    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.

    How does the wall stop Airplanes ?
    Student never leaves
    Tourist never leaves.
    What’s the stats on illegals that over stayed compared to snuck in ?

    Will we also build a wall in the Canadian border ?

    Will smugglers start using ocean entry?

    What about tunnels.?

    Just how much is the true cost of this wall ?
    And
    What is the expectations on illegal decline ?

    Well, that proves my point: it is a waste. Pay for it and have to pay even more to outsource to others. But than again, they probably stick it to the U.S. of A. as Defense budget stuff.

    Thanks again for the link. Barriers like these of late are not remembered fondly.

    I don't think the same response will be given here.
    Will always PM from this or the other site as initial contact.

    No, I’m not contributing, but I think it’s a great idea. Let the deplorables waste their money on the idea a useless boondoggle. It’s all a fraud anyway. Funds donated to the Federal government can’t be earmarked for a specific purpose, but go into general revenue, in any event.

    But that’s less money in the hands of bad guys to support Republican office seekers.

    in my thought processes, the concern is that trump is focusing on ONE solution to the bigger problem of immigration and security.
    instead of saying "let's work to control who comes in to our country", he seems to be thinking that a wall will solve the immigration problem. remember he used to say (paraphrased) "our country is so messed up. only i can fix it!"

    that's what we get when we toss critical thinking aside and focus on quick unexamined solutions.


    but he is kinda smart. it's just not clear to me what his end game is. sink the stock market cos he shorted it? create major chaos so that he can declare martial law? screw up the country so bad he asks russia and china to "save" us. i dont know what his end game is.
    it's always afternoon!!

    have fun out there.

    dont let the negatives get you down.

    that's what his rabid base insisted Obama would do.. create chaos and declare martial law, so Trump would not take his place as President. absolute poppycock. Trump has lied continuously since day one, and his false Inauguration numbers.. his end game is publicity, I think.

    So if they raise the $5Bn, how does it go to the project?

    The gofundme page is a stunt.

    Better chance at redemption by pledging it to a TV preacher. Errr, a different TV preacher.
