Who when Pelosi first uttered this bs about impeachment thought “that’s wierd”. Don’t you think now someone in DOJ warned her what was coming in Muellars Report. It was a lame attempt on her part to get out front of the bad news for the Democrats.
It isn’t possible to secure the border without effective barriers. Even if you hired and deployed a hundred thousand BP agents to cover the southern border it would not slow the flow of illegals into the country by much if any at all.
They are now in large part coming to the US and seeking out the BP agents to turn themselves in and claim asylum.
The Physical barriers are a small part of what Trump has asked for which includes more Border Patrol, more detention beds and centers, High Tech and Mobile forces on the border, more immigration judges, and of course the key to securing the border which is barriers that will force traffic into every more hospitable terrain or through the legal ports of entry.
Walls are the antithesis of globalization, like Reagan said, give them work permits, open the border both ways, let them come and go as they please. But then comparing Reagan and Trump is hysterical.
One of Reagan’s greatest regrets from his time in office was amnesty.
What have we gotten since that time? An increase of about 17-20 million illegal aliens, wages and benefits artificially depressed, and tens of thousands of Americans falling victim to criminal illegal aliens.
What we have most certainly learned is that there is an unconscionable and entirely preventable cost to the American People by leaving our southern border open.
Walls, electronic monitoring above and below ground and rapid deployment capability for the border patrol can and will solve the problem.
Democrats are fighting like hell to prevent it because it will cost them tens of millions of votes in the future or so they think.
If we allow them to win we surrender the country and a hundred years from now we’ll be no better off than Mexico is today.
Worldwide surveys show that there are around a billion people who would flood into the US if we allowed them to which would turn us into just another third world cesspool with nukes.
