Do We All Understand That Democrats Invited The Caravan?

Your lack of context is always on display. You're going to compare a 143 mile fence along open terrain the same as an almost 2,000 mile wall that has sections that are through rough terrain?

Your link didn't work, but I'm adding it here for those interested in the full story that puts everything in context and corrects your assumptions. Just to be clear, the 143 mile fence is the one along the Israeli/Egyptian border. There are others along different parts of the border. The article points out what I've been mentioning in my previous post.

Wall along Israeli border
 
inane statement since both parties control govt. Trump would end illegal immigration if Democrats did not resist. Do you understand?

You're the one who does not understand. Yes, both parties control the government, and so both parties are to blame for not having ended illegal immigration decades ago. Trump can not end it all by himself. Trump is the president, not the dictator. Do you understand the difference?
 
you said it won't work but clean forgot to tell us why? I wonder why???

40% of illegals came by plane.
Tunnels under the border are already common.
A million people cross the border legally every day.
Millions of dollars of trade goods cross the border legally every day.
The border can not be sealed up without disrupting the economies of both the US and Mexico.


Now, do you understand?
 
I guess you missed the point that it won't. Folks will easily find unguarded sections of the wall .

Israel stopped 100% of suicide bombers with its wall. But still you say a wall won't work? See why we think of liberals as very very slow?
 
did someone tell the liberal the wall would be high enough to stop planes????? OMG!!

so? Wall is above ground mostly so does not prevent tunnels. Did someone tell you it did. Did you believe them?

Thank you for supporting my position. The wall is not going to stop airplanes, nor will it stop tunnels.

But, I thought you were pro wall. What happened?

You keep dodging the point I made about making a false comparison between the Israel border walls and one that would go along the southern border. If you read the article you linked, they wall is effective because the Israelis can properly guard the wall with soldiers since it's only 143 miles long. The border between the US and Mexico is more than 10 times that length, and nothing has been discussed regarding personnel guarding the wall. So yes, the wall won't be as effective if it isn't properly staffed and even so there's the possibility of tunnels being dug to get under it on the Mexico side. So you can call me "slow", but it's clear you lack reading comprehension and debating skills because you haven't addressed that point at all.

Israel has 440 miles of wall to police, we would have 4 times that much but with 40 times the population and twice the per capita income. Plus, 90% of our wall is away from population areas making it extremely easy to police. Keep trying!!

tunnels have not been a big problem for Israel and Mexicans don't despise us the way Palestinians despise Israelis. 1+1=2

Two entirely different motives, and a for-profit motive is a better one than just hate. There's no money to make in terrorism; it's actually an expense with no financial return. Smuggling people across the border is a very lucrative business, and since you're a free market capitalist, this shouldn't be hard to understand. 2+2=4

We can have 100 times the population, but it's a matter of cost and what that amounts to in comparison to other measures which are more cost effective.

dear, you were comparing Israel's ability to police their wall and with our ability to police ours imagining that it would be harder for us despite a per capita shorter wall, 40 times the population, and twice the money per capita. When you learned your mistake you tried to change the subject as if no one would notice your embarrassment. Sad!

Obviously, if Trump had been allowed to build his wall they would not waste their time and money marching to a certain dead end, America's wall! It is Hilary's and the Democrat's dream of open borders that constitutes an open invitation to all the world's poor to come here and to vote here as Democrats .

*And why are there so many poor: because of Democrats of course! It should be simple to say, look folks it's not that complicated to be like us, you need Republican capitalism, Republican religion, Republican family values, and Republican law and order values. But , Democrats blunt that message with their socialist nonsense; so much of the world remains tragically poor.*

Little do the world's poor know that if they do get here they will* be breathing only the fumes of our genius Founders whose amazing legacy is being daily diluted away as our country drifts always further into suicidal* Democratic territory.*

There is NO ****ING WAY IN HELL that a wall would be built by now if Mexico had ponies up the day trump was inaugurated.

Therefore, there was no reason to read any more nonsense.
 
you call that a position? Does someone take the position that a wall will be high enough to stop planes?

Someone took the position that, if 40% of the illegals came by plane, then the wall will have no effect at all on that 40%.

That person was me.

Someone also took the position that Mexican tunnel makers have already been busy on the border, and the wall isn't going to stop tunnels. That person was me as well.

which is correct. Therefore, as I said, the wall will not prevent tunnels. No, no one told me that it did, other than you when you claimed that the wall would be an effective barrier to illegal immigration.

and no, I didn't believe you.

No, I'm actually brining it back to the pertinent point since there has been no publicized information on how the wall will be guarded so you have no idea how much that along with the wall maintenance is going to cost. You keep avoiding discussing these very practical points. Even Sadder!

figure 20% the cost of current wall. And????????????
 
liberal lost so substance free is again his game??

Nope, I've given you plenty of substance that you choose to ignore and come back with flimsy comebacks that don't address the issues I pointed out. You're basically saying you have no idea how much the additional costs will be and that it doesn't matter.
