    That was it, I had the translate-poster-names option turned on in my profile.

    Hey stupid Bill Jubran, you pathetic mentally-challenged moron, a wall would mean we don't need 7,000 troops babysitting the border forever because of big-mouthed empty-heads like you.

    We don't need 7000 troops at the border, wall or no wall.

    And the Earth was once encased in ice.

    Neither are relevant in today's world.

    The paychecks that were spent were already being spent in towns in America, and mostly soldiers don't spend money when deployed, they save it or send it home to support their families.

    Also, they were pulled from their regular posts which is enormously costly and causes problems with defense coverage and overall efficiency.

    Bottom line, everyone who opposes Trump's border security plans is wasting billions upon billions of taxpayer money we could/should be using to keep Americans safe, secure, and healthy.

    Bottom line, it was a stupid political stunt to send the military down there, it was a waste of time and money.

    Trumps plan was initially to send troops to the border...so that was plan A if I'm not mistaken...just the other day he threatened to close the borders completely...this plan you admire seems fairly chaotic if you think about it.

    Calling any of these bi-partisan is absurd.



    McCain was never a Republican, he was 100% anti-Trump, he was pure Deep State graft.

    that may as well be, but, that was the only bipartisan bill. the other two were republican sponsored and passsed by republican majority chambers of congress.

    Good call. However, I've got an ex wife who might disagree with you, albeit we divorced nearly half a century ago.

    Yes, you and John "Pork Barrel" McCain are kindred spirits.

    Obviously we do, at the moment, because Fancy Nancy and Shutdown Schumer are determined to waste billions on "obstruction".

    Obstruction gives us nothing to show for billions wasted. A theft of taxpayer's dollars by Dems.

    A wall gives us economic and practical basic border security. A phenomenal bargain providing much-desired security for Americans.

    All Deep State orchestrations to keep anything from actually passing. All were written to be assured defeat, just for show.

    Trump offered far more than any of those weak-kneed bandaids, including citizenship for all DACA illegals, Deep State geriatrics Pelosi and Schumer refused, proving once again they are lying when they claim to seek solutions.

    It's funny how both the House and the Senate were ready to vote yay on it. I guess that was all for show also.
