    Uhm…..no he didn't. That part about hiring more border security. Put that into the reality with the issue.

    Hmmm that is not what these experts are saying.


    Border security experts: The wall isn't enough, legal loopholes must be closed....snip~


    Every one of the two dozen Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement workers that spoke with the Washington Examiner this week agreed with DHS leadership that the wall was a critical physical step to improving national security.....snip~


    "The billions of dollars we spend on law enforcement means nothing because you chose to have a U.S. citizen child while you knew you were in the country illegally. If that’s the message that you want to continue to send ... you are never going to fix the southwest border," said acting ICE Director Thomas Homan.

    "Sanctuary cities, end them. Detainers, legislate them. TVPRA, change it. Asylum, raise the bar. We have the knowledge to fix it, but you know what we need is the willpower of Congress," he added. "I've been doing this 34 years; we’re talking about the same thing every year."....snip~

    Ok, ignoring for now what Trump said or didn’t say or how it might be interpreted, it seems we agree that the concept of “Wall” is one element of a set of important elements of border security, right? I think the next step is to discuss the idea that the concept “Wall” could be a physical barrier, a technical barrier (detection and apprehension technology and personnel) or some mix thereof. I’d also point out that an unguarded physical wall by itself, without accompanying human patrols or technical detection would prove not to be very effective to various forms of penetration. That means, some form of technology and some amount of patrol personnel would be needed with any form of wall that we come up with from barb wire to a 10’ x 30’ concrete wall with spikes on top. So my question remains, what do you think would be the most cost effective form of border wall? Should we consider the effect on the economy of using various amounts of concrete versus technology and personnel barriers? I think we could also agree there is no reason to spend $25B if we can achieve the same low penetration rate by only spending $5B, right?

    The stupid Leftist media and their little drones ran around after that meeting thinking they had achieved something. "OMG! Trump is taking credit for a *GASP* "Shut Down"".

    The Leftists are so wrapped up in their warped in the head attempts to seize power they missed the real event. What really happened is that Pelosi and Schumer exposed themselves in front of the world that they didn't want open discussion (TRANSPARENCY) on the border discussion, where Trump was 100% alright with a discussion in the light of day away from the back rooms where Americans constantly get screwed over by Leftists.

    Trump exposed them, and they didn't even realize it! Pelosi went for the trap! She actually said, "Let's not talk about this publicly". SERIOUSLY! America heard it, but the Leftists were deaf to it, because they are so out of touch. Big win for Trump and they don't even know it.

    ‘Fox & Friends’ ‘Stunned’ by Trump’s Loss to Pelosi on Border Wall Funding

    Donald Trump's border wall may have just crumbled forever

    I mean seriously, who knew that governing could be so complicated!?

    Bullets are cheaper than bricks, perhaps we should try that approach instead? Have you never heard of the Army Corp of Engineering? You don't know that each military branch has construction units? One might ASSume you were the ignorant one here...
