Did I not say "...IF there's any truth in it AND it materializes..." ???
Oh... and BTW... I do not subscribe to the "end justifies the means" stance that you try (and fail) to attribute to me.
In our present political environment that is largely a MAGAtt tactic.
Besides... when it comes to ends justifying means...
People who live in glass January Sixth's should not throw stones...

That's just it.
When the state builds a secure border wall, it is ALWAYS to keep you from escaping.
WORD!!!
Nope... we come and go as we please... besides... other than brief vacation sorties in winter... who wants to go there anyway?
It's not like mainstream Americans, as a whole, have any interest in living in those $hithole countries...

The first border fences built along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb immigration from Mexico began in earnest under Democrats Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. After building fences for decades to stop animals, the federal government shifted its focus when people began migrating in significant numbers from south to north in the 1940s and 1950s.
Two years later, First Lady Pat Nixon established Friendship Park along the border near San Diego where people could celebrate cross-border culture. At the dedication ceremony, Nixon requested that her security detail cut strands of barbed wire there so that she could greet Mexicans across the borderline. “I hope there won’t be a fence too long here,” the Republican famously said. Nixon’s administration never built significant barriers.
The fences were part of what Clinton referred to as a “get tough policy at our borders.” He used steel surplus military landing mats, which the Army Corps of Engineers welded together, to build an allegedly impassable wall. In the middle of Friendship Park, the Immigration and Naturalization Service built three parallel fences. Multiple fences, they argued, would allow agents to catch fence-jumpers in between them. Clinton’s barriers to humans went up alongside NAFTA, which opened the border to material goods, once again making the border more of a sieve than a seal.
In 2006, Bush signed the Secure Fence Act, authorizing 700 miles of double-layered, reinforced fencing. When he left office, he had completed more than 500 miles. Barack Obama continued the work, building 130 more miles of fencing. He also famously funded the Border Patrol and deported more people than any president before him.
Although Donald Trump championed building his wall, his administration only built about 85 miles of new fences. Biden will now add 20 more.

Americans need a wall to keep themselves in.

Yes, that's just the sort of blinkered, philistine, pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage, you sit there on your loathsome, spotty behinds, squeezing blackheads.FAKE NEWS.
That's completely total BULLSHIT.
Another fake NARRATIVE.
You LIE.
GTFOH
/—-/ You know there is no truth to it like the other policies she copied from Trump. Was there any mention of building a border wall and removing taxes on tips and SS at the convention?Did I not say "...IF there's any truth in it AND it materializes..." ???

And, if she really really really means it, why isn’t she doing it now?
IOW, they did NOT negotiate with TRUMP! to build strategic sections of the wall when they could have, and now Kamala (what have I been doing for 4 years?) wants to build them. Pure politics at play there, superseding border security needs.

The only problem that the Far Left Biden-Harris regime had with the Wall was the fact that millions of little Trumpsters supported it. Same with everything else that Trump did.
That's why Biden made his#1 priority to roll back everything he could done by Trump, whether it was good or bad.

Oh stop with the lies, you goofball.
In December 2021, DHS said it would begin repair projects along the southern border such as closing barrier gaps, stabilizing eroding areas and cleaning work sites. At the time, DHS again asked Congress to reappropriate the 2019 funding. Social media claims in spring 2022 said Biden was resuming work on the border wall, but we rated those False because it was repair work, not construction.
Fact check: Did Biden flip-flop on stopping border wall construction?
As a 2020 presidential candidate, Joe Biden vowed that no more wall would be built along the U.S. southern border. Now, after failing to persuade Congress to reappropriate 2019 funds designated for wall construction, his administration said it will build additional border barriers before Sept...
