And the lies from the media continue.Trump did not propose a "coast to coast" wall, and has only proposed strategic barriers. So, no. The PRESIDENT'S plan is "a mix of strategic fencing and smart technology" and more personnel.

It's perfectly acceptable to point out their fake news crap.
If that were the case there should be no problem reaching agreement with the Dems. because historically this has long been their position.You prove my point again. The ONLY reason they changed was because Trump wants it too. They are liars and hacks.
"a mix of strategic fencing and smart technology" to me. He said "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." And he repeated it over and over again.That's what

It seems to be fluctuating in the "normal" window for the last 6 years,
and remains WAY below the peak of the mid 1980s and around 2000 when apprehensions were averaging over 130K per month (over twice the current level).

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostWell, considering that's not what I said...
The data says they are rising since Q2 of FY 2017, and that Q2 of FY 2019 is on pace to be the highest in 12 years.
Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostSince the end of the second quarter last year, it has jumped from the lowest in 6 years to being on pace to be the highest in 6 years, so as I claimed, the numbers are not "way down". They are rising.
Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostAgain, not what I said.
Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostA 268% increase in apprehensions from the end of FY17 Q2 to the beginning of Q2 in FY19 is significant.
And, again, if it wasn't a "national emergency" at six times the level it is now, why is it a "national emergency" now?

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostIn my view, most of the electorate is ignorant and just gorging on the narrative the media is feeding them. I go by personal experience AT the San Ysidro border wall and talking to a dozen actual border patrol agents.
It's perfectly acceptable to point out their fake news crap.You prove my point again. The ONLY reason they changed was because Trump wants it too. They are liars and hacks.And that's your problem, media tourist. You don't actually WANT to read any specifics, which I provided to Carp a few pages ago. You think you know based on what the MSM is spoon-feeding you. They omit based on their own narrative they are crafting. And you slurp it up like the good little sheep you are.
In short Trump is lying and the likes of you believe his lies.

The city had a curfew in place. There were areas we couldn't even go to because of gangs.
So no, it wasn't a safe city.
The current city authorities want to rewrite history. Who would come out and claim that their own city was a cesspool of crime and violence? Marketing dude.
