I will defend Trump's Wall. It is a great idea to shut up the Republicans who have been pining for a Wall for years, but only if Trump will give the Democrats something in exchange for their votes. I don't know what the something should be, but it is not simply a reopening of the government. That is a ridiculous counteroffer by Trump, much like offering not to burn down the White House, something a President ought never do. But the right wing does not want a deal. They want an problem that never gets solved.

Here is some of the wall history and a previous shutdown from 10 months ago:

Democrats Should Trade Legalization of Immigrants for a Wall That'll Never be Built

Denying Trump a symbolic victory isn't a good reason to play with the lives of Dreamers.

"But how much harm would a partially-built wall really do? Funding it would not even qualify as a drop in a $4 trillion budget. Meanwhile the potential upside of a deal, if Democrats are effective, is huge."

There's no way that El Humpty Dumpto climbed that wall by himself. He can't even climb his fat ass on a treadmill.

Anybody got the video where the helicopter dropped him on there in a harness before they shot this?

My suggestion to the multi-national corporations that own our prison population is to stop building fences around them. They're a complete waste of money and they don't work. In fact, to counterbalance their large costs to operate their prisons in America versus other 3rd world shitholes, I would suggest that any existing prison with a fence should tear it down right now and sell the metal for scrap.

What a waste of money. What were they thinking?

Why a Texas border wall won’t deter Central American migrants

r-wall-won-t-deter-Central-13541575.php


On his way to McAllen this month, Trump warned of another major caravan forming in Honduras. “A sensor isn’t going to stop it,” Trump said. “But you know what’s going to stop it in its tracks? A nice, powerful wall.”

Asylum seekers coming across the border from Mexico in South Texas have recently devised a new system for defeating the tall barrier fences that were built to keep them out.

“They’ll actually walk up to the border wall, where there are gates,” said Jodi Goodwin, an immigration attorney in Harlingen, Tex. “They know those gates have cameras. So they’ll just wave at the cameras to notify the Border Patrol, ‘We’re here!’”

“They don’t have to worry about getting over a wall,” she continued. “To them, the wall is completely irrelevant.”

“The barrier is going to do nothing to prevent these asylum seekers from crossing here in South Texas,” said Rick Cavazos, the mayor of Los Indios, a border town of 1,100 in the Rio Grande Valley.

“If they’re true asylum seekers, they’re not trying to hide or get away,” Cavazos, a former Border Patrol supervisor, said. “They know they’re going to be brought in, given a court date, and, if they don’t have anything in the system, more than likely be released.”

“If somebody swims across the river, the Border Patrol is not going to attempt to stop that person, because it endangers lives,” Cavazos said. “They could drown. So if they make it to the U.S. side of the river, even though they’re south of the barrier, they’re still in the United States, so they’re afforded due process by way of a hearing.”

The administration has sought measures to narrow that legal path. But for many asylum seekers, the reality of the wall is more of a symbol than an actual hurdle.

Texas U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, who accompanied Trump to the border this month, has long argued that it will take more than a wall to fix the nation’s broken immigration system. “Barriers are necessary, but not sufficient to deal with the problem,” he said.
