So - replacing an old and unsecured section of fencing doesn’t constitute anything to do with securing the borders via blocking structures....flailing, flailing, being a royal pain - and pathetic at that...

I would say this was less than a glowing endorsement.

“...The project to replace dilapidated fencing in Calexico began in 2009...” Don’t work very fast, do they??? What BS!!!!!

Maybe I've not posted anything positive. But what I have posted that was incorrect?

“It has to be built so that no Democrat can render it worthless.”

The bollards are heavy steel pipe, stronger than streetlight poles, filled with concrete and rebar. They will withstand the environment for many decades, with only surface rust.

They are very hard to breach, and relatively easy/quick/cheap to repair. They would be tough and expensive to demolish, if the Left ever went that far.

When thirty foot bollards are unguarded, few people would try to climb them, rather than find a way around them. They are scary high. Most people who fall from thirty feet, die from the fall - and those that live are badly hurt. It will happen, and word will get around - Mexican TV will broadcast the stories.

The article suggests it - says that the photos of the replacement don’t constitute working on the Wall...

And they cite authority:

"During the presidential campaign, Trump lashed out at primary opponent Jeb Bush for suggesting that Trump would build a fence instead of a wall.

Jeb Bush just talked about my border proposal to build a “fence.” It's not a fence, Jeb, it's a WALL, and there's a BIG difference!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 25, 2015"

The area in question was right on what looked like the end of some city street - no reason to not have a structure that allows visibility - especially around a populated area.

Interesting. I guess the IJR has not accepted the election.

Ted Cruz

What is your opinion of the wall?

You sound like my son...when he was 4-years old!

They run articles about Cruz so they have not accepted the election?

We need one.

This guy is an anti-Trump troll

Even though he is from 1997 and you are from 2016?

Really?

Yeah, yeah, that’s it, I want all done in one day, Dad, notwithstanding that Trump has been president for 1.5 years now...

Mhmm, you’re a smart one, yep.

You know what, I think that fence repair is a bunch of horsecrap, and you know it, and you’re trying to defend it.

There’s a lot of miles that need wall, and this doesn’t cover it.

Not by a long shot.

He may have as little as 8 more months to complete the entire project.

Nice try at deflection.

Fact is, your 2016 ass is calling “troll” on someone from 1997.

Explain that.

You haven’t been looking very hard.
