Wall built?

Has anyone thought maybe Trump is doing this as some sort of ruse he is using to use as part of his campaign for 2020?

i suspect some unsavory legislation is being rushed through while we're being distracted by the wall crisis.
Smoke and mirrors.

Live news reports of actual people in tx who spoke on camera live claiming trump is trying to kick them out of their house for the wall but I will get the source dont worry

That is a problem of Eminent Domain itself. Few people are willing to give up their property to government.

I do not think it is all a ruse. I do think Trump's PR staff is prepared to spin any/all failures regarding the border and immigration against Dems for 2020 and the next round of Congressional elections. The GOP needs something to cover their failure when it had a majority and those members that voted for the spending Bills counter to their rhetoric.

Wow so there os a lawsuit against Trump using his veto power to go against congress to get his emergency money by the state of California. He wont be able to pass it through congress because both Republicans and Democrats will vote it down, people are trying to pass the law so he wont be able to do that.

A big bunch of people who are being thrown out of their houses on the street and have no where to live if the wall gets built are taking Trump to court which has to be done with before he is allowed to actually build, so if he gets to build it, could be 5 years from now LOL.

There are actually a bunch of others trying use the courts to vote down the wall. Looks like the whole world is against trumps wall except Pence and his followers wow!

Sense Trump promised y'all a wall built way earlier then now wonder what you ll think about the wall that never get built LOL!
so....you get a chuckle do you?

we send our sons and daughters to protect borders of other countries
territory and all that

they die there
they get crippled
maimed

and we here at home won't defend the borders of our own country

lol?

I hope that happens, because many in Trump's base will only hear excuses. After this, if Trump still can't produce a wall, his chances of even surviving the primary won't be looking very good. Calling a nation emergency was probably the worst thing he could have done, because time is ticking and if he wants a second term he has to get a significant chunk of the wall done by November 2020. He could have played it on the Dems, but he gave that up. For Trump, having declared a national emergency, it's do or die.

President Trump will build sections of the wall. I predict that sometime next year you will see him standing in front of a completed section campaigning. Visuals are powerful things. He will campaign on “finishing the wall”.

The borders of our own country are not under attack. There is no threat here. No "invasion."

Illegal immigration is much lower than it was 5, 10 or 20 years ago. Where was the crisis then?
Many of the "invaders' are just here to ask for political asylum, as is their right under international law. Why is this an invasion?

Oh your saying theres a war who are we at war with? Or is it possible that like Trump your making up fake crime that does not exist. The Mayor of El Paso says Trump is wrong they have had very little crime and says theres none of that yous aid going on. The one woman who spoke against getting the wall because they are forcing her off her land says her Dad is a police office who patrols the area where the wall will be built and says theres little to no violence out there.
So no that's not funny and hey its not going on. There has been several law enforcement folks who are claiming what you say does not happen so.

But hey sense your brought it up, with all the talk of getting rid of drugs and underage girls being held kidnapped to be sex trafficked:

Why does he not do anything about the bigger more monstrous problems with both of those issues right here in America? Meth is the biggest addiction in drugs in America made in America so is Pot and alcohol and prescription drugs. Did you know pot and prescription drugs are just doors that lead to cocain and Heroin, get rid of that and teh drug problem goes.

If he'd make prostitution legal it would cut back on under age prostitutes.

And most of us citizens in the border states, as well as law enforcement, don't perceive any crisis.

And most reasonable people would be concerned about it only if these "intruders" posed a problem.
If, as the economists say, the intruders were a positive benefit, they might even encourage them.

Unfortunately, Mexico isn't bringing us her most law-abiding citizens.

President Trump Sends a Letter on Border Security to Congress | The White House
  • In FY2017 and FY2018, ICE officers arrested approximately 235,000 aliens on various criminal charges or convictions within the interior of the United States—including roughly 100,000 for assault, 30,000 for sex crimes, and 4,000 for homicides.
Below is the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for FY 2018 and FY 2017 showing there were 4.000 illegal aliens whom ICE apprehended for homicide.

https://www.ice.gov/doclib/about/offices/ero/pdf/eroFY2018Report.pdf

So if approximately, 2,000 illegal aliens get convicted in the United States for homicides each year, and if there are approximately total 17,000 homicides committed on average each year in the United States, then this means illegal aliens are committing approximately 12 percent of the homicides. Illegal aliens are approximately 4 percent of the U.S. population who are responsible for 12 percent of the homicides in the U.S.; this means illegal aliens are nearly 3 times as likely as legal U.S citizens and legal U.S. residents to kill.

The ratio of murderers who are Mexican to Mexicans who are non-murderers is three times more than the ratio of non-Mexicans who are murderers to non-Mexicans who are non-murderers in the United States; this is based on homicide rate statistics. from the U.S. and Mexico'

List of countries by intentional homicide rate - Wikipedia

The evidence from U.S. customs and immigration enforcement arrest records shows that Mexicans neither become less violent nor less homicidal upon illegally crossing the border from Mexico into the United States.

"Over the years, thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country, and thousands more lives will be lost if we don’t act right now."

"This is a humanitarian crisis," he added. "A crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul." - President Donald J. Trump

Please let's finish building the wall!
