Trump Is Getting His Wall
Border Patrol experts favor this design.
It's called a Bollard Wall
(very confusing to the news media)

What is it with our best-paid friends in the conservative media these days? They seem stuck on doom-and-gloom no matter the facts. Do they not know what is in the spending bill Congress just passed? Or is there just some playbook of pessimism they follow to keep their audiences? Or are they so lazy they just follow along with fake newscasters that since Trump is getting a mere bollard fence, it isn’t a “wall”, even though the Border Patrol experts favor this design, as it allows them to see through the other side for potential climbers? (I still kind of like Herman Cain’s electric fence, though)
Ann Coulter’s last column is typical, where she ridicules Mr. Trump’s OMB director for somehow agreeing not to build the Trump Wall in the just passed Continuing Resolution deal with Congress.
But in reality, there is plenty of money in this year’s CR as even one liberal source grudgingly confirmed for Trump’s border wall -- both to repair 20 miles of existing steel pedestrian barrier (important, as illegals have cut holes in the most desirable locations) and to replace another 20 miles of the worthless “vehicle barrier” with the good bollard designs. Many more miles will be added this fall as well when Congress does next year’s full budget.
What most people don’t know is that virtually all the 700 miles of the land border from San Diego to El Paso already has a fence. The problem is, only about half of that is the substantial kind, and the feds have only been slowly improving it. (Even President Obama upgraded miles of the insubstantial parts, but then lied about the extent of it.) Trump can finish this job in a few years and have a powerful barrier to entry at all the most important crossing regions.
The CR also has more money for the border in several other categories from drones to Coast Guard boats to more immigration judges and ICE interior enforcement.

install this first
then build a BIG WALL
hmmm... are you sure the wall(fence) isn't designed and meant to keep you locked in? when the shtf, ! fences, wars,& money...lol...silly sheeple...
yeah I'm pretty sure it's to keep people OUT rather than in.
lol... and the school system is there to educate...lol
home school
if you're responsible enough to have kids.
their education is your responsibility
then they can be anti social just like me... :-)
is that a problem?
LOL...
kinda makes it hard to go out and meet sheeple... they learned something with group learning...baa baa bad info coming from a black sheep...lol
in the United States the combined (men and women) average life expectancy is 78.94 years. If you define 'children' as 'pre-puberty' then for girls (in the US) it's age 9 to 14 (av..11.5), for boys it's age 12 to 16( av 14) with a combined average of 12.75 ....call it 13.
Roughly speaking then you are an adult 6.191372549011961 times times longer than you are a child OR..... to look at it the the other way you are a child .16151507474031 as long as you are an adult.
For their entire life a person will interact with adults. They will interact for children for roughly 13/79ths of that time...
BUT WAIT...you may have noticed that a 2 year old (unless we are discussing liberals ) acts differently from a fourteen year old...where as past the age of puberty all adults act ROUGHLY the same...
SO...what we have here is a failure to communicate. Why teach kids to 'socialize' with kids when , (unless they run a day care center or pursue a career teaching pre-teens or go into politics) they will be called upon to do so for such a relatively brief period of time?
Why teach them a skill which is guaranteed to be obsolete? Why not 'socialize' them into adult society from the start?
I think the wall is going to be virtual rather than material
why not both?
there's ALL KINDS of cute tech than can be tried out along the wall.
it'd be a great place to test new toys.
Oh for sure. I am kind of curious as well!
looks doable to me!
Wasn't the money for wall repair a left-over from the Obama budget and we will see a bigger budget for wall construction later in 2017?
yup...the money is already appropriated. That's been a strawman argument from the beginning.
Either that or the press are just stupid.
I want to see how they will deal with the Rio Grande, and the proposed levee...could be entertaining, but it would be cheaper to import a few thousand pirhannas, would it not?
Rio Grande would be EASY
It would be easier, and less expensive, to put a few companies of jarheads on the border and tell them to have fun.
ain't nothing cheap about the marines.
...and absolutely no doubt they would seal the border...
Perhaps Trump was right when he said Mexico will pay for the wall. The world's economic stability is shaky at best and paper/digital assets may soon take a downturn.
On the other hand, cryptocurrencies and precious metals will rise in value during this senario, and likely most rapidly. Mexico, being one of the largest producers of silver would gladly pay for the wall to close down the border. Especially in light of new prospective (pun) foreign opportunists, for their own protection.
there's a lot of ways that they might pay for it...eh?
Indeed, in deed. Enjoying the speculation.
