Biden cancels all Pentagon money used for Trump's Mexico border wall

[SigurdReginson]

It has everything to do with what we were discussing; and it simultaneous refutes your claims. Groundskeeping is hard labor; so that one was refuted before you even responded.

Alrighty then.

Good thing no islamic terrorists (who have declared war on America) view that wide-open gaping whole in our boarder as some sort of "opportunity" that might affect our national security - now that a new political party is in charge of the White House - we should have thought of this before.

How amazing "we were suddenly clear minded" enough to string up a fence around the Capitol and flood it with armed guards . when ... "politicians" where "at risk for one day on Jan 6". So much so that we then left them all there "protecting" while zero illegal crossings were going on at an out of control raging pace "just to be safe" - knowing all the while "fences don't work and the money should be sent to the Pentagon".

Oh, Islamic terrorists. The ones who usually just fly into the country on passenger planes, huh? Somehow I would think they wouldn't be interested in crossing the border with Mexico, when there are much safer borders. Like Canada, or the Pacific coast, or the Atlantic coast. Did you want to station military troops on the entire perimeter of the United States? You might propose that to your congresspeople. I'm not sure how seriously they'll take the idea, though.

Say what?

Sounds good. The Great Wall of Trump was going to be a waste of money anyway.

 

[HARK!]

Already addressed in post #7.

The men, arrested in January and March near a port of entry in California, were on a U.S. government watchlist for terrorism suspects and a "no-fly" list, CBP said in a press release.

My question stands. Those two were pretty dumb to cross the most heavily guarded border. How many have crossed the other borders with no one noticing? If your concern is terrorists and not illegal aliens, shouldn't we be heavily guarding the entire perimeter?

Were not these terrorist illegal immigrants?

We should defend our borders. If our military can't defend our borders; how can they defend the American people?

>_<

I don't even want to know what you're trying to say with that line.

We should defend our borders. If our military can't defend our borders; how can they defend the American people?

And we go back to my question again. Troops around the entire perimeter? Troops and walls? What do you want the military to do to stop this massive wave of incoming terrorists that you fear?

 

[Pommer]

I wasn't talking about enforcing civil law. I was talking about defending our borders.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico has deployed almost 15,000 soldiers and National Guard in the north of the country to stem the flow of illegal immigration across the border into the United States, the head of the Mexican Army said on Monday.

Mexico says it has deployed 15,000 forces in the north to halt U.S.-bound migration

Are you suggesting that Mexico isn't a functional society?

Lemme get this straight...you’re actually worried that the Mexicans are going to invade our fair land?

 

[Nithavela]

When Biden wanted to "protect" the capitol building - he put a fence around it with armed guards. That is what he does "in real life" when he wants to protect something - EVEN if "that something" has seen zero border crossing since Jan 6.

How did he accomplish that two weeks before his inauguration?

 

[Nithavela]

And we go back to my question again. Troops around the entire perimeter? Troops and walls? What do you want the military to do to stop this massive wave of incoming terrorists that you fear?

I'd suggest machine gun emplacements. Of course, the more reasonable choice is to put lots of detectors into the desert and drone-strike any illegal crossing.

I believe that is what the current administration is hanging their hat on... people that want to do America harm as terrorists would hate to just "walk in and do that" --- much better to go through customs and get some sort of inspection.

 

[HARK!]

Lemme get this straight...you’re actually worried that the Mexicans are going to invade our fair land?

They already have....and it continues.

 

[Pommer]

Should I brush up on my Español?

 

[HARK!]

Should I brush up on my Español?

I took four years of it; and I have to brush up on it, to make the correct cabrito purchase, at deli counter at my local grocery store. In El Paso, it can be difficult to even find a cashier who speaks English.

When the cashier gives you the price on a box of Zucaritas; you can either brush up on your Spanish; or you can whip out a Franklin, and hope that the cashier gives you the right change.

It could also be useful to be well rehearsed for emergencies.

For example, my neighbors heifer broke down a couple of fences and was prancing around my yard. A couple of times it looked like it was ready to charge me. I escaped from my yard, and made my way to my neighbors home. To my surprise, no one there spoke English, nada. With the adrenaline rush that I was experiencing, I was having a difficult time forming a complete Spanish sentence to explain the emergency. Each time I tried to explain, they gave me a lost look. I finally couched down and pointed through a break the trees, and exclaimed "MOOOOOO!" Then everyone became as excited as I was.

Wait... Your refutal of his point of not wanting military guarding the border (if I understood the premise of his point well enough) is to point to a case of law enforcement doing its job? So if they are doing their job... What's the need for military there?

How many terrorist have crossed the border undetected? If we look at the overall numbers of those who cross the border undetected, and the numbers of those who are caught, and compare that ratio, with the ratio of illegal immigrants who are caught, with the number of terrorists who are caught; we might be able to get some idea.

However, I suspect that trained terrorists are less likely to get caught than the average illegal immigrant.

Maybe I shouldn't call terrorists, terrorists. I might hurt the feelings of the terrorists.

To your first question, you tell me. For your next sentence, can you put it in another way? Perhaps it's my language skills but I can't quite understand the point you are trying to make. You talk about the number of undetected crossings (let's call this X amount), to those who are caught (overall? Let's call this Y) and compare that ratio (X to Y) to the ratio of ii's caught (what is this ratio in comparison to the X to Y ratio? Let's call this Z ratio) and ratio of terrorists caught (let's call this W ratio). So what exactly is the comparison here that makes sense? For W ratio to mean anything, we would have to know the total number of terrorists that tried to cross Vs those who were caught. Do you have that number? I'm sorry, I'm an engineer by education and the math logic here bothers me because I can't see how it works.

But in the end, they did get caught, didn't they? So again, the law enforcement seems to be doing a good enough job in catching the terrorists. Doesn't seem like an example to support your point.
