in the negotiated spending bill to stop another shut down.
I am not happy about that.

(17,984 posts)I found the three foot wall an inconvenience, so I turned around and went home.
But honestly, any size of wall is not going to stop someone fleeing from a situation that is dangerous enough. It's not going to stop someone who has already traveled 1,500 miles. This is obviously something that the base does not understand.

(3,398 posts)Basically what they did in 2006. There will be more than $5.7 billion for border security, but it will primarily be spent on people and technology. There will be no actual wall.

(31,261 posts)But experts should decide that, not the orange glob. I believe drones and properly trained border agents that are held responsible for Any inappropriate conduct toward people that are caught crossing the border works a lot better.
