[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it was the fact that she couldn’t think of a single thing she’d do differently.  I work on immigration programs in an administrative role (not law enforcement) but could still “see” with my own eyes how the Biden administration had totally wrecked programs meant for asylum and humanitarian parole, just to import more impoverished people. Why they were obsessed with this, I do not know, because it was not the Democrat party of the Obama years or the sort of thing Schumer would have supported 15 or 20 years ago.

I disagree with Trump on many domestic social things, [b]but I am looking forward to the wall and the deportations.[/b]

The "wall" is a fanciful idea. Most of what's there now is more like a fence and the chances of there ever being a wall covering the whole US Mexican border are very slim. The wall will have to cover over 1900 miles. Currently in parts, it covers 650 miles. There's a long way to go.[/quote]

That’s ok. They built a lot, can build more, and can repair a lot of what’s been there for years but has become dilapidated.  Even the shorter razor wire stuff being put up by Texas slows people down and allows officers to get there and deter entry.  Also when I think “wall” I also think of a combination of physical structures, plus - until more structure can be built - a lot of drone surveillance, and more men / horses / ATVs / dogs.

I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa when I was young, then did a lot of other work in the developing world on other continents, and came away understanding that we have to be firm on countries making themselves more stable and prosperous by embracing democracy and free-market capitalism.  The young men of those countries need to stay where they are and fight (figuratively, and literally if needed) to overthrow the dictators that have remained as head of state for decades.
