https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/1950s-tv-show-had-villain-133015356.html Sixty years ago, an episode of a TV show called “Trackdown” told the story of a conman named Trump who warns people that the world will be destroyed and that only he can save them … by building a wall. President Donald Trump it is not, but rather the purely fictional character, “Walter Trump.” And it’s not the “Hollywood elite” or “fake news media” out to expose him but instead Robert Culp as Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman.
That is sooooooooo crazy. Got me thinking about tv and how nobody ever comes up with fresh ideas. My grandma loved Murder She Wrote. I asked her and she remembered an episode just like this old show. I went on YouTube and I think I found it.
PHYSICAL BARRIERS WHERE NECESSARY!!!!! along with modern technology. BIG DIFFERENCE between trump and his around 1800 miles of wall. That was also over 12 years ago and technology has changed quite a bit.
Obama Border Patrol chief to Trump: ‘Stay the course’ on the border wall Then-Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan testifies during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs concerning border protection on Nov. 30, 2016. (Alex Brandon/AP) By Colby Itkowitz Mark Morgan, a career FBI official who served as Border Patrol chief for the last six months of the Obama administration before being removed once President Trump took office, has come out this week in support of a border wall. Morgan, who has kept a low profile since he was forced to step down, first gave an interview to Law and Crime in which he defended the White House’s desire to build a wall along the U.S. southern border. The morning after Trump reiterated in a prime-time address to the nation why wall funding was worth shutting down 25 percent of the federal government, Morgan told The Fix that he’s breaking his silence because, in his view, the wall is an important piece in a group of policy changes needed to secure the border. “I was removed. I’m standing up and saying, ‘I should have disdain for them, but I don’t because they are right,' " Morgan said. “I can stand up and say they are right because it’s the right thing to do for this country. I’m begging the president to stay the course.” Morgan’s comments, which have been widely disseminated by right-leaning media, are sure to embolden Republicans as Trump heads to Capitol Hill to encourage GOP members to stick with him as some reportedly begin to lose patience as the shutdown enters its 19th day. When Morgan was pushed out in January 2017, it was reported that the Border Patrol union, which has been loyal to Trump and his policies since his candidacy, didn’t believe Morgan was making border security a priority and lobbied the administration for him to be replaced. Morgan says now that some “wires got crossed” and that he had supported Trump’s call for a wall since “day one.” But during a congressional hearing, he was asked whether he supported “comprehensive immigration reform,” and he said, “yes.” What he meant, he says now, was a holistic approach to how immigrants come into the country, which would include a barrier, enhanced technology and more personnel, as well as more bed space in holding facilities, more immigration judges and aid to Central American countries to help them improve their quality of life. What he didn’t mean, and what many misinterpreted, was a path to citizenship or permanent status. Echoing many of the GOP’s recent talking points, Morgan said he didn’t understand why Democrats supported a border fence in 2006 but now say a border wall is “immoral.” “The issue is political, so we have to be honest about that,” he said. “The substantive issue is what is important, it doesn’t matter whether it’s called the Secure Fence, Secure Wall, or Secure Barrier Act, the reason it was approved on a bipartisan front is because it was needed. What changed is that at one point it was wanted and needed, and now, because we call it a wall, it’s immoral. Really? That’s what we’re talking about now? The size and width of the barrier is the delineation of what is moral or not?” Morgan said Trump may have called for a wall along the entire border, but no one actually believes it’s needed for the entire 2,000 miles. But there are areas that remain porous, he said, that encourage illegal immigration rather than coming through legal ports of entry. For years, Trump has portrayed the issue at the border as one of national security, but in his address to the nation, he also tried to sell it as a humanitarian crisis. Morgan said he’s most frustrated by how children are brought into the country illegally under perilous conditions because coyotes exploit vulnerabilities at the border. He said agents perform thousands of water rescues when families are left at a body of water that isn’t safe to cross. “I don’t understand why anyone would be against developing a process that stops that from happening,” he said. Democrats have said they are willing to have a debate over border security but not while unrelated agencies are being held for ransom by the shutdown. But Morgan said the shutdown is a necessary last stand for the president to force a solution to a problem that Washington has failed to fully address for decades. “In my heart of hearts, I truly believe we have to resolve this issue: It’s in the best interest of this country,” Morgan said. “We have to stop looking at the issue through our own ideological lens, setting aside our emotions, and it’s not being done.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...er-wall/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.fe131c09d151
Your post is PURE Bullshit. No technology has been developed since then that stops people from crossing a border illegally. And in fact, physical barriers and lethal weapons are the only technologies in existence today that can stop illegal border crossings. I prefer excellent physical barriers as the most humane and certainly most economical, but I absolutely support the use of lethal weapons if that is what the Dems insist on. No country can survive without effective, unwavering security of it's own boundaries.
Show me where it says wall in the definition of security. The only one spouting bullshit is you on a daily basis.
The entire reason for the Dem's shutdown is a deliberate sabotage of the American economy which is booming and will certainly ensure the re-election of President Trump. They want to destroy Trump's successful policies which have restored our jobs, our freedoms and our national security, policies which have taken millions of minorities off Obama's welfare programs and given them good-paying jobs so they can know economic independence rather than government-sponsored slavery. because that's what their 1%er donors demand of them. Dems have already cost Americans over 1 Trillion dollars to date with their shutdown denying a teeny-tiny 5 Billion dollars for border security. Here's a wake-up call on what the mere 16 day shutdown over Obamacare cost Americans: Government shutdowns have the effect of disrupting government services and increasing costs to the government due to lost labor. During the 2013 shutdown, Standard & Poor's, the financial ratings agency, stated that the shutdown had "to date taken $993 billion out of the economy", and "shaved at least 0.6 percent off annualized fourth-quarter 2013 GDP growth".
Done, explained, confirmed... but go ahead and troll as you seem to have no other purpose in any political thread.
He must be a nit wit. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/politics/trump-border-wall-terrorists.html
How on Earth do you get that Mexico is iron clad guaranteed to pay for the wall and not the American Tax Payer? Wait, while I get my popcorn. Oh wait, did you mean that we are going to do a very advantageous deal with Mexico where they will pay us too much thereby allowing us to recoup the money? So, you're saying that the tas payer is now making a loan. Well, why didn't Trump say that in the 70 speeches where he claimed Mexico would pay for the wall? Wait, I need a refill on my popcorn.
