CNN’s Jim Acosta doubles down on how safe border is before Trump fires back
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cnns-jim-acosta-doubles-down-on-how-safe-border-is-before-trump-fires-back
CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta on Thursday reiterated how safe it is in McAllen, Texas, after he faced mockery on social media for inadvertently making the case for President Donald Trump’s border wall.
Eventually, Trump himself weighed in.
The brouhaha began when Acosta took to Twitter showing video of himself walking alongside a steel barrier and saying how the area was “pretty tranquil.”
Big thanks to the big dummy, Acosta for confirming that a wall works very well!

So the fence we have (yes, that was a fence) is already working. Guess we don't need a wall then.
Also, Acosta makes the point that if the area is "tranquil" (a premise you accept), then there is no crisis.

A San Diego television station on Thursday said that CNN had asked for a "local view" and then "declined to hear from us" after past reports from the station showed that a border wall was effective.
"We believe CNN declined a report from KUSI because we informed them that most Border Patrol Agents we have spoken to told us the barrier does in fact work," it concludes. "We have continuously been told by Border Patrol Agents that the barrier along the Southern border helps prevent illegal entries, drugs, and weapons from entering the United States, and the numbers prove it."
Since the 2,000 mile-long border is by no means homogenous, I would ask if the areas in which there are no barriers are similarly tranquil.
If you watch the actual video, FOX News is making up a bunch of nonsense, I suppose to deflect from Trump, Huckabee, and Nielsen's deceit about the 30,000-40,000 supposedly caught at the southern border.

Apparently things are calm where there are barriers. Shocked.
That would be a different question. Fox News makes the claim that Acosta's particular example makes the case for a wall, when in fact it quite obviously does the opposite.

Now move to a portion without that type of border and labeled a hot area by the BP and compare.
Which areas without fencing supports that conclusion?
Notice how completely Republicans have lost the public debate on a "wall" and are now retreating to a "barrier," and are even resorting to places where existing fences work to make their case. They've admitted that a wall isn't necessary and don't even know it.
What a colossal dumbass! He probably doesn't even realize that he just made a real time argument FOR a barrier. LOL!
Do you have the actual numbers to say it’s deceit?

I notice!
No...There are provisions in the existing Secure Fence act that specifically what materials can be used to build barriers on our southern borders...My guess it was a preemptive poison provision in that law, put in there by democrats that want as much illegal immigration as possible to "fundamentally transform" this country, and replace American citizens.
fence, wall, barrier are synonymous with "the wall" and provide the same deterrent. Yesterday there was a thread with the steel slat wall, which is the same style Acosta visited.
Such as where?
I really wish someone would give Trump his $6 billion or whatever it is for his wall/barrier/whatever we call it these days so he can shut up and we can get on to more important things. Watching his fan base tinkle in their panties every day because some skeery Honduran is going to steal their blueberry picking jobs is just annoying.
The plans of "the wall" being a concrete wall, 2,000 miles long have long since been changed...You know that...
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media. Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides). Makes sense to me!

Long since? I am only hearing about this concession for steel barriers in the past week. Perhaps you can share when a long time ago it changed?
Is 11 days really that "long"? :lol:
