And it was hundreds of years ago. Are you assuming there have been no technological advances since then, which would make it quicker to build it today?

The way we built things back then, and the way we build things today, are different. Sorry if that's going too fast for you.

Fine, let's stay on topic.

You said this:

"Only geographically challenged People would assume you could open and close a 2000 mile border"

We could seal that border up in a few years at most, if not within 2 years. It's a piece of cake, it's not even hard. Of course we'd still need people and resources there, but to say it can't be done is laughable. Most liberals don't even try to make the argument that we can't do it, they just say walls, like everything else they don't like, is racist.

Swimming. Swimming is racist, did you know that? That's what Fettterman's wife said.

And Fatty Abrams said 107 GA sheriffs "want to be able to take black people off the streets". Once the future star of the party, she's soon to be the left's Sarah Palin, soon to have her own show on MSNBC where you can feel the IQ points getting sucked out of your brain as you watch. Another racist lunatic getting kicked to the curb which is left-wing cable news. Al Sharpton, Joy Reid, what's-her-name-Cross, and soon Abrams will give MSNBC a quartet of hosts who blame everything on whitey.

Jim its the reason why you want to build a wall thats Dumb .. its a simplitions approach to a bigger problem . and it wont solve anything

Congress needs to fix what's broken .... And if you want less migrant fix south and central America .. Because the United states F up decades ago and now we are feeling the affects of those mistakes


The forces driving ordinary people to leave their homes and put their lives at risk crossing deserts with smugglers to get to the US border are deeply rooted in Central America’s history of inequality and violence, in which the US has long played a defining role.

You shut your front door and lock it, every single night. The wall serves the same exact purpose.

Again, most of america agrees with me, and disagrees with you, on this issue. I have opinions that are in the minority, this isn't one of them.

We don't have the ability to "fix" the planet. It's a very simple proposition however, to secure our border, which accomplishes the same thing.

Drug dealers aren't using the southern border because of what's happening somewhere else. They use teh southern border because it's easy to cross.

There are bad people out there, who we should try to keep out. Again, same reason why you close and lock your front door at night...

And vandalize car dealerships, because nothing says "down with fascism" quite like destroying private property of people with whom you disagree.

I can't help but notice something you shed light on...they will do ANYTHING to avoid talking about polls.

I should take out a life insurance policy in the name of "democracy" for 1 billion dollars.

Your hero, reknowned expert in wall building (along with everything) couldn’t build his wall in 4 years.
Yet you’re claiming you could do it in two, congratulations maybe you and the Swanson heir can get elected and accomplish your dream.

Then it’s off to the fallback position of victim, where you claim that just as many blacks can swim as whites or something because somebody’s wife said something and likely the Swanson heir took it out of context, but you repeated it as your ilk does.
Then off to a little fat shaming, mixed with racism for added effect, because we all know that you too are the least racist person we will ever meet.

"Your hero, reknowned expert in wall building (along with everything) couldn’t build his wall in 4 years."

He's not my hero, and I give him an F on keeping that promise. Unlike you, snowflake, I'm secure enough to be comfortable with the fact that people I support won't EVER be flawless. You are too delicate to concede that any democrat has veer had a flaw.

"you claim that just as many blacks can swim as whites"

Ah, you're still making up quotes I see, because I never said that.

There are some sports that are disproportionately white, some are disproportionately black. It's based on socioeconomics, not race.

Pete, is the 100 meter dash "racist"? Is break dancing racist?

Have fun answering that, big guy...

"Then off to a little fat shaming"

Because you never, ever make fun of republicans. Never.

"mixed with racism for added effect,"

What racism did I add?

Abrams is a big fat clown who, after she gets creamed next week (hopefully taking Warnock down with her) will fit in quite nicely at MSNBC with the other hosts who have a deep loathing for white people, and who get rich blaming white people for everything (because that's unifying!!). There's at least 3 others there already.
