President Trump has not backed down from his desire for a solid, concrete wall, but has acknowledged that metal slats could be better in certain sectors, as border patrol can see on the other side of it. The Washington Examiner reports:
President Trump insisted Monday morning he’s not done with the idea for a concrete border wall, the type of structure he promised repeatedly on the campaign trail in 2016.
“An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media,” Trump tweeted Monday. “Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides). Makes sense to me!”
Earlier in December, Trump said the the wall would “beautiful” and constructed of “artistically designed steel slats” where those patrolling the border would be able to see through to the other side, making it easier to monitor.
Since Democrats did not budge in providing the $5 billion Trump demands for the border wall in a spending bill, the government was forced into a partial shutdown when funding for the Department of Homeland Security and several other federal agencies ran out the Friday before Christmas.
Adapting original plans to better meet the needs of border security is a fact. Whether a wall is of solid concrete or metal slats, it will serve the same purpose – controlling the border against unknown threats.
Screw the wall, put in a 5 mile deep hyper-dense minefield. It’ll help with evolution too.
The wall needs to extend northward & east of California, excluding California from the rest of the USA allowing them to have what they eagerly want: “undocumented” immigrants. Of course the problem with this is that California will allow them to vote which is what the left wants in the first place
Although you may be right, we still have many who believe in the constitution and the rule of law. We just need to make our voices heard loud and clear over the spoiled, whining Democrats that do the yelling now. Our voices need to drown out theirs!
We would not need a wall so badly if Demonrats, RINO’S, and a pathetically impotent congress had not sold their allegiance to the highest bidder for decades. The have created a premeditated myriad of loopholes that entices, finances and perpetuates, what is for all practical purposes, AN OPEN BORDER. The USA is the “Boardwalk and Park-Place” in an ongoing game of “globalists monopoly”, and if it were not for Trump we would already be completely down the tubes. Bringing back manufacturing, oil, coal, steel, aluminum is totally against the globalist plan to ruin us, but is only the beginning of recovery. China has almost insurmountable control and influence over us, and the far left is primed and ready for us to be a totally socialist and lawless sea of ruin. Their plan of flooding the country with totally dependent class of poor and uneducated welfare voters for their endless power is almost in place. Add to the fact that they openly manipulate elections and get away with it, is the final recipe for the end of the America, we once knew.
May God Help Us!
