Can we talk about why DHS issued a press release that was badly translated from Russian? [View all]

[Recursion]

I feel like we kind of need to talk about this.

DHS is committed to building wall and building wall quickly. We are not replacing short, outdated and ineffective wall with similar wall. Instead, under this President we are building a wall that is 30-feet high.

FACT: Prior to President Trump taking office, we have never built wall that high.

Once funding was provided, DHS began construction of border wall exceptionally quickly, in some locations in as little as nine months from funding to building– a process that commonly takes two years or more in other parts of Government.

I mean, I only know a little Russian, but it's enough to know that those are definitely sentences that started their lives in Russian.
