Ridiculous. One the one hand, we have interventions which have been proven to be effective and successful. On the other, we have this idiotic wall, which is nearly universally acknowledged to be mostly useless.
Guess which one the Orange Goblin wants to fund?

san diego resident and can not confirm your point on a wall, as ours has proven to be very effective.

Show me a 20ft wall, I'll show you a 21ft ladder

People in my family who are border patrols voted for this a-ho thinking it would make their jobs easier. Nice.
imjusthereforthepictures
we currently have a prez who's running the country as if he's playing a rousing game of roller coaster tycoon. terrific!

Like it matters, cartels are getting more creative anyways. They had a turtle hooked up with cases of cocaine.

You mean someone in our govt is doing something moronic? Say it ain't so.

You expected logic?
IPostAboutPoliticsIfYouDontLikeItSuckIt
This is alternative logic.
POWAAAAAAAAAAAAR
Better surveillance, patrol vehicles, and training for BP agents? Nope, cut from all of that for a big wall. Genius ever heard of TUNNELS???

He’s a fucking idiot who doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’ll take any measures he can to achieve what he’s said he’ll do.
sarabearr
Doesn’t matter if he screws up the country and its people in the process.

as long as they finally `won' something, theyre happy.

More people are leaving to go to Mexico than coming to the US (even before Trump was elected) at this point the wall is to keep them here.

How will a wall keep them there?
boobs675309
It was a joke. The wall is a huge waste of money because it's expensive, unnecessary and will be ineffective.
IPostAboutPoliticsIfYouDontLikeItSuckIt
Gotcha. Missed the sarcasm.

The funniest part of all this is that he swore that the Mexican people would pay for it period and tons of people gobbled that up

He made it a chant at every one of his rallies.

I mean, it's not the first time we've been openly lied to by POTUS but COME THE FUCK ON! How does the general public not see through this?
IPostAboutPoliticsIfYouDontLikeItSuckIt
They’re in a cult. The “reality” they’ve constructed requires them to not see it.
GiantRobotsRule
They did. 2.83 million more people voted for his opponent. Even Trump voters knew it was bs. But anger+rage+racism > logic+reason

I hate that you're so right! This shouldn't be! +1

He is just playing to an ignorant base, If he really wanted to cut illegal immigration he would use e-verify, for a free effective start.
BarfTittiesGalore
Will you explain what that is, for us lamens?
DadApproved
E-Verify would show if more than one person was using a work permit, SS# and maybe other things.
YeahDaddySpinOnMyAss
Death camps on the borders that that transfer the poco locos that try to get into America.
BarfTittiesGalore
So, that's what e-verify is? C'mon now.
eion85
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Verify Currently a voluntary program
BarfTittiesGalore
Sounds way too simple and effective. This Administration needs some muck this up until it's no longer useful /s
countbassy
The very reason employers don’t use e-verify. If they had legals, they’d have to pay them at least minimum wage

Well, there's also a lack of awareness it exists and the extra effort of entering the info vs. filing an I-9. Never discount laziness.
BarfTittiesGalore
Awareness and laziness +1 good points
