Supreme Court denies request to halt construction of the border wall

I don't have one. I'm not the one complaining about the cost of the wall. My issue is the cost of illegals on our society

The wall doesn't eliminate the "cost of illegals on our society," so this is not an argument in its favor. Next?
 
I don't know why Trump is wasting billions of dollars to build a giant wall when barbed wire and machine gun nests are so much cheaper?

Do you think murdering children is a reasonable response or do you just want people to think you believe this?
 
I am Ozymandias, king of kings,
Look on my works ye mighty, and despair.
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

That’s the future of Trump’s wall. A monument to absurdity.

I never said anything about murdering children or anyone else. But what kind of parent would bring their children along to commit a crime is the better question?

Not sure if understand you question? Yeah, of course they could, but what kind of monster would use a child as a shield while they commit a crime?

We secure our military bases with guns, fort Knox/treasury, the Capitol, police stations, banks.... why not our borders???

Supreme Court denies request to halt construction of the border wall

Supreme Court denies request to halt construction of the border wall | Fox News

The Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote has denied a request to halt construction of President Trump’s border wall over environmental concerns.

A number of groups, including the ACLU and Sierra Club, had asked the high court to get involved again after the justices last year cleared the way for the administration to use military funds for construction while the case played out in the courts.

A federal appeals court had ruled against the administration last month, but the justices, for now, have given another temporary victory to the administration.

Uh, no.

Trump campaigns on border wall. There'''s not much of it - Los Angeles Times

So no, virtually all building so far has been to replace existing dilapidated sections of the fence. According to Homeland Security's status report only three miles of new wall have been completed. You can stop doing your victory dance now.

Because I'm smart enough to know how ****in walls work.

How many videos do you need to see of people climbing over walls before you figure out they're actually passable?

Yep, build a 20 foot wall and someone will find a 25 foot ladder.

It's a dumb idea. We have the technology to identify people. We could slow or stop illegal immigration by reducing the demand, through tough sanctions on employers. Most illegals overstay VISAs. If we're serious, why don't we begin there?

wrong....

that is NEVER going to stop the shadow economy

and once they are here and working in the neighborhoods, they bring in more to work on their crews...

So now you have a complete company of illegals doing construction, pouring concrete, building decks, etc

But here is the problem....the dont have licenses....they dont have workers comp insurance, or general liability insurance.....they dont pay taxes on the money they make....so they UNDERCUT all the real companies bidding for the same jobs....

And no one is doing a damn thing to stop them. No one....

You think they work at Hormel, and motels, and other actual companies.....that is maybe 40% of all illegals

The rest work for themselves or other illegals who have set up these shadow companies who because they cut corners, are impossible to compete with.....

But someone who needs a deck built, or a driveway poured.....they just know they can get it done at 70% of what the other company told them....

Not as a shield, nobody said that.

We already secure our borders with guns. If you try and make a ground assault of our nation across the border, you're going to be met with a lot of gunfire. And missiles. And tanks.

But an unarmed family walking through the desert trying to find a better life for themselves is not an assault.

In your link...

"The fight continues,” said Dror Ladin, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s National Security Project. “Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump's border wall illegal, and the Supreme Court’s temporary order does not decide the case. We’ll be back before the Supreme Court soon to put a stop to Trump’s xenophobic border wall once and for all.”​

Well, hasn't seemed to be working very well if people can just drive, swim, or leisurely walk across our borders then wouldn't it seem?

Only an actual secure border--- like the 4000 mile border across Eastern Europe defended by the old Soviet Union. As water tight as a frog's ass that border was.

It is an assault on our sovereignty. And in case you haven't gotten the memo, not all the chit coming across that border are just families out for a Sunday stroll. A lot of BAD stuff comes that way and ALL is a crime anyway at one level or another.

If anyone is wanting to come here for a "better life" then there is a legal process for that; apply for citizenship... duh! Do we really need millions of more people here too dumb to figure out a simple legal process right out of the gate?

A metaphorical assault is not an actual assault, fun argument though.

Storm causes erosion at Trump backers''' private border wall - ABC News

They'll be crawling under this wall in no time due to natural erosion, if it isn't blown down by a stiff breeze first.

From the story:
Despite a widely shared viral video purporting to show the storm taking down a border wall, neither the private fence nor government-built border barriers were knocked down by the storm.


200 miles done and more on the way. And you can not stop the construction:2razz: :peace.

How would you know that? We haven't had one, except for limited high-use areas, and in those areas, it HAS CUT DOWN ON ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS. Obviously.

It's an investment. The only reason the Democrats are suddenly opposed to it is because the Republicans want it.

They want more illegals so they can pack Congress. They call them Unregistered Democrats, but only somewhat in jest.

Typical horse **** coming from a liberal who skews the numbers to fit their narrative.


According to your bs source.

The analysis found that illegal immigration cost Texas a total of $2 billion in 2018 through education, health care and incarceration costs. These include costs associated with public schools, higher education, substance abuse services, immunizations and emergency health care.

And the reality.


Cost of Illegal Aliens on Texas
Illegal immigrants, and their children, cost Texans a net $12.36 billion a year. That works out to roughly $6,000 per alien.
