We only have to build the fence on the Southern border, and we can easily do that.
We all know that fences work. That's why you oppose them.
Oh, just stop it. We can't build the entire southern Mex/US border with a fence/wall. And a Fence/Wall by itself is worthless without the support it needs in electronics and boots on the ground neither which is available due to the Carny Side Show that Rump is doing.
Border Patrol has 20,000 people. More than enough to man the wall.
We can easily build a wall along the entire border.
That figure would be the total. Not the number that are on the border working as border patrol. That number is also made up of border patrol clean across the nation. It also includes the thousands currently working in the overloaded Detention Centers. And it includes the Administration people like stenos and ...... According to the Border Patrol, they have a dire shortage of Border Patrol that are patrolling the southern border.
Your buddy US Representative lied when he said that the number of Border Patrol has quadrupled since 2005. Actually, it's doubled.
Number of Border Patrol agents quadrupled since 2005?
The wall reduces the manpower required to control the border, dumbass.
Why, aren't you the sweet heart one now.
If that were the case (which it is) then the last roughly 270 miles of new wall construction would be of the todo list. But instead, Rump is doing his Side Show Carnie Acts and not getting the job done. Not one inch of new wall construction has been accomplished in the last 3 years. If you were to vote for someone that would "Build that Wall" you would be voting for someone other than Rump. Reduction on the number of available Border Patrol personnel in the areas without any border security at all is what has happened.
What that translates out to mean is that the bulk of the Border Patrol is being utilized in areas where the illegals aren't trying to sneak across the border. In fact, they get just feet inside the US and seek out Border Patrol so they can surrender to them to try and apply for Asylum. Meanwhile, in the unprotected areas, the drug mules and not so nice people are plying their trade. This emergency was created. And it was created by Rump's own campaign promises and the change in the policies of how people could apply for asylum. That change in Policy was directed towards Muslim Countries and Central American Countries just got caught in that web. Hence the creation of the "Caravans".
Yah, I know, your Orange Rump, Hannity and Rush all tell you that they were created by Obama but they weren't. Not in the thousands anyway. In the tens and hundreds, they did exist. And the US Immigration System was designed to handle that load and still have enough border patrol to effectively patrol the borders. And there was enough money to put a security Fencing in the high traffic areas. Was it perfect? No. But obviously it worked better than it does under the Rump dog and pony show. But in the last 3 years, the numbers of actual patrolling Border Patrols have gone down in the areas that need new border security construction. They are too busy playing Jailers and Nurse Maids to the thousands of Asylum Seekers that went feet dry.
The Immigration System is overloaded big time by a series of Dog and Pony acts and Carnie Side Shows. But those people are here now. And according to our laws in America, they do have certain rights. Yes, Shirley, even an Asylum Seeker awaiting legal disposition has rights in America. You remember America, don't you. I still do. Not only is there a shortage of actual people patrolling the border but there is a dire shortage of legal people including Judges and Lawyers to get the disposition of those people done on a timely and fair manner. There shouldn't be a catch and release program. There shouldn't be tent cities. There shouldn't be overcrowded facilities where people are sleeping on concrete floors. It should be a matter of Days to reach conclusion to whether they are granted asylum or are transported directly back to their countries of origin by "Immigration Air" or other methods. But not by dumping them back across the Mexican border so the entire cycle could start all over again.
You are caught up in the Dog and Pony show and the various Carnie Side Show Acts. Rump isn't doing his job. He's got you fixated on "Build the Wall" when he should be working on getting rid of the catch and release, months of incarceration, separation of children from families, and getting those people off the border in a safe and legal manner. And "Build the Wall" has little to do with it.
I think the reason that Rump's carnie side shows are quickly wearing off is that the main show had to get rid of the Elephants.
