Biden spending $50 million per year to store border wall material ready to install.

[Nostra]

That's not trolling. It's a reasonable question, albeit with an fairly obvious answer.

He stopped it because his voters don't want a wall all across the border, it won't be effective, and there are better ways to manage illegal immigration.

Border walls have been proven to be effective

 

[Nostra]

He’s the biggest business failure in American history. No one has lost as much money as Donald Trump.

Seven large corporate bankruptcies is a record, and not in a good way.

Anything on topic, Troll?

 

[struth]

Yeah. Trump humpers are definitely dragging us down. It's a shame.

haha trump isn’t leading the country in the wrong direction…xiden’s the president

 

[struth]

Because we have so many Trump humpers that support him. Sedition is definitely taking the country in the wrong direction. Voting for a sexual abuser is definitely going in the wrong direction. Stealing documents doesn't help either.

Nothing President Joe Biden can do about that shit.

haha 71 percent of the country are not trump supporters

Has there ever been a dumber decision than Biden's decision to stop the border wall?

DOD spends nearly $50 million a year 'to do nothing' with Trump's border wall materials, drawing GOP backlash

An estimated $50 million has been spent by the federal government to store and maintain unused border wall panels at the southern border, and Senate Republicans are calling for answers.

EFFECTIVE – DISRUPTING CRIMINALS AND SMUGGLERS​

The results speak for themselves: illegal drug, border crossings, and human smuggling activities have decreased in areas where barriers are deployed. For example:

San Diego Sector:

• In one short 12 mile section in the San Diego Sector, the wall reduced CBP manpower requirements by 150 agents every 24 hours. That is approximately a $28 million return on investment per year in salaries and benefits. These agents were redeployed to fill resource gaps in other areas of the border -- further improving our security.
• CBP’s San Diego Field Office continues to be a significant source of narcotics seizures. From FY 19 to FY 20, seizures of fentanyl, marijuana, and methamphetamine all increased, with meth seizures jumping at alarming rates in the past several years – demonstrating that the border wall is forcing drug smugglers to where we are best prepared to catch them – our ports of entry.

Yuma Sector:

• Illegal entries in areas with new border wall system plummeted over 87% in FY 20 compared to FY 19.
• In FY 19, CBP deployed a temporary barrier, which it has replaced with a permanent system, at the Sanchez Canal, which resulted in illegal entries decreasing in this area by more than 1,000 per month.
• In FY 19, in areas of older existing border fencing or barriers, Yuma Sector apprehended 12 large groups (over a 100 persons) compared to zero large groups in FY 20 with new border wall system.
  • Family Unit entries have decreased over 95%
    • FY 19: 51,961 vs. FY 20: 2,940

RGV Sector:

• In a section of RGV (Zone 1) apprehensions have decreased since the construction of the border wall system. This is a location that has never had any border infrastructure.
  • CBP has seen 79% decrease in apprehensions in this area (Zone 1) since the completion of border wall system.
  • CBP has seen a 26% decrease in narcotics seizures since the completion of border wall system in this area.
• In another section of RGV, prior to construction of the border wall system it was common to see illegal aliens running across a heavily traveled road, putting themselves and members of the community at risk.
  • Smugglers are now forced to take their groups further west into areas that are less dense with brush and easier for CBP surveillance cameras to detect illicit activity.

El Paso Sector:

• El Paso Sector has experienced a significant reduction in drug and smuggling activities in areas where the new border wall system was built.
  • Most notably, in Zones 14 and 15 of the Santa Teresa (STN) AOR where apprehensions have decreased by 60% and 81% respectively when comparing the last half of fiscal year FY 20 to the first half of FY 20.
• El Paso Station has experienced similar results from the new border wall in Zones 20 – 23, with a reduction in apprehensions of 70% during the same timeframe

Effective physical infrastructure works to secure our Southwest Border. Since the U.S. Border Patrol began constructing border barriers nearly 30 years ago, these barriers have proved to be a critical component in gaining operational control of the border.

Have you been living in a cave? But, since you need help.

"Walls along four Customs and Border Protection sectors—El Paso; San Diego, California; and Tucson and Yuma, Arizona—have reduced illegal immigration “by at least 90 percent,” according to the Republican National Committee’s Borderfacts.com page."

"Byron York of the Washington Examiner recently cited figures from the Center for Immigration Studies showing that before construction of border barriers in Yuma, the Border Patrol apprehended 138,438 illegal immigrants in 2005, compared with 26,244 last year. While not 90 percent, that’s still a dramatic drop."

"The comparable before-and-after figures for the San Diego sector, according to the Border Patrol, were more than 565,581 in 1992 and 26,086 in 2017—a 95 percent reduction."

So the articles state that in places with strategically placed border walls, illegal immigration drops in those areas.

Good to see. That why me and even most Democrats have historically supported walls placed in strategically placed areas.

Now back to how effective building a wall across our entire border would be. Probably not very effective and certainly much more expensive then the alternatives.

Trump isn’t leading rhe country he’s out of office

He leads the Republican party by the shorthairs. His lies ultimately lead to sedition, he stole documents, he attacks all our institutions. Trump and his Trump humpers are dragging this country down.

Biden can't stop it. He can't control Trump.

It’s the opinion of 71 percent of the country that we are currently being lead in the wrong direction…xiden’s the leader

If they didn't say why, your poll is as useless as tits on a boar hog. (As my grandpa used to say).

[bripat9643]

Nah, not at all.

If we didn't pay for the wall, we've lost nothing by not building it.

So the jokes on Mexico.

We lost hundreds of billions by not building it, you braindead traitor.

Sure it is. You will probably laugh at your cultist gullibility when you finally advance a stage or two.

GOP is running the country to the ground. The house has done nothing except lose whistleblowers, make innuendos and protect the guy who caused it all. They haven't even delivered their anti inflation bill yet.

The country is fed up with Republicans.
