ILL IMM PENTAGON TO BUILD 57 MILES OF NEW BORDER WALL?

The Greek philosopher Plato, which is really recycled Socrates, said you need to "define your terms." In the case of the "border wall," the level of confusion is vast. For example, while this article claims the Pentagon is going to build 57 miles of border wall, this isn't accurate. I don't consider an 18 foot high fence to be a border wall. It may be better than nothing, but the illegals will just tear it down.

At any rate, this is the first credible story I have seen indicating Trump or the DOD are actually taking direction action. This 57 miles is double the 26 miles of so called border wall built the last two years. Of course that 26 miles was just replacing an existing, decayed fence.

Now, if we are serious about dealing with the hordes of filthy, disease ridden hordes pouring over our southern border we will have to build an actual wall like Hungary has. Hungary's wall has reduced illegal immigration, Muslim terrorists mostly, by 99 percent.

The link for this new "borderwall/borderfence is here. Oh wait, it is now being called "pedestrian fencing." Sheesh: BUILD THE #%%%%%% WALL.

Pentagon authorizes up to $1B to start 57 miles of border wall construction

The Pentagon notified Congress late Monday that it authorized the transfer of up to $1 billion to erect 57 miles of "pedestrian fencing" along the U.S.-Mexico border in direct support of President Trump's national emergency declaration from last month.

The fencing, which will be 18 feet high, is to be erected in the Yuma and El Paso sectors, the statement read. The Pentagon's announcement was notable. A reporter from the New York Times tweeted that it is the first time the funds will be transferred under section 284 for the border wall.

Section 284 allows the Pentagon to "construct roads and fences and to install lighting to block drug-smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States in support of counter-narcotic activities of Federal law enforcement agencies," the statement read.

I know that I noticed that too, in the news. Fence and wall: two different things.

The freebies need to be cut off to illegal people, all of them. Nip it at the root cause, which has been allowed for decades, way too long.

I honestly do not know why the ENTIRE border is not protected.

I do not know why we do catch and release.

I do not know why e-verify is not being effective.

I do not no why illegals get ANY welfare benefits meant for American citizens.

It is time to make a stand, draw a line in the sand. America first.

I've poked around looking for some definitive reference on existing border barrier, to no avail.

We have a conglomeration of everything from 4' chain-link to 30' concrete wall.

There are a few places saying that some of the most critical area is 580ish miles in Texas. That's about 25% of the whole border.

Build an 18 foot tall wall and it would not hurt to put in turrets with machine guns
