What’s the point? Our government doesn’t intend to secure the border at all.

The point is to give O 20K new UNION jobs, thus dues for Dem coffers

Except the border patrol seems to stand pretty exclusively against the democrats.

With ICE still continuing “catch and release” I have no idea what additional agents bring, other than more federal union employees.

Pull the military from Europe and put it on the border to support the border patrol. We are already paying for them.

Some of them need to be deployed into sanctuary cities to aid in deportation, but that will never happen.

I’d pull them out of the mideast but yes, the military would make a fine backup on the border.

An army, nay a corps, of border patrol agents will not close the border if they have a Presidential order to make no arrests.

So long as the current President breathes in office there will always be such and order.

The treacherous tyrant has no respect for any law.

The word “wall” is a Dem tactic meant to create a negative image of border enforcement.

That is if they don’t lose the taxpayer funded weapons supplied to them. Maybe they should let the park service store them when not in use. On the other hand, maybe the CBP should be shut down and king hussein can direct the monies saved there at the real and biggest threat the world has ever seen. You know, climate change. Could prof. hussein get any more stupid? How do his kin folk like being told they can’t have cars and air conditioned large houses/mansions? While AF1 is idling on the runway so it’s all comfy for the worst(I mean first)family.

” Our government doesn’t intend to secure the border at all.”

You got that right. If they would put that many on the border to start with, the only power they would have would be to run and hide if they saw anyone coming across. It would have nothing to do with actually protecting us from the constant flow of ILLEGAL invaders.
