    Biden stopped building Trump's wall. Here's what it looks like now

    Story by Ed Lavandera, Ashley Killough and Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN

    ...

    "It is enraging. We have watched thousands of pounds of dynamite be detonated in wilderness areas, in corridors for endangered species, in places where there is not frequent migration from people or smugglers. ... They have cut through an entire mountain range to build a small section of wall that to someone in DC was just another mile on the tally."

    Laiken Jordahl, environmental activist

    ... https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/30/us/border-wall-construction-stopped/index.html

    There is a lot to see at the link, but I think this quote sums it up nicely. Maybe if Klump had fulfilled his promise of getting Mexico to pay for it all instead of stealing it from the Pentagon and such, this blight on the landscape could have been continued for better or worse.

    I realize it would be a huge chunk of wasted money but I'd love to see Joe take everything down. Anything and everything that can be done to erase trump from history will contribute to our country healing.

    OTOH, we don't want to "cancel" the horribleness completely out of memory... Some of the land desecration needs to stay as is as a reminder of what happens when a xenophobic idiot is elected and supported in Congress..

    I propose taking the worst areas of partial construction and demolition and open them as a National Park.

    The Former Guy Useless Land Rape National Park?? Too long??

    There is precedent, though it was 3300 years ago.

    The Pharaoh Erased From History - Neues Museum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin — Google Arts & Culture

    The similarities are striking. Akhenaten changed everything and proclaimed himself a god. After his rule (death), the Egyptians removed all references to his existence. It worked for millennia. We can try. Lol.

    Sorry to break your bubble but one only has to pause for a minute at trump's wall if they want to come in to our country. People tried to tell him that but he was just too smart for us. Just GOOGLE 'people climbing trump's wall' and you'll see a photo album of successful attempts.

    Nobody will ever be able to convince me that Trump didn't profit somewhere in there.

    How Bannon and His Indicted Business Partners Cashed In on Trump

    The men had a history of monetizing conservative causes long before they were charged with fraud this week in a scheme to build a private border wall.

    I'm hopeful that someday (perhaps years from how) that my theory of trump making roughly 1M a day as President will be proven. Anything and everything he could do for self profit was all he ever accomplished. Hell, he's still doing it with "they stole the election, fund me so I can prove it. I've got a baby blood sucking Q working over the election results in Arizona and I need more money". What a f****** joke,

    Yeah, because a few miles of new fencing in the middle of nowhere was going to keep them out :lol:

    Ask the military and regular law enforcement about how useful drones are.

    There was a thread about him continuing construction. If he puts his name on it like he did with the vaccine, shouldn't it be okay?

    FYI ....

    “It makes our agents safer, it makes them more efficient, and it’s basically patrolling a lot smarter,” Haynes said.

    The Wall and Trump's policies had fixed Illegal Immigration... it was masterful... and then China Joe and the Democrats screwed it all up again. The symbol of the Wall build alone sent the message to not come illegally.

    Now we have more kids separated from their parents than ever and even though the MSM will barely cover it, none of these kids are being reunited with their families. It's a humanitarian disaster and no one is watching or fixing it.

    Why should I listen to an environmental activist who thinks any change on any land is something that shouldn't be done? And how would they know how many illegals came through that area?

    BTW, at least one of those pictures that CNN showed...its from before Trump came into office. Face it, they're pushing forth a one sided narrative that is designed to pull at your heart strings so they can play you like a fiddle.

    Let me know which words you are having trouble with and we can try to explain — I underlined the key one to see if that helps
    in places where there is not frequent migration

    Or maybe if Congress fulfilled its duty to national security, we wouldn't have this issue now. Protecting the country should be bipartisan, there shouldn't be no shortage of things we can do(within international law) to keep our country safe and secure, and building a border, like every other country should not have been seen as inhumane.

    Instead, democrats are weak on national security like they've always been weak on national security(The Iran hostage crisis, to the present day.)

    I wish the Democratic Party were stronger on national security than they are.

    Democrats exposed the most recent threat to our National Security, which as it turned out, was a Republican...

    That makes up for a lot of past mistakes...
