Am I the only one who remembers this?

“Speaking to hundreds of Granite State voters at a private reception, the Texas governor was asked whether he supported a fence along the Mexican border.

“No, I don’t support a fence on the border,” he said, while referring to the long border in Texas alone. “The fact is, it’s 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso. Two things: How long you think it would take to build that? And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”

There are a lot of Texans that don't want a fence, at least not for the entire border. It makes sense in some areas, but not necessarily everywhere. There are property rights issues to consider as well.

Also places like this (Big Bend) --

-- where you don't need or want a fence.

And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”

Well I find it funny that prisons manage to build walls & fences that keep even the most determined inmates inside. Razor wire and electricity put an end to 35' ladders. Of course the politicians know this. The politicians instead of doing their duty focus on serving their own special interest meaning obeying corporate donors who want cheap illegal labor. That means they lack the will and in some cases their corruption is what keeps a fortified border wall from being built.

Either politicians must immediately fund and start construction on the entire wall NON STOP UNTIL COMPLETION and for our military being armed and placed on the border now or they stand against the Constitution of The United States and their oath of office that includes governors.
