An interesting article from CNN. You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

His wall will be the poster of an abject failure of presidency. A really bad leader, when we actually needed the best. The world is counting down ... .. . President - Fort Collins Browns Backers

These folks didn't think so: Quote: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/20...rder-wall-2006/ ....The Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by President George W. Bush, authorized about 700 miles of fencing along certain stretches of land between the border of the United States and Mexico. The act also authorized the use of more vehicle barriers, checkpoints and lighting to curb illegal immigration, and the use of advanced technology such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles. At the time the act was being considered, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer were all members of the Senate. (Schumer of New York is now the Senate minority leader.) Obama, Clinton, Schumer and 23 other Democratic senators voted in favor of the act when it passed in the Senate by a vote of 80 to 19.

An interesting article from CNN. The Mexican 'wall' might work. It will work because Americans adhering to laws aren't going to go find a different place to cross illegally. Trump's wall wasn't opposed because most Dems want open borders. In fact I don't know a single person who is for open borders. Trump's wall was opposed because it's a giant waste of money and merely symbolic and a dog whistle to the Alt Right and the Supremacists. Walls aren't effective barriers to entry across 3000 miles. More economic and efficient preventative systems are available. But hey - the Dems being against the Wall was an easy manipulation by Trump and Breitbart et al - so the lie was that Dems want open borders .... and all the Trump supporters jumped on board with that label. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...f559_story.html https://www.desertsun.com/story/news/pol...ali/2610599001/ https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/11/2/20945336/trump-border-wall-smugglers-saw-us-mexico Last edited by mgh888; 07/11/20 09:59 AM.

The section in question is a roughly 3-mile (5-kilometer) fence of steel posts just 35 feet (10 meters) from the Rio Grande, the river that forms the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas. That’s much closer to the river than the government ordinarily builds border barriers in South Texas because of concerns about erosion and flooding that could violate U.S. treaty obligations with Mexico. Trump tweeted Sunday in response to a ProPublica-Texas Tribune report that the riverbank has started to erode. A federal judge on Wednesday ordered attorneys for Fisher Industries and opponents of the private wall to set a schedule for experts to visit the site and inspect any erosion. “I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads,” Trump wrote. “It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles.” Tommy Fisher, CEO of Fisher Industries, said Sunday that he thought the president “just got some misinformation on this stuff” and that he had “complete respect” for Trump. _________ HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt
