[DP_LOVER]

Kinda like in England and France where they are being over run with problems from foreigners? Ya, great idea.

No we are not.

Ever been to the UK?

America builds walls to keep people out. The Krauts built them to keep people in.

Yellow isn't purple but teflon scores in the eighth.......

That wall is a bait and switch lassic token, like his University, etc. He just needed a fantasy thing to nail through his candidacy.

It cannot, and will not happen, it is just too bad people keep mentioning it and wanting it to happen.

You understand the fundamental difference between those walls, right?

the left builds walls to keep people from leaving.

Dear Leader is the one mentioning it and wanting it to happen. I was hoping it was bait & switch, but he seems to actually be serious.

Fortunately (Jagger, don't read this part) Mother Nature seems to be conspiring to save us from our Prez. Harvey, Irma and potentially, Jose'. Well....there went the money. There's no fuckin' way we can lease the equipment, let alone pay for the wall itself. All the Dems have to do is yell, Deficit, deficit, deficit.

 

[sean miguel]

yeah, fortunately.

Building the wall will stimulate the economy, create millions of jobs, and protect America from Mexican terrorists.

Exclusive: Less than 25% of Republicans in Congress endorse border wall funding in USA TODAY survey


President Trump has been adamant that he needs Congress to approve funding to start building his border wall, but Republicans on Capitol Hill are far less adamant about supporting it. When asked by the USA TODAY Network whether they support the president’s initial $1.6 billion budget request to begin construction, only 69 of the 292 Republicans on Capitol Hill said "yes." Among the rest, three Republicans said they oppose the money, several evaded a direct answer, and the rest simply refused to respond to the question.

The USA TODAY Network asked the 534 members of the House and Senate whether they support the $1.6 billion down payment approved by the House and found fewer than 25% of Republicans willing to stand up for the plan.
The House approved $1.6 billion in startup funding as part of a broad national security spending package in July that included billions $658 billion for the Defense Department and $78 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The wall funding was tacked on to the bill at the last minute, and the legislation passed the House with the support of only five Democrats. Five Republicans voted against the bill.
The Senate has not yet taken up the measure, and Congress has since passed a temporary spending bill to keep the government running for the next few months. That puts off until December a battle over the wall and other Trump spending priorities.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., indicated last week that they had struck a deal with Trump to move legislation offering safe harbor for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, and that the bill would not include funding for Trump's wall.
Trump suggested the next day that there was no deal, and that he is insistent on funding for the wall, though he acknowledged it may come later. "If the Democrats aren't going to approve it [money for the wall], then we're not going to do what they want," Trump said. "The wall will happen."

In the USA TODAY Network survey, three Republicans — Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Reps. Steve Pearce of New Mexico and Will Hurd of Texas — said they oppose the $1.6 billion expenditure to begin building the wall.
“I voted against including border wall funding into the recent appropriations package because I favor a border security solution based on improved technology and manpower,” Hurd told USA TODAY. “I’ve made it clear time and time again that building a physical wall from sea to shining sea is the most expensive and least effective way to secure the border.”

Pearce seconded this approach. “I fully support securing the border — it is imperative for the safety and security of New Mexico and our nation,” he said. “The solution must utilize modern technology and update the strategy our nation uses to patrol the border.”

There won't be any wall. Never.

25% ..... Ooooooo! A poll. Another one of those marvelous scientific tools that always predict with 100% accuracy what's going to happen. Yep, just like all the polls that predicted right on the money that Hillary Clinton would win the presidency. Very accurate, very dependable those polls are. Very interesting how people always tell the truth, give their real opinion on polls.

Y'know, I can and have gone anywhere on the interweb and read that exact same comment. Word for word. And so has everyone else here.

Do you have any original insights you'd care to share? Or is constantly regurgitated horseshit the best we can expect from from you?

Even with a 15% margin of error (which is gigantic), it would still have only 45% of GOP congressmen endorsing thhe funding of the wall. Which would still mean that less than half of them would.

 

[Luxman]

It's not a poll where a small percentage of the population is sampled.
All members of the house and senate were asked a question and gave a reply, so it's close to 100% accurate.

You put horseshit out ... horseshit is what you get in return.

You can call it horseshit until you turn blue. The fact of the matter is that it is the truth. Just because someone gets asked a question on a poll, whether with a microphone in their face or not, it's not like they're under oath to tell the truth with the threat of going to prison for perjury if they lie. Polls are useless.

It's about as reliable as believing everyone on these boards is of the gender they claim to be.

 

[Mayhem]

So the answer is, No you do not have any insights that someone else didn't feed you and it's all regurgitated horseshit.

Jus' clearing that up. :thumbsup:

All of the major polls I was watching coming down the stretch had Clinton winning the popular vote by two to three percentage points, and that's exactly how it turned out.

California is declaring it's self as a sanctuary state. Isn't this the same state that has one of the of the biggest problems with illegal immigrants? At what point does USA have to accept and welcome anyone and everyone that wants to come here?

Cool

Isn't this the same state that has one of the of the biggest problems with illegal immigrants?

Beats me. But I just heard they are declaring themselves a sanctuary state, so it doesn't seem to be getting them down.

At what point does USA have to accept and welcome anyone and everyone that wants to come here?

We don't. We never have.

 

[himperv203]

The irony would be that we will have to employ immigrants to build this wall. Outsource it to the Chinese maybe???:dunno:
