[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are uninformed if you think the wall is the only thing Republicans/this administration has tried since 2017 to address border security. Read a newspaper people![/quote]

Exactly.  This is the line that CNN and MSNBC have been pushing.  "The wall" is all they talk about even though tech and personnel have been included from the beginning.

January, 2018:

[quote]The Trump administration has revealed its master plan for securing the border -- and it's going to cost $33 billion.

Of that total, $18 billion will be required for President Donald Trump's long-promised border wall, according to Customs and Border Protection documents obtained by CNN that were sent to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
[b]The remaining $15 billion would cover technology, personnel and readiness, the document says.[/b][/quote]

"The Wall" is what Trump.talks about all the time, and very  rarely mentions other things, so he is pushing the narrative himself.  And it is the only thing he repeatedly insists on.  If he had been pushing "comprehensive border security," and willing to make a real.deal,  he would gotten that including a wall a long time ago.  But that "comprehensive border security," is difficult to chant at rallies [/quote]
+1  Perhaps if his message talked about comprehensive border security  that could include a wall more people would've been willing to listen, but his focus on the wall and only the wall is what the public heard.  I have no doubt most Trump supporters also only heard "build the wall" and not comprehensive border security, and that's why they voted for him.  You aren't fooling anyone with your flip flops.

Dems were willing to give $25 billion in border security. If Trump was serious about comprehensive border security, he would've taken that. But no, he was focused on the wall, just like you Trumpsters.  [/quote]
