This has ALWAYS been a dog-whistle to the racist "base" and a way to rile them up by pointing to the scary darker complected people and assigning blame...

Trump no more cares about border security than he does women's rights or marriage vows. This is, was and ever shall be world without end a shrill scream in the night to his supporters that the REAL enemy is the the immigrant and the Democratic Party and the REAL Americans know what needs to be done (wink, wink...nudge, nudge).

He is doing what he always - distracting, projecting and lying to keep the focus off of his dirty actions and on his outrageous ones to distract people from the building momentum that his presidency is illegitimate, his 'election' a national tragedy and his future is behind bars.

So true,been out on the Area 51,or tried to prospect the area. Don't think we got more than two blocks before one of those emfamous white Chevy Pickup trucks popped up out of nowhere and pull us over and escorted us back across the the cattle guard and back on the Fire road. The Guy was darn polite. Have talked to others that have not been so lucky.

And the area is one part of hundreds of thousands of acres.

That's really interesting! I'd love to go out there! Did you see anything good after dark?
The wall is his Great Wall of China. Xi sold him on building it as a big monument to himself like the one that 'still stands' in China. Xi probably told him that knowing he'd try to do it. Who knows?

down the govt to get a wall we dont need. The wall's redundant at this point. Just anything except justice I guess. He's dead man walking politically. What happened w manafort today? Wonder if these two dust-ups in todays news are related.
