Okay cut the crap!
The term is a slogan! A slogan to get the bobble headed morons to take notice….it means little.
We Americans have been bombarded with this bullsh*t for a year now. Time for the d/bags to define just what is the official terminology.
To some it is machine guns in high towers…..or minefields…..of drone missions…..or listening post….my point is NO politician has actually defined what it is other than a wall…..and no one is quiet sure what this person mean by “border security”?
First of all….is there some sort of true definition for border security?
THe Border Patrol definition……
CBP’s top priority is to keep terrorists and their weapons from entering the U.S. while welcoming all legitimate travelers and commerce. CBP officers and agents enforce all applicable U.S. laws, including against illegal immigration, narcotics smuggling and illegal importation. CBP deploys highly trained law enforcement personnel who apprehend more than 1,000 individuals each day for suspected violations of U.S. laws.

Protecting the U.S. from the unauthorized entry of migrants often becomes the default criterion for establishing border security. Counting illegal crossings is inherently difficult, but we do know that unauthorized crossings are at their lowest point in 40 years, and the Pew Hispanic Center believes there are now as many Mexicans leaving the U.S. as entering. Studies have also dispelled the myth that immigration and crime are linked; in fact, the presence of a large immigrant population appears to actually help make a city safer.

All the things this “willfully ignorant” president does seem to realize that all the the thugs he worries about….the drugs, the thugs, “terrorists…..are coming in our country through normal entry points….
Yet he thumps his chest like a crazed primate about some token to his presidency….a lousy short ass wall.
When you have such vast borders to both north and south, it has to be realised that effective control is impossible. Tighter controls on well-known ‘pinch-points’ will only encourage criminals (and illegal immigrants) to seek out more remote and dangerous routes. Exactly what is happening here in Europe, with the mass migration from Africa and the Middle East.
Best wishes, Pete.
Like I said…a slogan….and Trump wants a puny wall that will nothing but a monument to his policies….chuq
