Oh, for heavens sake, Joan. Do you even know what border security is? Do you understand what the cartels do and how much ccontraband they smuggle? It’s a business, and businesses use cost effective means in their logistics.
I know i’m talking over your head, so let me try to penetrate your fuzzy conservative thinking.
They move large amounts through ports of entry, in shipping containers, in semi-trailers, in false compartments of private vehicles.
Why? Because they need to move large amounts to meet demand you stupid cow.
The immigrants come here to get away from gangs, violence and economic and political instability. The first thing they do is turn themselves in to the Border Patrol and request asylum. The ONLY FUCKING EMERGENCY is in the judicial system to process their applications.
To secure the border you need technology for surveillance and personnel for patrolling, and judges to process the applications. Not a low tech wall that hasn’t been designed for the wide range of terrain it is supposed to be built on.
And your supposed Republican values, respect for individual rights and property rights, your President is proposing to run roughshod over land owners, who know there isn’t an emergency and don’t want the wall. Do you even know how much payment for all that land the government would have to pay? Do you understand how many suits against eminent domain will be brought and cost the government to obtain access to that land? Do you know how much the government will have to spend to create roads over all the rough terrain? How much the government will have to pay for power, and lodging, for in the site production facilities? This isn’t one single bid, it is multiple projects for small packets of borderline construction, which means redundancy and MORE cost.
And your fucking single design wall isn’t going to be adequate to stand on all the different terrain from sand to loam to bedrock to riverbank. It is designed to physically fail.
And we haven’t even started to talk about how building on the rio grande will erode and degrade both the land and whatever barrier is built there. And let us not forget what it will do to the land owners remaining land. Deny them access to water, cede land to Mexico, and cause significant seasonal flooding.
But I don’t expect unthinking, knee-jerk Republicans to use critical thought processes and analysis, I fully expect them to put their heads up Trump’s ass and follow dogma blindly.
Trump doesn’t understand what border security means. He doesn’t negotiate, he won’t compromise. He is a failure, incompetent, and unfit.
And every single person who supports him is guilty of helping him destroy our democratic institutions and destroying our nation.
All we need now is a Reichstag fire. And Trump is looking for one. You are the enemy.
Both Senate and House Republicans, and Democrats, should be forced into a on the record vote of their individual positions, regarding respecting a Presidents Emergency Declaration, so Voters are quite clear about who is for curbing the illegal invasion of our Southern Border, once and for all.
Each of them will be before the Voters at some point, and many have led their constituents to believe they are with them about protecting our Nations borders.
Such a vote will allow them to announce proudly their individual position, or allow each to cave into acting on behalf of their political handlers and financiers.
Whatever they do, however they vote, the ability for the House and Senate to Override a Presidential Veto is unlikely, for the exact same reasons.
National Emergency Declarations have been made around 50 or more times, since the beginning of the process, the passage of laws by Congress in this regard. A wide variety of reasons and actions have been taken using such power by the Executive Branch, for the very reason that Congress has limited ability to pass the necessary legislation in a timely way, and a limited ability to override a Presidential Veto, in such regard.
This President was elected, over 17 Republican contenders in the Primaries, as the only ONE to show leadership on this issue, and the only one trusted not to take NO for an answer by Democrats and RINOs in Congress.
By any means necessary, President Trump MUST drive construction of a WALL, a EFFECTIVE BARRIER that blocks illegal entry along our Southern Border, even when there is no human Customs, Border Protection Officer in place with the means to STOP such illegal behavior.
Add the drones and electronics and backup fences and whatever it takes, on top of enough and then some additional CPB and other armed personnel to get the job done in a thorough and professional matter, at whatever cost there may be involved.
Anticipate that Democrats/Rinos, the enemies within, domestic enemies of liberty, may from time to time find ways to turn off the effective use of any process or system to which they can get access, and STILL, need a Barrier that STOPS the invasion PRIOR TO ENTRY.
With that task DONE, interior enforcement can become the focus, one illegal alien at a time, to rid our Nation of this problem.
