The border is nearly 2000 miles long. Half a mile covers only about 0.00025 of that. That was worth $22 million, huh?
Yes. The cost to American taxpayers for illegal immigrants is far greater.
A half mile of fence won't keep a single person from illegally crossing over. :eusa_doh vcd
Border agents said differently
Great, let's see you quote one saying that private fence kept out an illegal alien....
We just know it does. Within the last few days, a couple of people have died from falls trying to get over the unscalable 40' wall.
And furthermore.......
President Trump's use of
tariffs as a negotiating tool is in stark contrast to how Republicans have traditionally operated, according to
Brit Hume.
The move would be a "dramatic departure" from conservative orthodoxy if Trump follows through on his threat to impose tariffs on countries like China and Mexico, Hume said Tuesday on "
The Story."
MEXICO TO BEGIN RATIFICATION PROCESS FOR USMCA TRADE DEAL
"He really has made a kind of dramatic departure from what had been contemporary American conservative thought about trade," Hume claimed. "Tariffs were considered anathema and people look back to the tariffs that were imposed during the Great Depression and the damage they did and said, 'this is folly'."
Last week, Trump
threatened to institute a 5 percent tariff on Mexico until the illegal immigration surge at the southern border is "remedied."
Too bad, Demmies. President Trump loves American citizens, but he will accept some if they have something to give back. IOW, drug dealers, go home. Drug swindlers who kill 300 Americans per week, go home. People who want to replace American law with Sharia law, go home. People using coming over here to destroy any American job, any American citizen, to home; any rapist of women or children, go home, any killer out of prison dumped at the border, go home, any American hater bent on damaging America in the future, go home.
