Obama built more walls than Trump, arrested more people at the border,, Democrats all supported it, etc. but you list border security as a Trump achievement. Everything he did from putting babies in cages to building walls to stopping and arresting immigrants Democrats have done better. Yet- everything is soo terrible right after him and one of poor-medicore Trump's greatest achievements is his wall building? Meh, I never claimed it was a Trump win. Maybe you're confusing me with someone else? I'm defending the purpose of the Wall, not that it was a success. Border was hash under Trump. Especially in the last year. But it's at the next level now. Entire STATES worth of people are trying... or actually crossing... the border every year. Estimates are around 200,000 per month now. That would be about 2.4 million over the year, 2022. Here's what I posted... On 1/20/2021 at 11:38 PM, DieChecker said: Best Achievements? Our own personal choices, right? 1. Getting three Conservatives onto the SCOTUS. 2. Super low unemployment, and good stock market. 3. No new endless war. 4. Tax cut to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the border is a river and there are laws about how close you can build near a river, which means building a wall takes private property away from their owners (it happened in Texas because a politician had an 8 mile long wall built and his buddies were the contractors that were paid to build it). I am trying to defend common sense. Well you're right. There's no need to "Wall" the river. If I remember right, along most of the border river there's either a cliff, or no where to land a boat. Swimming is possible, but unlikely to go into hundreds of thousands crossing that way. The governments been taking property for... forever. I can't believe people living at the border would be surprised by the FedGov doing so. Like was said this has been going on since even before 2010. Quote I agree, I want hysterical hypocritical actions by both political parties to end. I would like to see those two parties put in their rightful place and removed from the control of our elections as well as how our representatives vote. They are supposed to represent us, but instead they represent who ever owns the party leaders. Pelosi should have retired 10 years ago, we need term limits. Too many bad things have happened because of people like Pelosi, Montoya, McConnel and any other crusty skeletor that is still in office after 20+ years (some 30+). I'd agree, term limits. But these clowns won't vote such limits onto themselves, so it's going to be hard to get put into law. Maybe Constitutional conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Constitutional conventions. The only way we are going to get term limits is to elect independents that aren't owned by the party and agree that congress and the senate need a huge house cleaning. The only way we are going to get independents elected is to change things at the state level like Maine, Alasa and 2 other states had done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
