No…it’s not about the data…it’s been proved over and over again Trump is spinning.
Unlike you, I actually read the source material instead of what my favorite politicians or media talking heads tell me what to believe about the source material.
It seems to be apparent by the OP that the experts they (OP) are referring to are border agents.
I am certainly no expert, but I would suspect that they (border agents) have an opinion on what they perceive is the most effective method.
However, I am inclined to believe that there are actual security experts in the United States that know more effective and cost-savings ways of protecting our borders. Does anyone know if any of these security experts are planning on joining the President at the border today?
I promised you that Mexico would pay for all these hamburgers on Tuesday, but instead, I’ve decided to shut down your restaurant and withhold all payments until YOU pay for all my hamburgers!
The fact that they oppose what the real border experts have told them works. Somebody does know what they are talking about because they live it every day. That somebody is not Chuck and Nancy. If they went down to the border and actually got schooled a little, maybe they would see the light?
If we we’re going to start indiscriminately assigning unearned credentials to entry level positions should we start calling janitors sanitation experts too?
Actually not it’s not. Let’s take a look at that incorrect number you cite. (BTW – When making up numbers don’t pick one’s that end on “0” or “5” it’s easier to fool newbies that way.)
“The NBPC’s survey, of more than 600 agents in two of the Border Patrol’s busiest sectors, found just the opposite: A stunning 89 percent of line agents say a “wall system in strategic locations is necessary to securing the border.” Just 7 percent disagreed.”
Notice the bolded part of the source of your incorrect claim. That’s right the survey was for barriers “in strategic locations”, not a 2000 mile wall across the southern border.
You are misinformed. Washington bureaucrats are not the experts. They don’t set policy either. DHS, ICE and the border patrol are the experts. And they are all still hard at work. Policy is set by The executive, legislative branches and DHS. By ignoring the advice of real experts, Chuck and Nancy are make decisions from a position of ignorance. They really need to sit down with people who actually know what they are talking about.
