It’s the WALL…..again.
WE have been having this back and forth about a promise that President Trump first made on his 2016 campaign…..a “big, beautiful wall” across our Southern border.
Since he first uttered the slogan there has been a massive amount of ink wasted on the analysis on what he has meant by his assertion.
Most people know what their “party” thinks about the Wall….very little has been written about a total analysis of the issue…..
Maybe this would help….that is if you are truly interested in the issue or you just like the concept….for whatever reason……..
A USA TODAY NETWORK special report examines the impact of Trump’s proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall, exploring every foot of the 2,000-mile boundary.
“Build the Wall.” Three words energized a campaign.
But could it be done? What would it cost? What would it accomplish? Our search for answers became this, a landmark new report, “The Wall.”
The task was massive. We flew the entire border, drove it too. More than 30 reporters and photographers interviewed migrants, farmers, families, tribal members — even a human smuggler. We joined Border Patrol agents on the ground, in a tunnel, at sea. We patrolled with vigilantes, walked the line with ranchers. We scoured government maps, fought for property records.
In this report, you can watch aerial video of every foot of the border, explore every piece of fence, even stand at the border in virtual reality. Still, breakthrough technology would mean nothing if it didn’t help us better understand the issues — and one another.

Personally, I believe that an article like this would have served a greater purpose if it had been publish during the primaries…..
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
We did have a wall… There is nothing good in it, only grief, death, torture. It’s a horrible waste of time and money and efforts…
I could not agree more….so much other issues need attention and a wall is NOT one of them….chuq
I always thought the wall was little more than a metaphor, and was unlikely to ever be built. I will still be surprised if it is, but will take back my comment once it’s standing. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
A slogan…a metaphor…..best descriptions…a waste of time and money….but an easy issue….chuq
