“But I can hear the left screaming about the fried “migrants””

Wonder if they taste like fried chicken?
Nah
Probably more like refried beans.

Just as long as it keeps the riff-raff out and not waste our tax dollars taking care of parasites.

You have never tried to cut steel with a blowtorch, have you?
It takes a very long time, when the steel is that thick and that deep. Long enough to attract attention. Nevertheless, you are just looking for a problem, aren’t you?

I have been around stick, tig, mig, plasma, air arc, oxygen arc, oxy-act cutting...

Note the link to the cutting speed is from ESAB.

Cutting with a blowtorch? NEVER, because it is simply not done.

That’s just the demoMedia trying to save face in their self-inflicted debacle.

Well they wouldn’t get “fried” if they weren’t trying to break USA laws.

What are these people talking about. Trump has been talking about a steel barrier for a long time with a desire to be able to see through it.

Maybe he's giving them an "out" to explain to their nutty base that they really forced Trump to put up a "fence" instead of a "wall". So he says it was all their idea and gets the win.

Yeah ... or maybe it’s a headfake by the WH to show that Trump is willing to compromise — that he will go with steel instead of concrete (although he planned for steel all along). LOL

One possibility is that the story could actually be correct and the WH is floating the story to mess with the dems.

The Left living in their bubble simply cannot accept that there are a lot of Americans out there who understand the need for a border wall.

To them, it “seems” like Orangeman is casting a Twitter spell on weak-minded people.

The reality is a lot of people are astonished there is actually a politician who is sticking to his guns on this, believes the same thing we do, and not caving as they have always done.

“The possible concession, which comes days after Trump had floated a barrier of steel rather than a concrete wall”

“What are these people talking about.”

The answer to your question is VERY SIMPLE. The ONLY WAY to either take out Trump through Impeachment, or at least assure his defeat in 2020 is for TRUMP’S BASE (basically) us, to get pissed enough at him to the point of no longer supporting him.

This is a PATHETIC attempt to accomplish just that. It’s as pathetic as reminding up that Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall - as if we give a crap. It’s both sickening and instructive to see just how the media is player in this.

Dems are trying to find a way out. If it’s not called a wall they can tell their idiot voters they stopped trumps Wall.

Meanwhile America gets a wall.

Double steel wall. When they try to cut the 2nd hole they are tased and pushed back through the hole they came in from.
