>>Riiight -- and did you see how that heroin actually gets across the border? It's though the points-of-entry, so a wall isn't going to do a damn thing to slow that down.

According to the border personnel themselves: if you don't have to patrol and secure and rescue people along the whole border, you can do better at the points of entry.

Even Obama's Border Patrol Chief that Trump fired immediately, is weighing in on this one now: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/09/obama-border-patrol-chief-trump-stay-course-border-wall

Sheesh, look at what he had to say about the wall:

I was removed. I’m standing up and saying, ‘I should have disdain for them, but I don’t because they are right. I can stand up and say they are right because it’s the right thing to do for this country. I’m begging the president to stay the course.”

If this story develops the way I expect, IMHO Fake News has approximately 0% chance of convincing people outside the bubble, that the wall is anything to do with hate or anti-immigration, or that it will cost more than it saves.

JR>And he very, very, very clearly distinguished legal from illegal immigration- again. Will the fact checkers fact check themselves?
VA>He was on air for 10 whole minutes reading a prepared speech and still told lies, misleading statements, falsehoods, etc John. I agree that not EVERYTHING he said was a lie of course.

It appears you're warming to him! Not EVERYTHING he said was a lie, and he gave a prepared speech- which is a compliment compared to previous criticisms.

Shall we now wait for the picture of you wearing your MAGA hat? ;-)
