    While Biden is a day late and a dollar short with the wall, I am very curious to know what wars he started.

    I agree except for the final sentence. The blame game achieves power, and that's the primary concern of most politicians.

    maybe, many areas on the border are not as accesable

    but the reality is, most that stay here illegally came here legally, they just overstay their welcome

    "they just overstay their welcome" = illegal... funny how the meaning of "just" gets so complicated...

    After travelling over a thousand miles, another twenty is not going to make much difference.
    If that is true, then Blue cities have nothing to complain about. That may have been true at one time. But record numbers are coming across the border now and it far exceeds those that are coming in legally.

    A wall is not going to fix that in the least. Deporting workers who have already adapted to the system and are already producing, even less. This is for political points. Which is characteristic of the right and utterly repugnant to the left.

    We agree...

    Interesting that you think that integrating schools and pulling troops out of war zones is leftist.

    again, criticize him for something you wanted him to do....so much for reaching across the aisle.

    You may be right. Building twenty miles along a 2000 mile border really does not amount to much (1%). Too little too late.

    I am more interested in what is happening right now which we can do something about than the past which we can do nothing about.

    Well... you just endorsed that view. Better be more careful in what you write.

    Those of us who are not ideologues understand that sometimes policies need to be adopted by people in power who are NOT ideologues which are contrary to their political inclination. In the case of Biden, ideologically he has ALWAYS leaned right of center. I'm just asking ideologues if THIS makes it clear to them that Biden is a right-winger.

    You are an Ideologue that is clear to everyone who reads your post. And no I neither endorsed nor not endorsed the idea merely wondered why You thought LBJ a leftist.But not Nixon who largely governed to the left of Johnson.

    I assure you, you repubs will never hear the end of the fact that Trump is a criminal, fraudster, and sex abuser.

    By comparison, Biden is the better choice if that is the choice we have.

    And I doubt that 20 mile border fence is going to stop the problem noting that no president in history has solved the border problem.

    yes, overstaying your welcome is illegal, but they came here legally, is the point - no wall would stop them

    Biden is not building a wall. He is building a 20 mile long political fence to suck in the gullible. He policies have not changed. He's just a dishonest as ever.

    No, the progressives know exactly what this is. It's a dog and pony show designed to take pressure off the administration. The administration policy has not changed. We know that 20 miles of the border MIGHT be closed, unless they open a gate for the antelopes and illegals to migrate in the middle of it.

    Besides, they can slow walk building that 20 miles of fence and tell the illegals when not to go there in a few months.

    And he's only doing it because not finishing that 20 mile stretch was grounds for impeachment. Thanks to RINO McCarthy's feet dragging, this particular grounds for impeachment is now gone. Now if he can only reverse all those foreign payoffs...

    The WALL, if properly augmented with detection devices, security systems, alarms, reaction forces, and patrols... will do a LOT to alleviate the problem.
