Never ever give up. Don't give up. Don't allow it to happen. If there's a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go over it, go around it. But get to the other side of that wall.

Trump represents Americans, so the advice was for Americans.

Mexicans have their own country and their own president.

Yep..

These TDS threads just get more entertaining!

This is simple. Just think of it s a random person standing in front of your door every day demanding services. How many of you would let them in and give them what they need?
Yeah didn't think so. So why all the virtue signaling when it comes to the exact same situation with your country and the border? Must be brainwashing, otherwise simple logical deduction would lead to the conclusion that we cannot let everyone in and thus need effective deterrents like a lock on your place and the police.

This was a funny thread, yet the Trump defense force is out in force taking it seriously. Ask yourself who has TDS?

That is why we already spend billions on border security including fences in strategic places, CBP, drones, and other technology to detect intrusion and apprehend illegal crossings. CBP experts are asking for more capacity to process asylum seekers as the most urgent needed action.

Further barriers should be discussed but are not an immediate response approach in any way.

Please explain how drones and technology actually physically apprehend illegals crossing the border.

Do these drones and video cameras have hands?

Funny how you're 100% wrong. The existing barriers in CA and Arizona stop over 90% of people from crossing. Are you saying you know more than the border patrol agents on the ground in those areas? Or, is that just more kool-aid you're drinking from CNN?

Do these kind of questions come from ignorance or just trolling?

Drones and other technology "detect intrusion" like I included. They don't apprehend illegals, and neither do walls, but they facilitate the capability of CBP to detect intrusion so they can go there and apprehend the illegals.

Walls & natural barriers slow down crossings, but ultimately technology is used to identify when someone is walking through open land, or cutting the wall, jumping over, or tunneling under.

As usual you're just quoting something out of context and making a straw man argument.

A wall will take years and decades to build, so is not an immediate response to the migrant crisis on our border right now. The requests from border security are pretty clear, more asylum adjudicators needed so that we can process and deny entry quickly instead of allow migrants to enter pending 1~2 years of adjudication backlog, by which time they can disappear in the country. This is happening right at legal entry points, a wall now or later, does not prevent us from taking these asylum seekers into the country.

If the CBP isn't right there, they just escape into the desert.... duh... doesn't matter what the technology detects if they can't be immediately apprehended, does it?

Or, make them look for a different area to cross?

Maybe we're making some headway with you.

Sometimes for the simple minded, I need to bring it down to 1st grade level for them to understand.

and if you've been paying attention to Trump's statement (which you haven't), the wall funding is only part of what he's requesting. He's asked to have funding for ALL of that. The issue is Nancy will only give him $1, and none of what he asked for of the $5 billion. Please keep up.

Before the votes Speaker Nancy Pelosi reiterated that Democrats will not agree to a border wall but joked that she’d give Trump $1 for it.

“A dollar?” the California Democrat said when asked if there was any situation in which she’d even accept $1 for the wall. “A dollar. One dollar, yeah, one dollar.”

Trump has said he will not sign legislation that does not include border wall funding, thus creating the ongoing impasse that has led to a 13-day partial government shutdown.

Do see the operative word "include" in his statement? That means the wall is only part of what he's asked for. Get it yet?

Exactly, and he's not going to get the wall portion. Boo hoo.

Huh, this might actually be a good idea.

Ok, here's a compromise...do both!

And then get arrested and thrown in jail.
