A Wall would have stopped it; How? In the last week, Trump was told "No" on his wall funding. Yes, he did get1.4 billion for a fencing project along the border after she "swore" not a dollar for a wall. But they compromised. Trump himself, said it wasn't a National emergency within three minutes of announcing it. He said it just wasn't being funded fast enough for him, and he couldn't wait. Then he went on a weekend golf excursion in Fla.
So let's review this past week. Trump says it will stop drugs, murders and gang-bangers. Two drug seizures this week worked against "Trump made facts" Both at a point of entries, not the Mexico border. One the largest Meth bust in American History. The other the largest Coke seizure in 35 years. Both in containers shipped from other Countries to America. A wall would not have stopped either. However, taking money from DEA funds would have possibly allowed these drugs to hit the US streets. Neither were sent from Mexico.
"A wall would stop and reduce murders in the US". Aurora Illinois 5 dead, many wounded by and American Citizen angered for his termination. A man the system failed to take his gun AFTER learning he was a felon. 5 Police officer shot. A wall would not have stopped a single bullet, a single death. The man was neither an "illegal alien" nor Mexican nor a gang banger. Tighter gun laws, faster action by state police in notifying local police, better background checks may have prevented it though. A wall would not have stopped anything.
"A wall would stop illegals from getting into our country!" Not true. Border security itself showed dozens of illegals using a 13 ft (ca. 4 m) ladder to climb over a 12-foot fence section. Bigger walls, bigger ladders. A wall failed to stop one singe entry.
Crypts, Bloods, Hells Angels are all American bred gangs who are powerful and spread across all 50 states. They have many off springs from their bases. Millions belong to them, but Trump continues to yammer about MS13. A group 1/1000 the size of these three and their subgroups. A wall wouldn't even slow these guys down.
There are more murders in Washington, DC yearly, than along the entire border in the last ten years. Should we build a wall around DC?
The bottom line is a "wall" would not have made one damn bit of difference in any of these. People, like the Presidents wife, overstay Visas' regularly AFTER coming in from Canada and Europe and other Countries at airport and off ships, NOT at the Mexican Border. These are the real "Illegal immigrants". They're White, Black, Chinese, Ukrainian, and many other nationalities. A wall would prevent none from entering or over staying, as with Melania.
I have recently been reviewing records for illegal "sex trafficking" along the border. Trump continues to proclaim facts that just don't exist. Most end up going to Saudi Arabia and other so called "Trump Friendly" countries. A wall would not have stopped any. Many are shipped by boat or plane. Very, very few have ever crossed a desert. Many are brought here and sold to Americans whom many, Trump has called "friends". A wall won't stop any of those.
So a wall is neither important, needed or useful. It won't stop murders, drug trafficking or gang- bangers. It won’t stop illegal immigration or sex trafficking or even slow any of them down. So what purpose DOES a wall actually prevent? Well, it prevents poor Hispanic families from coming here to seek asylum. It allows a humanitarian crisis to grow. It half fulfills a Campaign promise. It wastes taxpayers money and take it from areas it needs to be used. It gives Trump an excuse to distract his zombies with. It gives FOX news another reason to distract from real reporting of Trumps failures at guns, drugs, the economy and his trade
wars. Otherwise, it serves no ones purpose, except Donald s ego.
It helps add trillions to our ballooned national deficit. It keeps us In and them OUT.
It goes completely AGAINST the words that have discerned our Country for two hundred years.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
It says " The lights out, the lamp is dead. Go away, your not welcome, ever!"
That isn't my America, nor our ancestors. It shouldn't be ours either.
What does a Wall do? It destroys America, not protect it.
