Let’s build a road and waystation throughout the mountains along the border. Let’s supply it. Let’s dispatdh units when 12 women are scaling the wall 88 miles away, 1k feet above sea level.
The same people who think this would be easy thought rooting out the taliban was gonna be a walk in the park.
Both are impossible.
I suppose it is theoretically possible to build the wall, but it’s practically impossible.
The only way I’d get behind a wall is if was:
- solar powered
- a conduit of sorts for electricity
- some kind of pipeline for oil or nuclear waste
I like stuffing it full of nuclear waste. Then it might actually work.
I don't like the government doing much, and I also don't want to see the wall built.
I like that non essential projects are getting the shaft.
I would say that it's saving the rest of us money, but we all know if they're not wasting it in once place they'll just waste it somewhere else.
I tried to tell you guys when he first started posting here that we had a real winner
Got a question for you, how is it possible to build a wall of this scope without help from the very same people you are building the wall to keep out?
Let that sink in.....
I promise that no one considers you a good source when it comes to picking winners.
It saves us nothing. In fact, it ends up costing more. The federal workers get back pay for work they didn’t do. It slows down productivity
How many federal workers actually do any meaningful work ever? Working for the feds is a jobs program for many (and this includes the military as well) where they collect a check but don’t actually do anything productive.
Why does that not surprise me. Always taking care of themselves.
I wish Trump trimmed all that fat for good. Maybe we can get someone in there who will.
You’d be surprised. Some of the smartest people I’ve ever met work for the Fed Gov. I’d say the amount of useless dipshits is commensurate to the amount of useless dipshits in the private sector. There’s a lot of dipshita everywhere.
There was no need to continue it. It was nothing but arguing from authority at that point, and I was tired. I wasn't going to change your style of debate, was I? I didn't think so.
I get why people feel the way they do. But you’d change your tune if you spent time up here. Just my opinion
I get what some of these guys are saying about the Great Wall of China; IIRC, relatively speaking there are almost NO Mexicans in China. It definitely works.
Both Iraq and Saudi Arabia are currently building walls. Why would anyone ever build a wall if they didn't work? How many politicians and celebrities do you think don't live in gated communities?
Crybaby CNN at it again.

The truth isn't convenient for some people. Best to just let it pass on by and think of puppy dogs and rainbows.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think anything that I've said about walls has been very controversial. Whether or not you believe they should be built, the fact is they're built for a reason. Obviously, I've been pretty open about the thinking that there are better ways to handle the immigration insanity, but that doesn't mean that walls won't work.
There are walls that work and walls that don't work. Any wall can be made to work to a point if you sink enough money into it.
The border wall is a stupid idea and we have shown it to be so in this thread. Find another topic to harp on.
Actually, you didn't, but that's okay. Also, you know it's more like a chain-link fence with razor wire and not a cement wall, right?
So basically a far cry from what he promised and he base swore he was gonna have México pay for?
Fencing won’t be effective.
I'm not sure his inability to get this done reflects poorly on him. He isn't a dictator. He needs the funding from the House. As for it not being effective, nothing he could do would change your mind about that. Walls work. They work in other parts of the world. It's ridiculous to think that they couldn't work in the US.
He didn’t have a republican house and senate for 2 years? He didn’t walk away from $25B last year?
It’s ridiculous you think the wall will work.
A wall wouldn't work nearly as well as snipers in guard towers every quarter mile. Would be much cheaper, and more effective. There would be no repeat customers, that's for sure.
This would be much more effective until the evening news shows a head shot on a 6 year old girl. Think it might lose a little support
Until I see a wall that doesn't work, I'll continue to believe that they do in fact work.
As for the Republicans in the House and Senate, I hate most of them as much as I hate their Dem counterparts. They're nothing but establishment DBs and I'm glad that a lot of them lost in the House. They needed to go.
