what did he build, 47 miles of new barrier was built on a 1,954 border. you are suck a moron

He replaced a bunch of non functional old fencing with new functional high tech fencing. Much of the border is in the mountains and or the desert and or not near towns so it needs no fencing because illegal crossing isn't a problem. Trump said he didn't anticipate building a wall in the mountains and in the desert during a town hall when he was a candidate.

You are bass-ackwards.

When Trump shows up, he gets stuff done.

When Dems show up it is to APPEAR AS IF they are getting stuff done.

That's part of your problem, boy.

YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR ASS FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND.

You fail to demand better information from the dishonest media because you are so lacking in knowledge and imagination. They didn't tell you how easily it will be to pay for the wall because they want to keep you on their leash.

Bark and show us what an obedient pet you are.

Set up a toll booth at every border crossing and the Mexicans will gladly pay for the wall, Fum Duck.

The Golden Gate Bridge

When the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937, the toll was 50 cents per car (equivalent to $9 in 2020), collected in each direction. In 1950 it was reduced to 40 cents each way ($4.3 in 2020), then lowered to 25 cents in 1955 ($2.42 in 2020). In 1968, the bridge was converted to only collect tolls from southbound traffic, with the toll amount reset back to 50 cents ($3.72 in 2020).[81]

The last of the construction bonds were retired in 1971, with $35 million (equivalent to $224M in 2020) in principal and nearly $39 million ($249M in 2020) in interest raised entirely from bridge tolls.[64] Tolls continued to be collected and subsequently incrementally raised; by 1991, the toll was $3.00 (equivalent to $5.7 in 2020).[81]

The bridge began accepting tolls via the FasTrak electronic toll collection system in 2002, with $4 tolls for FasTrak users and $5 for those paying cash (equivalent to $5.76 and $7.19 respectively in 2020).[81] In November 2006, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District recommended a corporate sponsorship program for the bridge to address its operating deficit, projected at $80 million over five years. The District promised that the proposal, which it called a "partnership program", would not include changing the name of the bridge or placing advertising on the bridge itself. In October 2007, the Board unanimously voted to discontinue the proposal and seek additional revenue through other means, most likely a toll increase.[82][83] The District later increased the toll amounts in 2008 to $5 for FasTrak users and $6 to those paying cash (equivalent to $6.01 and $7.21 respectively in 2020).[81]

In an effort to save $19.2 million over the following 10 years, the Golden Gate District voted in January 2011 to eliminate all toll takers by 2012 and use only open road tolling.[84] Subsequently, this was delayed and toll taker elimination occurred in March 2013. The cost savings have been revised to $19 million over an eight-year period. In addition to FasTrak, the Golden Gate District implemented the use of license plate tolling (branded as "Pay-by-Plate"), and also a one-time payment system for drivers to pay before or after their trip on the bridge. Twenty-eight positions were eliminated as part of this plan.[85]

On April 7, 2014, the toll for users of FasTrak was increased from $5 to $6 (equivalent to $6.56 in 2020), while the toll for drivers using either the license plate tolling or the one time payment system was raised from $6 to $7 (equivalent to $7.65 in 2020). Bicycle, pedestrian, and northbound motor vehicle traffic remain toll free. For vehicles with more than two axles, the toll rate was $7 per axle for those using license plate tolling or the one time payment system, and $6 per axle for FasTrak users. During peak traffic hours, carpool vehicles carrying two or more people and motorcycles paid a discounted toll of $4 (equivalent to $4.37 in 2020); drivers must have had Fastrak to take advantage of this carpool rate.[85] The Golden Gate Transportation District then planned to increase the tolls by 25 cents in July 2015, and then by another 25 cents each of the next three years.[86]

Why all the interest in Harris? While your gawd campaigned on a wall along the Mexican border, it was over a year before he actually went to the border as President. But hey, we "need" to see you worship your lying, cowardly, thief, for a spell:

I suppose we should be SOMEWHAT appreciative of the media for leaving you so ill-informed, misinformed and uninformed.

And we should look at how simple minded you are with pity or maybe an undeserved compassion.

Visiting the border to you is what this is all about.

You silly old fuchead.

There's no fool like an "_____ ___________".

Let's see if you are smart enough to fill in the blanks to finish the adage which applies to YOU.

Your problem is that you need to rejoin reality Trump never changed the numbers of illegals in this country one iota so we know that the fact that you know that and still push Trump just means you don't give a rat's ass about illegal immigrants

You ever think about why the first thing you do with a battlefield wound is to stop the bleeding?

Trump stopped the bleeding to the point where the border problem just magically disappeared.

Biden re-opened the bleeding wound.

And Kamala knows she will get attacked for Biden's bad judgment which she will have to defend and thus doom her chances at ever winning another election.

That is one reason she is loathe to go.

That and because she's a champagne and caviar kind of girl.

Willie has a taste for White and almost White women.

His wheel chair with his seditious and crippled hide in it deserve to banished over the border. Also tRump was a complete failure when it comes to his wall of atrocities to which what was built at 47 miles of it continues to fall apart. " Trump’s border wall has been one of the most useless and expensive infrastructure projects in American history. But it succeeded beyond expectations as a symbol that unites and mobilizes Trump supporters — which is why he used it as a distraction and a showcase for defiance the day before the House impeached him for the second time.

Less than a week after his followers stormed the nation’s Capitol in a siege that led to five dead, Trump was anything but remorseful in a speech to border security agents near the small town of Alamo in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. Hedismissed efforts to remove him from office before his term ends next Wednesday and suggested — absurdly — that President-elect Joe Biden could be the one removed.


Familiar lies about a MAGA symbol
Trump spent most of his speech touting the wall, his signature act in office. In a flurry of last-minute construction, the Department of Homeland Security announced the completion of 450 miles of the emblematic barrier. However, Customs and Border Protection reports that only 47 miles of that are new primary wall where no barrier had existed. That’s a scant accomplishment for $15 billion of taxpayer money.

Reports have shown enormous cost overruns and supplemental contracts to construction firms without competitive bidding, triggering a Government Accountability Office investigation with findings due early this year. This follows a 2018 GAO report that anticipated the waste and found that the project did not follow protocols and had no clear measure of effectiveness. Scores of legal challenges have been filed related to appropriation of private land and violation of environmental laws.

The DHS inspector general also found that the agency did not assess costs and benefits of the project or follow other procedures.

Trump, however, considers the wall a triumph and signed his name on a plaque affixed to the metal strips before rattling off a familiar list of lies and misleading statistics. He took credit for the 2020 drop in border apprehensions without mentioning that overall crossings fell by half under pandemic lockdowns. He heralded statistics on seizures of illicit drugs, failing to point out that 90% of those take place at ports of entry that have nothing to do with the wall.

Trump's lies:Trump's 5-year campaign of lies led to the Capitol attack. And we just let it happen.

He lauded his offensive against what he called “asylum fraud,” despite the fact that his government closed asylum on the U.S-Mexico border in violation of international law, rather than assess and hear cases. He also repeated unsubstantiated claims that migrants live off U.S. welfare and that Middle East terrorists come over the southern border — an assertion that his own counterterrorist officials have repeatedly debunked.

Veiled warnings are danger signs
The litany was a rehash of Trump's greatest hits, but since the attempt to subvert the legal transfer of power, there were dangerous signs embedded in the braggadocio. Trump stated, “Removing any of these measures would hamstring our workers, endanger our country and cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars a year” — knowing that the president-elect has called for the removal of many of these unilateral measures. Trump further warned, “We can’t let the next administration even think about taking it (the wall) down.”

Boot Trump now:Trump doesn't deserve post-presidential benefits. Remove him and ensure he won't get them.

Among hardcore Trump supporters who consider the wall a pillar of the MAGA agenda, these veiled warnings could be interpreted as further reason to block a peaceful transfer of power. Given Biden’s promise to immediately halt construction on the wall, Trump’s statements to Border Patrol agents could also incite disobedience. Most Americans oppose the wall, but Border Patrol union leaders support it and claim that a partial survey shows union members do, too.

Mobilization in defense of the wall would be a disaster. Trump’s wall has been an ineffective farce, designed to foment hate disguised as security. It has already cost the nation far too much — in resources, division and human lives. The country faces a health security threat that requires prioritizing resources to save lives. An immediate halt to the corruption, waste and deception of the border wall is a welcome and necessary step to a safer nation. "

AMAZING Donald Trump Biography Video Played at the RNC (7-21-16)


He understands what illegal immigration is doing and what's it's doing is bad. Very, very bad.

You don't.

You aren't half as smart as Trump.

Trump LOVES America.

And he was willing to sacrifice for US, the AMERICAN PEOPLE, to make our country great again.

And you want America to remain awful and to make it worse.

You want America to fail.

Then you want to conquer America and steal our Constitutionally protected rights.

You will fail.

Trump will succeed.

How dumb. There are a million border crossings every day. There is a half-trillion in commerce passing through those openings. every year. What you propose would make an enormous backup and be impossible to do. You would face the wrath of companies. You would piss off corporations and businesses of all sizes.
