The border is right where Trump's hyperbole bit him in the ass.
He campaigned on that ridiculous claim that Mexico would pay for the border wall and the result of that was that he couldn't/didn't push hard for border money when elected because that would have been contradicting his stupid promise.
As a result, he waited too long to make that push, and by the time he got around to it, the Democrats controlled the House and wouldn't give him the money.
Agreed. Trump won his campaign on securing the border and building the wall. He failed. He also failed to get the $$ needed while he had a decent majority in both Houses.
For anyone reading this nonsense
and remember what actually was accomplished by President Trump against formidable and bipartisan opposition, I repost this information to assure you that you are not the crazy one.
Wall Funding:Stopping illegal immigration was never an issue for Congress --- and it *still* isn't . Prior to Trump, the issue on the table was how comprehensive amnesty would be. (Remember the Gang of Eight?).
Trump's requests for funding were denied by Congress from the start; even when run by "Republicans".
Congress passes $1.3 trillion spending bill that includes some border wall funding
Mar 22, 2018
The bill will boost spending on various projects, including infrastructure and a border wall. The $1.6 billion allocated for a wall fell far short of the Trump administration's demands, and Democrats were able to exact significant restrictions on the wall's construction, including avoiding building it in a wildlife preserve and blocking any construction of the barrier as a solid concrete wall.
The $1.3 trillion measure, which lawmakers scrambled to pass ahead of a government shutdown deadline Friday night, was on its way to President Donald Trump after the U.S. Senate passed it late Thursday on a vote of 65-32. The new spending restores funding on many of the austerity measures Republicans implemented since taking over the U.S. House in 2011.
Earlier Thursday, the House passed the bill on a vote of 256-167. Most Texas Republicans fell in line with their *leadership* on the bill, but a handful from the conservative wing of the party voted against it: U.S. Reps. Brian Babin of Woodville, Joe Barton of Ennis, Blake Farenthold of Corpus Christi, Louie Gohmert of Tyler, Ted Poe of Humble and John Ratcliffe of Heath.

The next funding reductions/denials would be even easier for Congress, after Ryan's strategy to hand the Speaker's gavel to Pelosi was successful.
Trump found funding through "creative budget allocations" --- whose implementation were delayed by multiple court challenges. The same type of Court challenges would be used frequently to delay building, usually to protect butterflies, snakes and lizards.
Yet, Trump still managed to fund and build almost 500 miles of wall.
Political Agreements* Trump ended Catch-and-Release, which meant that instead of illegals getting released into the United States pending future hearings never to be seen again, they were detained pending removal, and then ultimately returned to their home countries
* Trump entered into three asylum cooperation agreements with Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala to stop asylum fraud and resettle illegal migrants in third-party nations pending their asylum applications. (Illegals passing through these countries on their way to the US would remain there or be sent back there, if they made it through)
* Trump entered into a partnership with Mexico, referred to as the “Migrant Protection Protocols,” to safely return asylum-seekers to Mexico while awaiting hearings in the United States (Remain in Mexico) ---- The President would subsequently "convince" Mexico to put troops on its Southern border --- at their expense --- to reduce the flow of illegals passing through Mexico on their way to the US.
Here's a snapshot of what --- against Satan's headwinds --- Trump accomplished:
Trump, in his first term, led a quantum leap in securing our Southern border. It could be summed up in three words: "Keep them out".
His second term will be summed up with: "Keep and get them out". Trump will again -- and quickly -- secure our Southern borderdo AND focus on removing the invaders welcomed by the Biden regime.
I simply do not understand how anyone ---
anyone --- concerned about securing our sovereignty would not crawl over broken glass to vote for Donald Trump in November.
