

    My dollars go to my own border wall. Have to keep the wee woofs at the Irish Chihuahua Refuge behind the fence or they would create havoc in the streets! Look what happened when they crossed over last time:



    Sent me the bill for all that bling. Sheesh.

    Someone pass that to Austin Ellen.

    Ima still waiting for Mexico to pay for it since that was promised. I know he can't be a liar.
    Will always PM from this or the other site as initial contact.

    Maybe the guy can move to New Mexico and he can write the check from a bank there.

    Boarder security is important and the go fund me page should be an indicator to Congress that it is important to the forgotten people.

    Mexico was never intended to pay for the wall outright...like them saying here US we will give you $25 million back of the billions you are currently giving us already, so you can build the needed wall. But instead with the renegotiations of NAFTA and a much better deal created for all including the US, the billions saved there is what was going to build the wall. Another misconception about Mexico building the wall is it would actually be Hispanic workers building the wall...can’t believe people actually believed that, although there is a good chance a very diverse work group will be working on building the wall.

    All politicians are liars...some just outright lie a lot more than others. I never got to keep my doctor. Some may have intended and tried to keep their promises but just could not make it past the system and were/are being forced to do what the select few want. And it is scary that many are above the law as well.

    Just a bone to chew on.

    Goofy you made some great points- the biggest being that all politicians lie and some have good intent but there good intentions can be derailed by congress. In terms of the wall to keeping out immigrants and illegal substances IMHO it will not work. In the latter, the Cartels have very unique ways of getting their products across the border- they have used boats, jets, and have even built undergorung tunnels -so it's not going to stop the problem.

    it's not just Mexicans anymore..

    shame on the Republican Party for backing this guy, defending him the past 2 years.. funny how it started out with many Republicans very worried about Trump, then quickly coalesced into massive, unwavering support.. they got hammered in the election last month, because every group of people, outside the "over-40 Caucasian male" feels Trump directly attacks them at every turn.

    I would fund bridges if my pockets were deep enough.

    Who am I kidding? If I had deep pockets I would blow it all on sex.

    Can someone tell me what Wall (barrier) in history ever worked?

    I can only think The Great Wall of China. When you see who ordered it, over saw the construction and used it, I don't think you'd like the cost of that one. Otherwise, every other one I can think of failed or was an extreme waste.

    This from Wikipedia...

    Although a useful deterrent against raids, at several points throughout its history the Great Wall failed to stop enemies, including in 1644 when the Manchu Qing marched through the gates of Shanhai Pass and replaced the most ardent of the wall-building dynasties, the Ming, as rulers of China.

    LLIA, thanks for a supporting link.
    GFEJ, if it was built with the intent of only stopping suicide bombers, than it is a success.
    But what about all the tunnels I hear about? Constantly finding them and it is unknown what has passed underneath.
    So, would that be called successful?

    Others I can think off the top of my head are Hadrian, a person can leap over it.
    Marginot line, bypassed.
    Siegried line, filling bulldozed on top of and crossed.
    Berlin, now in museums across the world.

    A few of those barriers, see how history has treated those people (Hitler, Honecker.)

    It's called maintenance. Kinda like I do here. It's a constant vigil.

    Israel’s West Bank wall is 440 miles long. How many thousands of miles must our wall be?

    And there are heavily armed Israeli soldiers on BOTH sides of that wall.

    Lastly, the claim that their wall is responsible for the decline in suicide bombings is false - fake news . Check out this chart.
