Politicians are by definition liars, hypocrites, frauds and thieves. It a matter of degree and constituency. Everyone lies. Everyone enjoys their benefits.<br />An actual wall; an impenetrable, unscaleable wall, standing unbroken but for secure gates, along the full length of the 1,933 mile U.S.-Mexican border was never realistically expected, not by anyone that I know. Growing quickly, the existing short sections of walls and fences and monitors, is all that I ever expected. <br />This month, the U. S. DHS ATTEMPTS to waive a host of laws in order to begin construction of a new wall near Calexico, California; bypassing the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act,...and more than a dozen others. <br />Trump expected policy help. He didn't expect his own lying Republican majority to be "the wall" between him and his policy promises. He can be criticized for being naive and unrealistic, but not for not trying, and certainly not for somehow being POTUS during the most dramatic decrease in illegal crossings, in modern U.S. history: Illegal crossings are said to be down, immediately after Trump's election. Was it something he said?<br />A Bing search for "illegal border crossings since Trump elected", shows only claims of dramatic decreases; down 93%, down 76%, 75%, 70%, 40%... I see not one claim of increases.<br />Everyone's a genius but the idiot Trump. <br />Buck Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-8439973143344177422017-09-25T04:40:31.514+10:002017-09-25T04:40:31.514+10:00Only the wall that Trump's erstwhile supporter...Only the wall that Trump's erstwhile supporters are banging their heads against...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-27040004789327131792017-09-23T23:59:11.838+10:002017-09-23T23:59:11.838+10:00Too bad that what Trump says and what he does are ...<em>Too bad that what Trump says and what he does are two different things</em><br /><br />So how's that wall coming along?
