    What did you quote me saying? I have no idea what you're talking about. This started off when you said:
    The sentence, "a wall in desolate wasteland that will kill you all on it's own on the other hand" makes no sense. Can you rephrase?

    Then why did a poll find that more than 90 percent of border patrol officers support it?

    But @Aleksander Ulyanov IS for open borders, as he told me in response to my question! And what is your evidence that "the majority of the GOP also think 5 billion dedicated to a stupid wall is bogus?"

    How exactly would the wall be ineffective? You mean ineffective at stopping ALL people? Do you acknowledge that it would stop SOME?

    Do you have one single SHRED of evidence for this or is this just a wild conspiracy theory that you have bought into? Speaking of Russian, I note that you very conveniently DODGED this:

    Oh you mean how Trump armed the Ukrainian's and has taken other actions against him and been altogether VERY tough on him? Yeah, they're BEST BUDDIES! :roflol:

    Yes I do. Do you have to DODGE? It seems that way. Just tell me ONE SINGLE racist thing that Trump has said during his presidency, other than saying that some Mexican's are rapists. (which isn't actually racist.)

    Must you herniate the point? Drill a hole in the wood first. Try that with a 24" thick concrete slab.

    One ? We can start with birtherism for racism. Strange too, you’re already diverting by defending one of his biggest bigotry of ethnicity lines. Congratulations. We can add bigotry to the list. Trump has managed to bring the David Dukes out of the closet. Racist think Trump is a racist
    and bigots think trump is a bigot. His rallies and defenders are filled with them. Defending Trump’s bigoted and racist acts is not a good strategy imo.

    Not really, which is about the same as the RW has for all the "Deep State" nonsense they like to go on about. You have your Boogeyman and I'll have mine.

    By GOP, I’m referring to Congress. They have not passed any bills funding his vacillating definition of a wall when they were in power.
    Now, if you want to defend the idea that MOST of republicans in general defend his wall because they are too ignorant of the facts, be my guest. I stand corrected.

    They don’t. They support statigically placed fencing and repairs. Trump will vacillate in his definition of a wall so much, he can get a 10 year old to support his beaded curtains too. That’s how he gets his 90%. Trump still has 2000 miles of concrete wall that Mexico will pay for in his head regardless of what anyone thinks...

    Defending racism is a form of racism.

    No, you gained 'hate' by joining the party of Trump. I am a Republican, support Republican values and do not support Trump,
    who is lacking in conscience, empathy, and moral fiber. He is the most unqualified, obnoxious, divisive president that our country has ever had. His ideas are simplistic and without thought or research. He doesn't know what he doesn't know
    and has brought in unethical people like himself into his inner circle as advisors.

    The problem, as I see it, is that welfare children live under the influence of welfare parents and may grow up with that welfare mentality

    Sure it'll stop some...those in wheelchairs, maybe some blind people and those afraid of heights and tunnels. So sure, maybe as many as 20 or 30 every year.

    You are free to take pride in the white supremacist using an automobile as his weapon in his deadly attack on Americans peacefully opposing racism, however this thread concerns most Americans not wanting the reality-tv performers campaign gimmick "big, beautiful wall" that he repeatedly promised Mexico would pay for, and that a Republican-controlled Congress would not give him $5.7 billion of taxpayer money for during the two years they might have done.

    A rational, comprehensive policy regarding border security is needed, designed by experts, not p-grabbing show biz celebrities. It is time Cry Baby Donny ended his petulant shutdown of government in which he took pride and for which he vowed not to blame others. He needs to stop scaring private property owners with his threats Big Government confiscating their land.
