We hear bull ■■■■ like this post all the time. From so called experts with political agendas trying to justify basically doing nothing to defend our southern border. There’s nothing in the above post worthy of credibly considering.
Here’s a great piece from the Center for Immigration Studies. They talk to people who actually know something about the border…the folks patrolling it.
Headline- Border Patrol Agents, the Only True Experts, Lament Wall Construction Halt
“ DEMING, N.M. — Just over the horizon from this high-desert town, an order from newly seated President Joe Biden last week halted westward construction of his predecessor’s border wall. A mile or so down the line, at a section building eastward to connect with it, construction also ended. The “pause” orders from distant Washington, where “experts” insist border walls don’t work, left a mile-wide open corridor here that would have been closed in another month or so…In the shadow of a last installed panel, a U.S. Border Patrol agent left responsible for covering that mile-wide gap wondered who all these “experts” are who constantly insist walls don’t work against illegal immigration and drug trafficking…“You hear TV, and they would say, ‘well the experts say the wall isn’t effective,’ and I never understood who these experts were,” said the agent. “Because all of our data says, you know, 90 percent effective rate … dropping of crossings … increased apprehensions and all of that. And it’s like, well who are these experts to say it wasn’t effective and what are they basing that on? You know, they never really specify.”
In building the border wall, in designing it President Trump consulted with these people, the folks patrolling the border to design an effective barrier that would be an asset to their ability to do what they’ve been hired and trained to do…defend the country and the southern border.
It’s time to start calling the “if we build a 20 foot wall they’ll buy 25 foot ladders” crowd the uninformed frauds they are. Here’s why…from the same piece.
“The Border Patrol agent near Deming, N.M., addressing wall-opponent claims that ladders, cutting tools, and rope-climbing had entirely neutralized wall effectiveness, told CIS that where groups of 60 or 80 migrants and drug mules once walked through unopposed, only three or four at a time can get over the wall now, and those are the strongest and boldest:”
At the risk of making this a really long post…here’s what a Border Patrol Agent in the El Paso area had to say. “ As much as people like to let their gums flap about things they don’t know what they’re talking about … a wall is a great deterrent. That whole tall-wall-taller-ladder thing? Haha, fine, let them lug a 45-foot ladder out there in the middle of the desert. I don’t care. It’s a deterrent. It’s not a 100 percent guarantee, but it [a wall] stops most of the people who are mediorcerly [sic] going to commit a crime. A lot of people have no interest in risking their lives to climb that high or lug a band-saw and cutting tools out to the middle of nowhere. A lot of people are deterred by just the idea of all that. Nothing will stop everybody, of course, but for a lot of people? They’re not honestly that motivated to go through all of what it takes…”
These are the people who actually know what they are talking about…not the squad or Kommie Harris or even Biden who told us during the campaign he in effect wanted 2 million new illegals streaming into this country and who has kneecapped our border hero’s every step of his idiotic presidency.
Sorry for the long post.
