Hi All,
I apologize for the lengthy e-mail, but I have been percolating on this for many days. I have tried to e-mail Hannity directly through the website, but it never goes through I finally made time to put my thoughts to paper and now need more knowledge and resources to seek answers. Thanks in advance!
CNN did an article that building a $25B wall would cost each U.S. house hold $120. If each Trump voter from 2016 paid $388 (based on the 62.9+ million voter number), the wall could be built. The reason I bring up this number is not EVERY household wants the wall. But Iām willing to suggest 97% or higher of Trump supporters do want the wall and would be willing to āCrowd Fundā or āGo Fund Meā the wall. And some households, such as myself, would give more than $388. Why canāt we do that? I understand the Federal Government is responsible for National Defense, but the Federal Government ISNāT DOING ANYTHING! Donāt states have the right to protect themselves? How about individual counties? Cities? Towns? Neighborhoods? Homes? Individuals? Seriously, isnāt part of the Conservative ideology to be āself sufficientā and āself reliantā?
What would happen if individuals whose properties abut the Mexico-U.S. border decided to build a fence, or āwallā, ON THEIR PROPERTY and then their neighbors on either side of THEIR PROPERTY decide to do the same thing and they decide to connect the edges of their respective fences to their neighbors? Is there an eminent domain issue here? I would suspect the $25B cost would be even less if done privately, as opposed to government contracts? The wall could be a simple as electric fences (think Jurassic Park fence structures).
We could probablu use solar power for the electricity That would make the environmentalists happy, right?
If we need the Federal Government to ādo somethingā, is passing a law that allows for Crowd Funding/Go Fund Me enough of ādoing somethingā to move the wall construction forward? If the Republicans TRULY cared about National Security and the wellness of the U.S.A. as whole, beyond just the immediate Border States, then such a Bill should pass easily in both Houses of Congress. Senator OāConnell could simply eliminate the need for 60 votes and they could pass such legislation with a simple majority and nearly no one but the far Left would care.
California may not want a Wall, but I believe those people who live near the border (at least the counties one county away from the border, the map shows the CA-MX border counties are Blue) disagree with Sacramento, so by my above my logic, the individuals could build the Wall, right? If the Californians couldnāt build their personal/private walls, then wouldnāt it follow that Nevada and Oregon people could build walls? Essentially wall off California completely? And, taking this logic a step further, and looking at the electoral map, the entire West Coast could be walled off going up through Utah and Idaho all the way to Canadian border. Right? Or, looking at the Electoral Map by countiesā voting, there is a definitely line/wall that could be drawn from Texas to Canada, splitting California into 2 definitive entities (instead of 3 as on their ballot); thereby, not removing reasonable, logical, non-Socialist Californians from the rest of the U.S.
I understand this is somewhat of an esoteric, intellectual exercise with regards to walling off part of the U.S. states from the rest of the U.S.; essentially a secession argument, to be precise. Please donāt think I am promoting such an extreme idea, just trying to raise questions and make a point simultaneously. I am well aware regressing to ātribesā is not in the best interest of the USA as a whole. For the safety of our Nation, ALL of our citizens, and even Canadaās safety, it makes the most sense for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to DO THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL JOBS and protect the U.S. Citizens by building the Wall. Doesnāt it? What am I missing in this argument/debate? If I am not missing anything and my argument/logic is sound, why am I not hearing these ideas in the mainstream media (meaning ALL traditional media outlets not Social Media) including Fox News channels?
Iām just a concerned citizen who solves problems for a living as a Physical Therapist. As a proud Ohioan, I see the human trafficking in the news in OUR state! Our drug issues are HUGE and real. ICE has recently arrested dozens of illegals. Iām still waiting for the businesses to be fined or punished, by the way. I donāt have a law degree and even though I can read the Constitution, I canāt seem to comprehend why any of my previous queries are so complicated that nothing is being done. What is the advantage for the āno Wallā crowd to have their position? Is their position a true legal position? Or is it really about overwhelming our system for the end game of globalism and Socialism? I cannot even imagine we have that many people in power that want that; but, that mental exercise is for another time.
Thank you for your time and consideration with my lengthy inquiries. Be well. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jim
