cbfalcon 824 Posted January 24, 2019 I'd love an honest discussion about why a Wall isn't needed or doesn't work or isn't needed in certain places yada yada. I'm all ears. Personally I can see where Walls may not be needed. Where simply more and other means of enforcement may be better suited to help curb illegal immigration. The amount, 5.7 Billion isn't the issue. At least it shouldn't be, that is barely more than Obama added to immigration in the 2016 Budget. But we all know the real reason here. Trump wants it. Nothing else matters. I gave some thoughts in another thread and it was ignored. Nobody wants the discussion. That said, Baker or whoever is asking the benefit of something not existing is obviously silly. Whats the benefit of my not having an umbrella? The answer is the same I guess. Instead, people need to explain the actual benefits of the item they think we need to spend $25B on over the next 5 years. Most of the ones given related to drugs and terorrists have been proven completely incorrect by the government. But as many have said, its not even about the wall. Its not even about immigration. Its about Trump or the Democrats being assigned a win or a loss. Thats the only game now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I can see where Walls may not be needed. Where simply more and other means of enforcement may be better suited to help curb illegal immigration. it's hard to have an honest discussion when Trump hasn't been honest about any of his reasons. Even his own border patrol has shut him down repeatedly on his claims. There was the 4,000 terrorist bullshittin. Then there was the idea that massive amounts of drugs are being smuggled in through areas that aren't actually official ports of entry. Then there was the trope about Mexicans stealing our jobs. Yet unemployment is at a record low and for the government's own records, our birth rate isn't enough to sustain our GDP. Then of course then of course, is the whole Mexico is going to pay for it bullshiit. even tonight, the border patrol was taking members of the press through an active smuggling tunnel that would have gone right underneath the wall. One of dozens or hundreds. Then of course, the cost. Won't cost anywhere near five billion dollars. At best? Five times that. Other estimates? As much as 15 times that. but no one's talking about that. Much like they're not talking about the hundreds if not thousands of legal claims against eminent domain that will clog up our courts until everyone on this board is six feet under. So yeah, it'd be great to have an honest conversation. so far, there hasn't been one thing the president has said with regard to the wall it hasn't been disproven by his own government agencies. The same people who stand to get a multibillion-dollar raise in their budget. Not some partisan Democratic hack. I'll listen to the guy's spouting truth even when it cost them billions of dollars in their budget. They seem to be the most trustworthy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vince44 202 Posted January 24, 2019 We been over this: The House wont give Trump the Wall because Trumps Wall is a political stunt. He gambled on a campaign stunt and lost bigly. Take the L and move on Donald.Well said. Nancy has won. Trump lost. She got him to take full responsibility for the shutdown in December. She has gotten the better of him in the war of words all January long. She is pulling the plug on his state of the union address. The time has come for him to accept this one sided defeat and move on to more important issues like opening the damn government. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This time just ten Democrats joined us: clerk.house.gov/evs/2019/roll0 Actions speak louder than words. They voted to fund the $5.7B for the wall and re-open government. Did you really think that would fly? The Dems are going to try to get no funding for the wall and government open until February 8th. Both are pathetic disguises of compromise and both should fail miserably. Congress is inept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
