MY question is this ; Israel is a tiny country with a relatively small population and an economy that reflects these facts . Yet Israel was able to quickly build a magnificent WALL , all along their West Bank / Pal-land border . It is able to cordon off the Gaza border to the point that not even to most vigorous of violent border breaking attempts succeed . It is able to guard it’s coastlines so that almost no terrorist or illegal immigrant boats get thru . It is able to deploy it’s military , within it’s own boundaries , and to discover , attack , and destroy any threats to it’s national integrity . Including these tunnels .
WHY CAN’T WE DO THAT ?
The U.S. Constitution you say ?
Suspend it . It’s time to try the Israeli model . Time to get tough . Time for a leader with full plenary powers .
Who I support , 100%! Screw this undermined feckless system we have devolved in . We have thrown our most precious pearls to the worst of the swine and the swine are trying to take over . Down with the swine . You should own what you earn and they haven’t earned it . They have earned , and are owed , nothing.... It’s time .

Not necessary. The Constitution sets no restraints whatsoever on the federal government protecting its borders. Indeed it charges the gov with the duty to repel invasion and defeat insurrection, even suspending habeas corpus if necessary.

"WHY CAN’T WE DO THAT? The U.S. Constitution you say?"

FYI, the building of the wall was passed by Congress before Obambi got in office. It's still Law. The problem has been the funding that Hussein and his Congress didn't allow. I expected that.

What I didn't expect was Repubs having the Presidency and both "chambers" (as ack-Cortez says) of Congress and not fund it in the past two years. Pfft.
