Heya, Trix...been a while. Happy New Year.
I don't want to attempt to guess at the number of idiotic lemmings in America, but I would suggest that those who oppose spending billions on a wall probably have a good idea of the price of the ladder or shovel it would take to defeat it, and just say "no thanks". That seems like the smarter response to me...
Being against the wall isn't necessarily the same as being against border control. Whether or not that permeates partisan knee jerk dumbassery whenever Dear Leader is questioned remains to be seen, but I would suggest folks saying no to the wall so they can spend that money on something that will actually work are more serious about border control than those who are all hot and frothy for this thing, simply because they are Trump fanboys and groupies.
Trump has evolved since the days of wanting a concrete/brick wall or whatever, and has attempted to compromise with the obstructing Democrats.
Trump now says a border barrier made of steel slats would suffice. "They don't like concrete, so we'll give them steel," said Trump. He is offering concessions and of course, they are having nothing about it, because if they actually showed themselves to be fair and compromising,
they would also look weak going into 2020. The latter is really what this is about...
Enough now. The Dems. need to cough up the meager funds so we keep illegal migration down to a trickle in other places along the US/MX border. Btw, Schumer voted for what Trump is asking for now... Yeah, the point about idiotic lemmings, The Schumer puppets absolutely has proven that Americans have become partisan lemmings, and are getting more idiotic.
How in Sam's name does anyone go along with hypocrite, Chuck Schumer who said, (see below), and voted for the 2006 Secure Fence Act which appropriated more money than Trump's asking for the
erection of the fence?
Yeah, more Americans than ever are idiotic lemmings if they can't conclude that Schumer and the rest of the obstructing Dems. are withholding funds not because they do not think a border fence/barrier/enhancement is important but because they don't want Trump to get the win. The Dems. are showing themselves to be elected partisans before country types.
All you have to do, Nate, is to do a meager amount of research to see that the responsibility for keeping the gov.
closed still shut remains with them.
How can anyone not see that this is about them employing dirty POLITICS as usual? Are they purposely being obtuse or are they simply "idiotic lemmings"?
“When we use phrases like 'undocumented workers,' we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. If you don't think it's illegal, you are not going to say it. I think it is illegal and wrong, and we have to change it.”
- SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER - He voted for a fence!!! An expensive, big bold beautiful fence!!! Irony.
Let's get it done. Barriers are necessary and have proven to work... see quote below.
In four Customs and Border Protection sectors where physical barriers have been expanded -- El Paso, Yuma, Tucson, and San Diego -- illegal traffic has dropped by at least 90%.
