Yep. Also they said it's up on the air whether or not they tear the wall completely down. It's in play. This is going to backfire so bad on these liberal idiots. They think they're cool for opening up boarders and letting anyone in. Just wait.

Can the state decide to finish/ construct a wall or does it have to come from Federal Govt as its a counry boarder...........heck..the states should pick it and finish the damn walls in their respective borders...granted where would the money come from but just wondering if they can do that...

I wonder if they'll just bone the contractor or pay them off to not complete the work?
I think there was a section that was privately funded. If you own the land whose to stop you from building a wall?

Well if you have a contract there's expected profits from the contract. The govt just can't "cancel" it... There are legalities involved! So yes, they will have to pay them off, to actually NOT do work! Simply amazing. Plus the steel was all U.S. sourced, so it's not just the builder, but the supply chain, design/engineering, etc., etc ... All in all, the Gov't won't save much $, but that's not their point!
So now we will regress to a form of Gov't, that will step in at each turn, and undo what has been done before, rather than do better, elevate our station! Combine that with the current contemporary Progressivism to bring to top down, rather than the bottom up... We are in good shape to compete with Siri Lanka soon...
Yeah, wait for it!

Bordering states should put up their own walls. Is it not their property? Fuck the feds -- build their own.

Let me get this straight:
Walls and fences are good when they protect elected officials.

But...walls are not good when they are used to protect American sovereignty and law-abiding citizens.

Correct?
BTW - I frequently expect to see Liberal Progressives just keel over from trying to reconcile their cognitive dissonance. But, it never happens. I guess that they just don't think much....if at all.

Those Capitol Hill Fences Aren’t Coming Down Anytime Soon – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
Washington, D.C. Downtown has changed a lot since last week’s massive MAGA wave rolled up Capitol Hill and into the halls of Congress. More than 10,000 National Guardsmen this week were deployed to secure the city during President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. Congressional offices are so...

A machine gun nest every 200yds, I'm ok with that as long as there's no ROE.
How well has border security teams worked so far? Not! Kill enough border runners and it will set precidence for the rest.

I disagree since it will do exactly what they want.
First it will keep the democrats in power and that’s the goal.
Second it will increase crime so they will want more government control and more gun laws.
Third it will make whites the minority.

So you have an armed guard in your backyard or do you have a fence? My fence works great actually.
Do you know who many armed guards this would take?

The average marksman can be trained to reliably take down human sized targets at 400 meters. We will pretend that its a perfect flat desert the whole length of the border (which it is far from) and double that distance for a lane. 800meters is just about a half mile of coverage. Taking the 2000 mile border into consideration that means we need 4000 guards, as well as uniforms, spotting scopes, coms, weapons and other gear. That's great but now we realize that they cant work 24/7 so with shifts, weekends, attrition, PTO, etc we are now at 18000 guards. Government employees so they will have a decent pay and super benefits as well as a pension.
These guards cant really be expected to sit in the dirt all day so we build them 4000 elevated huts, that shouldn't cost too much. Now we realize there is no way to get the guards to the huts. There are some roads but they are all unimproved. The best way to get 4000 people changed out every 8 hours is buses, 60 at a time. We now need a fleet of buses with drivers and paved roads for them to drive on. Buses and roads require maintenance.... I'll stop there.
Just write a check, we still have plenty of them! After all we spent our way out of trouble with obama remember?
A fence. A fence that I don't want because it's ineffective. A fence I have to have because of building codes. A waste of money fence.
How many would it take? As many as needed. The cost is worth it. I'm guessing it would cost less than 15 million illegals do and it would be more effective than a wall.

Never heard of a fence being required for residential property

Required for an in-ground pool. Im assuming that's why he has one.

I hear a lot of people say walls are ineffective and a waste. Anyone care to elaborate? Walls have been purpose-built by humans for many thousands of years, why only now are they ineffective?
so, let me see if I understand this.
Fences don't work. Even though I've NEVER had a person in my dog's pen who wasn't supposed to be there.
Walls don't work, yet I've never had someone just waltz into my house uninvited.
And, instead of spending a couple thousand dollars on a fence (that does work, BTW), I'm supposed to spend $1000/wk per person to have someone stand on my property line and tell people they aren't allowed to enter, and who can do exactly WHAT if they refuse to heed? "Stop, or I'll say stop again!"????
this has to be one of the stupidest opinions I've read on this forum in a long time, and that includes spittle boy.
So what is it, exactly, about walls and fences that makes them useless? And, if they are so useless, why are they constantly being used, even by people who claim they don't work?

Seem to have worked pretty well in DC a few weeks ago.
I have an in-ground pool. Required so if criminals trespass on my property they don't die. I say fuck em'. If you trespass and fall in my pool i could give less than a shit if you drown.
Yes, I have no trespassing signs posted according to law. So if you don't follow it you are a criminal.
Fail to see where criminals give a fuck..aka Illegal Immigrants

The idea behind the in-ground fencing is for kids, not criminals. 3 yr olds can't read your no trespassing signs.
Which is why we should man up the border.
Why are random 3 year olds wandering around unsupervised? That's on the parents if they wander off, not me.
