Remember when America was great and embraced grand engineering challenges: Panama Canal, Hoover Dam, Golden Gate Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, etc? China can build a 13,200 mile long wall without the use of modern engineering techniques yet modern, liberal America can’t even protect a 2000 mile long border. https://www.foxnews.com/us/145m-border-wall-project-in-texas-awarded-customs-and-border-protection-says
Potus delivering on promises. MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Think about all those projects you listed to define America’s greatness. Most of those things helped bring people and trade together. A reflection of building opportunities, not limiting them.
These people are coming in illegally and clearly aren't interested in Mexico's offers of asylum. To be a citizen means obeying the law, sorry but they are losing the opportunity themselves.
Why don’t they stay in Mexico? They share similar culture and speak the same language. People lose their asylum seeker title as soon as they enter a safe country that’s willing to give them asylum by international law.
145million wasted, walls don’t stop illegals coming in.
Really? How do you know? Was there a study about it? Because that’s not what folks believed in Sandia when I was there 🤔
Ever heard of “tunnels” and “ladders”. If you need to be told that then its really waste of time.
I fundamentally do not understand how people think this is a good idea. You really think illegals can cross long stretches of desert mountains by foot but using a ladder is too hard for them?
Tell that to Israel. Do you think Israel should remove their wall and let in everyone who wants to kill them? Are you anti-Semitic as well or only anti-American?
Literally orders of magnitude different scale of problem. Totally irrelevant. If we were as small as israel and had mexico on 3 sides my answer would be completely different.
Somehow we can already today automate the detection of troop movements across the world but we’re supposed to believe, according to liberal logic, that it’s impossible to automate the monitoring of border illegals into our country and that it’s impossible to stop them.
It is quite automated to some extend. I did an internship at Sandia and they have amazing technology to do it. Their budget was severely cut during Obama administration.
So if we can detect illegals crossing the border why do we need a wall?
Thought Mexico is paying for the wall? Yet another promise broken from the deficit exploding Trumptards
We cut a better deal with Mexico. Good enough to cover the wall.
So US taxpayers are paying for a wall that ladders and dynamite and take care of. Why are republicans so fucking dumb and wasteful of taxpayer money? Smh
"Walls don't stop illegals". Aight, where is the competing offer from the other side of the aisle? Shall we just let all of them in?!
Yes. Open borders is the only morally defensible position.
Yes open borders because the world is made of bubble gum and rainbows. Let’s do that!
Walls have been useless ever since the advent of gun powder
I’m not the other side as you define above but will answer the question anyways. Use automation, drones, tech to detect people movement. Not difficult for a country which claims to be #1 in technology. Yes wall is a stupid idea and just a political statement.
All this tech you mention is unfortunately politics driven. Funding, political wind will decide if we want to use it. I am unable to understand why the concept of a border ( which enforces who we let in) for a country is so bad.
If the administration can decide to spend on wall they can very well decide to spend on tech. Its political rhetoric hence they keep chanting build the wall so the issue is alive and votes keep coming. Another stunt and waste of $$$ The total price of President Trump's military deployment to the border, including the cost of National Guard forces that have been there since April, could climb well above $200 million by the end of 2018
They can. They don’t want to.
Oh of course they want to come to America. It’s their life ambition. We’ve gotta protect our land and keep the illegal scums out.
I meant leftists can build the wall but they don’t choose to.
