Oooooh, Karma, it's gonna strike the Democrats hard in the form of a red wave come this Tuesday. By the way, the logic leading up to the content of this post is the result of some kind of wild eyed fantasy.
You left out Ebola, that was supposed to wipe out Millions of us last Fall of 2014. Wheww, they managed to save Millions of us while losing four. Meanwhile, all these diseases are rampaging thru the U.S. and Mexico killing people by the tens of thousands. But don't worry, Trump's got a solution. Now, if he'll just reveal it to us.
Funny how they're concerned about a caravan that contains diseases, yet if it wasn't for a certain caravan that arrived on the shores of the North American Continent, and the diseases they carried, the Natives there wouldn't have been wiped out. but i know that's just liberal spin and that the Natives were just happy as clams to welcome the settlers.
Funny? Man that’s a twisted sense of humor you have. But thanks for proving there’s ample precedent to be concerned about the threat to innocent Americans, especially our children and seniors.
Baby steps. $145M Texas border wall project awarded, Customs and Border Protection says By Elizabeth Zwirz | Fox News The U.S. border wall with Mexico is seen from the United States in Nogales, Arizona back in mid-September. (Reuters/File) A $145 million construction project was awarded Wednesday to build roughly six miles of border wall in Texas, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on Friday. The agency, in conjunction with the Army Corps of Engineers, gave the multimillion-dollar job in the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector to SLSCO, CBP said in a news release. Work on the project, also known by CBP as RGV-03, is expected to kick off in February, the agency said. Among the anticipated work is the building and set up “of tactical infrastructure,” which includes “a reinforced concrete levee wall to the height of the existing levee, 18 feet tall steel bollards installed on top of the concrete wall, and vegetation removal along a 150 foot enforcement zone throughout the approximately six miles of levee wall system,” the news release said. The area will also be equipped with detection technology and video surveillance, the agency said. The Rio Grande Valley Sector has “high illegal cross border activity,” according to CBP. “Once constructed, this levee wall system will serve as a persistent impediment to transnational criminal organizations, while still allowing river access for property owners, other federal/state/local officials, local emergency responders, and USBP,” the agency said. “CBP continues to implement President Trump’s Executive Order 13767 -- also known as Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements -- and continues to take steps to expeditiously plan, design, and construct a physical wall using appropriate materials and technology to most effectively achieve complete operational control of the southern border,” the agency continued. The announcement from the CBP comes as a caravan of Central American migrants makes its way toward the U.S.-Mexico border, and as Trump has unveiled plans to deploy troops at the southern border. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Only $19 Billion $855 Million to go, all of it paid by Mexico. Promises made, promises kept. Meanwhile, two years of talk on upgrading infrastructure has resulted in more endless talk of upgrading infrastructure. Promises made, promises kept.
That's funny. The AP has it pegged at 4,000. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...fe01fcdc3a6_story.html?utm_term=.eb145932ddb1 USA Today has it pegged at 5.000 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-us-mexico-border-military-troops/1885039002/ I suppose Trump has it at Millions. I almost forgot, do you have a credible link to your figure of over 12,000?
By The Numbers: Understanding The Border Crisis Being Driven By Congressional Democrat Backed Loopholes Immigration Issued on: October 23, 2018 As a result of Democrat-supported loopholes in our federal laws, most illegal immigrant families and minors from Central America who arrive unlawfully at the border cannot be detained together or removed together, only released. President Donald J. Trump ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SURGE: The latest immigration figures show a surge of alien family units and unaccompanied minors from Central America continue to arrive here illegally every day. Recently released figures on Southwest border apprehensions and inadmissibles, or those denied admission at a port of entry, show the dire state of the crisis at our border. We have seen a record-shattering surge in the arrival of family units, with more than 161,000 family unit apprehensions and inadmissibles in fiscal year (FY) 2018. This historic surge was 42 percent higher than any previous year on record. In the last three months, family unit apprehensions made up the highest percentage of total apprehensions in history. Tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors continue to stream across our borders. Unaccompanied minor apprehensions and inadmissibles totaled 58,660 in FY 2018, an increase of nearly 10,000, or approximately 20 percent, compared to FY 2017. TODAY’S DANGEROUS BORDER CRISIS: Catch-and-release loopholes that hinder the detention and removal of many illegal aliens have incentivized a shift in illegal immigration. Responding to catch-and-release loopholes, illegal immigration has shifted from primarily single adults from Mexico to family units and unaccompanied minors from Central America. 98 percent of aliens apprehended by Border Patrol in FY 2000 were from Mexico, but today more than half are from Central America. These loopholes drive more and more illegal immigration from populations that the Government cannot quickly return to their home country. Of the family unit aliens from non-contiguous countries who arrived in FY 2017, only around 1.4 percent have been repatriated as of June 30, 2018. Smugglers and traffickers exploit these loopholes to prey on families and children who make the life-threatening journey north to our border. More than two-thirds of those making the journey north become victims of violence along the way, according to a report by Doctors Without Borders. Nearly one-third of women are sexually assaulted along the journey according to that same report. LOOPHOLES DRIVING THE PROBLEM: Congressional Democrats back the loopholes that created this crisis and have been unwilling to fix it. Democrats in Congress continue to support outrageous catch-and-release loopholes that drive the crisis at our border and even want to expand these loopholes. Every Senate Democrat has backed a proposed bill that would effectively grant amnesty to any illegal alien within 100 miles of the border if they are accompanied by a minor. The surge in family unit and unaccompanied minor immigration has taken up vital resources. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities are at 98 percent capacity. Shelters for unaccompanied alien minors are operating at 88 percent capacity. Yet, Democrats seem intent on obstructing efforts to close catch-and-release loopholes and fully fund border security. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...iven-congressional-democrat-backed-loopholes/
Border Wall Construction Project to Begin in Texas Release Date: November 2, 2018 WASHINGTON – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), has awarded a contract to construct approximately six miles of levee wall system in the U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector, which was funded in CBP’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 appropriation. The contract for this project, referred to by CBP as RGV-03, awarded on October 31, 2018 to Slsco Ltd in the amount of $145 Million for construction. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2019. The RGV-03 project includes the construction and installation of tactical infrastructure including a reinforced concrete levee wall to the height of the existing levee, 18 feet tall steel bollards installed on top of the concrete wall, and vegetation removal along a 150 foot enforcement zone throughout the approximately six miles of levee wall system. The enforcement zone will also include detection technology, lighting, video surveillance, and an all-weather patrol road parallel to the levee wall. This project lies within the McAllen Station area of responsibility in Hidalgo County, Texas. The RGV Sector remains an area of high illegal cross border activity. In FY 2017, USBP apprehended over 137,000 illegal aliens, and seized approximately 260,000 pounds of marijuana and approximately 1,192 pounds of cocaine in the RGV Sector. Once constructed, this levee wall system will serve as a persistent impediment to transnational criminal organizations, while still allowing river access for property owners, other federal/state/local officials, local emergency responders, and USBP. CBP continues to implement President Trump’s Executive Order 13767 - also known as Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements – and continues to take steps to expeditiously plan, design, and construct a physical wall using appropriate materials and technology to most effectively achieve complete operational control of the southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between official ports of entry. CBP is charged with securing the borders of the United States while enforcing hundreds of laws and facilitating lawful trade and travel.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to fast-track DACA cases, in bid to bypass Ninth Circuit By Bill Mears | Fox News In an apparent bid to bypass the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and seek an immediate resolution to its effort to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the Trump administration on Monday made the unusual decision to ask the Supreme Court to take over three cases concerning pending lawsuits that seek to preserve DACA. A three-judge panel at the San Francisco-based federal appellate court heard arguments in May on whether the administration could end DACA, and the federal government had warned it would ask for high-court intervention if the appeals court did not decide by last Wednesday. DACA, which was created after President Barack Obama signed an Executive Branch memorandum, gives some illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children the opportunity to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for a work permit. FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP WHITE HOUSE TO RESTART DACA The Trump administration last year announced its plan to phase out the program, but federal courts have ruled variously that the phase-out could not apply retroactively and that the program should be restarted. The White House fiercely condemned those court decisions, which were premised on the idea that the Executive Branch cannot arbitrarily phase out a right that individuals have come to rely on, simply by arguing that the right was established illegally without Congressional approval. (DACA proponents have also argued that Trump's planned termination of the program violates federal law requiring adequate notice-and-comment periods before certain federal rules are changed, as well as other constitutional equal protection and due process guarantees.) TRUMP TRIES TO CLOSE THE DEAL FOR GOP IN BATTLEGROUND STATES The Justice Department wants the justices to use their authority to decide the matter without waiting for lower courts to rule. It is rare the high court grants such a so-called fast-track petition before all the lower courts have weighed in on the merits. "The last administration started DACA without a mandate or even an authorization from Congress or the courts; this administration can therefore end DACA at any time,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement Monday night. He added: "That is what we have done, and it was the lawful thing to do. Immigration law in this country—and the status of DACA recipients in particular—ultimately must be settled by our representatives in Congress. The Department of Justice should not have been forced to make this filing today—the Ninth Circuit should have acted expeditiously, just as the Supreme Court expected them to do—but we will not hesitate to defend the Constitutional system of checks and balances vigorously and resolutely." Earlier this year, the Trump administration similarly attempted to jump the line and appeal to the Supreme Court after another lower court ordered that DACA resume. “It is assumed that the Court of Appeals will proceed expeditiously to decide this case,” the Supreme Court ruled in rejecting the White House's request in February. DHS v UC Petition by Fox News on Scribd There was no initial timetable from the justices on when they would decide whether to grant the Trump administration's latest petition. The cases are DHS v. Regents of the University of California (18-587) (CA9); Trump v. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (18-588) (CADC); and Nielsen v. Vidal (18-589) (CA2). The Trump administration is seeking to convince the Supreme Court to consolodate those cases because they make the same substantive objections to the planned DACA recession, and toss them all out on the merits.

Perhaps you could include a credible link to your assertion. Right now all we've got is a cut and paste.
I thought I already commented on this. $155 Million down and $19 Billion and $855 Million to go. That's pretty close to halfway, isn't it?
