Why Don't the Liberals Want a Wall?

[jgarden]

Barbara Aryan has posted the LIES from the New York Times. (Barbara loves lies.) Now let's hear from some border agents, most of whom are Hispanic by the way:

Does anyone really think that these border agents would have been allowed on stage with the President if they had dissenting viewpoints - only conservatives could be that "gullible!"

Even if the President was asserting that "black is white," he could arrange to have a stage full of supporters that agreed with him!

The reality is that individuals voting illegally on the scale required to influence most elections would require a large, well financed operation with "insider" cooperation

Sounds like a conspiracy.

How soon the Liberals forget about the Congressional hearings on Acorn and other organizations illegally signing up people to vote, and all the instances of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck and dead people voting

What happened to the wall...?

Nancy Pelosi told Trump he wasn't going to get it. And after couple of tantrums, he sulked for a bit and did what he was told.

Apparently, he's hoping that courts will let him bypass Congress's role in approving expenditures. Doesn't seem very likely, though.

In spite of congressional obstruction, on March 27, the Pentagon handed the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) $1 billion – out of the $6.1 billion in defense funds – to build 57 miles of fencing. On April 9, the USACE awarded a $789 million fixed-price contract for barrier replacement in Santa Teresa (New Mexico) to SLS, and a $187 million design-bid-build contract for primary pedestrian wall replacement in Yuma (Arizona) to Barnard. These were the first contracts utilizing emergency declaration funds. Ten days later, on April 19, the USACE started prequalifying contractors for $8 billion in construction work. According to a construction industry news and analysis site, “the Pentagon is [now] ready to mobilize nearly the full emergency fund amount for projects which will include wall, levee, fencing, access roads, gates, repairs and more.”

In late April 2019, DHS issued two waivers facilitating more rapid construction within the U.S. Border Patrol’s Yuma and El Paso sectors in Arizona and Texas. “The projects covered by the waivers include up to approximately 53 miles of new bollard wall in place of dilapidated and outdated designs, in addition to, road construction and improvement and lighting installation.” (The waivers were published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2019.)

Conclusion

In 2006, Congress required that a barrier be constructed. But the project was never completed as mandated, and much of the border wall/fence lies in disrepair or is built to subpar standards. With illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and human smuggling reaching historic levels, an ongoing problem, and the threat of terrorism ever increasing, it is critical that a proper security barrier be constructed.

A physical barrier on the southern border is a necessity if our government wishes to meet its obligation to protect the sovereignty and security of the United States of America. Besides helping stem the tide of illegal immigration, it also limits the ability of drug cartels, human traffickers, terrorists, and other national security threats to access the United States from Mexico and the rest of Central and South America. Furthermore, a secure border sends the message that prospective immigrants are expected to follow the rule of law.

Great to see you !!! I see you still think Trump is "staging" and "scripting" things but that's only because your side has been doing that for decades. The left MANUFACTURES news, stories and narratives so much that people think it;s real news. God help us all.

What happened? Last I heard it's standing strong and growing. Good to see you're still trying to salvage what's left of your party. I understand the fact that you're too fragile to speak out anywhere else but TOL, but please. Do you think anybody on this site accepts a word you say?

Last I heard, Trump was saying that putting up some fence, or even repairing existing fence would be good enough for his "big beautiful wall." He's been kinda subdued about it since Nancy Pelosi took him to the woodshed over his "I'll shut down the government and hold my breath, unless you give me a wall" tantrum.

Good to see you're still trying to salvage what's left of your party.

Libertarians always lose. That's just how it is.

Let's not disregard President Trump's demeanor in a particular issue. the man is not stupid, even in the midst of eating only 2 scoops of ice cream while every body else ate only one.

I did not like him at all to be the president (while I also did not want Hillary), however, the more SOME started talking bad about him relentlessly, the more they made me to pay attention to him and his administration.

Thank you President Trump's haters for opening my eyes, and, no, he is not perfect, neither is the one talking to you in the mirror.

I did the research; Now you help me get the word out (BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!)
The World’s Largest Oil Reserves By Country
Proven oil reserves are those that have a reasonable certainty of being recoverable under existing economic and political conditions, with existing technology.
10. United States - 39,230 million barrels
9. Libya - 48,363 million barrels
8. Russia - 80,000 million barrels
7. United Arab Emirates - 97,800 million barrels
6. Kuwait - 101,500 million barrels
5. Iraq - 142,503 million barrels
4. Iran - 158,400 million barrels
3. Canada - 169,709 million barrels
2. Saudi Arabia - 266,455 million barrels
1. Venezuela - 300,878 million barrels
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/...y-country.html

the above adds up to---- 1,304,838 million barrels

The total worldwide oil consumption was 93 million barrels per day (bbl/day) on average in 2015 according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...il_consumption
93 million a day X 356 days = 33,945 a year
1304838/33945 = 38 years then it's all gone!!!

I want people to know this and we all can help make a new future for our children NOW!!

Those are proven reserves. There might be half again as much out there. And fracking technology suddenly boosted proven reserves.

Fossil fuels are going to decline over time, but as other technologies improve, we'll be O.K. Big issue now is to keep the fossil fuel companies from blocking new technologies.

I hope and pray The Messiah will have returned long before that. No worries here...
