The wall will never be built

[Politruk]

It doesn't matter if Trump is president again. The wall will never be finished. It will never present any difficult obstacle to the coyotes. It would not present an obstacle if it were finished -- Mexicans do have access to ladders and shovels. But it will never cover any significant length of the border.

He didn't really re-visit his "beautiful wall" much during this latest campaign.

Sounds like it'll suffer the same fate as Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico.

(Oh, wait - the people who just voted for him have never heard of that fiasco? Big surprise.)

very true. he didn't mention healthcare either until he got called out for another broken campaign promise.

Its not really a border-control problem anyway -- most unauthorized immigrants entered the country legally and overstayed their visas.

i would like to see those numbers.

Here. It's about half-and-half.

Nearly half of all the unauthorized migrants now living in the United States entered the country legally through a port of entry such as an airport or a border crossing point where they were subject to inspection by immigration officials, according to new estimates from the Pew Hispanic Center.

As much as 45% of the total unauthorized migrant population entered the country with visas that allowed them to visit or reside in the U.S. for a limited amount of time. Known as “overstayers,” these migrants became part of the unauthorized population when they remained in the country after their visas had expired.

Another smaller share of the unauthorized migrant population entered the country legally from Mexico using a Border Crossing Card, a document that allows short visits limited to the border region, and then violated the terms of admission.

The rest of the unauthorized migrant population, somewhat more than half, entered the country illegally. Some evaded customs and immigration inspectors at ports of entry by hiding in vehicles such as cargo trucks. Others trekked through the Arizona desert, waded across the Rio Grande or otherwise eluded the U.S. Border Patrol which has jurisdiction over all the land areas away from the ports of entry on the borders with Mexico and Canada.

The Pew Hispanic Center has previously estimated that there are between 11.5 and 12 million unauthorized migrants in 2006.1 The calculations reported in this fact sheet suggest that roughly 4.5 to 6 million or 40 to 50% of the total entered the country legally through ports of entry. Of them, some 4 to 5.5 million entered with nonimmigrant visas, mostly as tourists or business visitors, and another 250,000 to 500,000 entered with Border Crossing Cards.

The wall will never be built and remember the other prophecy that Trump will never win the election. Lots of things never happen in never never land.

 

[Politruk]

Remember that the Great Wall, while an impressive feat of civil engineering, never did keep anybody out of China.

 

[Politruk]

Nobody but Trump ever really wanted the wall, and he has lost interest.

 

[Politruk]

We can tell because he never talks about it any more. And, as we all know, his attention span is very limited. If he does not talk about the wall, that means he has forgotten about it.

The distance is too vast for the wall to be complete. It's a rallying cry for the poorly educated.

1,951 miles, of which 636 miles has barriers intended to prevent pedestrians from crossing and a further 105 miles has vehicle barriers (but allow pedestrians freely across).

Everyone realizes that “Da Wall” has been in continual construction since the ‘50’s…right? Kind of like Dulles airport , but I digress…Some parts just wire barriers, some actual concrete buttresses. It will continue, who knows if it will ever get finished, but one thing is for certain. The mass migrations of leftist foot soldiers trekking across will cease come Jan 21…

You neglected to use the lunacy font: lEFtiSt FooT SoLdiErS!!!!!

Poor MAGAs. Trying to rationalize Trump’s bullshit is a full-time job.

There never were any. Nobody migrates for political purposes.

When you say "nobody" I assume that you are talking about people in your circle in life. They are probably people that have the same views. On the other hand, I know lots of people that talk about the wall and want it up fast. Also, if you listen to fake news like ABC. CBS. NBC or CNN they probably don't talk about it very much either. Fox does a little but they too are largely out of touch with real people. At any rate, the wall includes the physical structure but also the legal structure and political structure. Trump and his MAGA millions want the damn invasion to end. They want the millions and millions of criminals that came sneaking into the USA to get deported as fast as possible. Very important to MAGA folks. By the way, the false idea that walls don't work is a talking point of the above fake news lefty propaganda outlets. Don't let their bull shit confuse you about what MAGA wants.

What part of the wall being in continual construction since the 50’s are you disagreeing with? Can’t wait to hear this!

 

[Rightguide]

It's being built as we speak.

You pretend that Trump made significant progress building his promised wall along the entire border, and getting Mexico to pay for it presumably.

And you pretend lEfTiSt FooT SolDiERs are invading.

In other words, you are a classic delusional paranoiac.

 

[Politruk]

fake news like ABC. CBS. NBC or CNN

You are an idiot.

 

[Politruk]

IMMIGRATION IS NOT INVASION.

Type that 100 times before you post another line on this subject.

 

[Politruk]

"Criminals"? That's a myth.

thanks, president biden! he's built more of the wall than the liar who lied about the wall

No, it doesn't.

Silly Politruk, it doesn't have to be a functional wall, it simply has to look imposing, in order to give the MAGA rank 'n file the illusion of safety.
