MY COMMENT:
The Left is still bullying the President and the American People who elected him:
It doesn't matter whose fault it is that the Gov't is shut down, it matters how and when we move forward. At this point, it is clear who needs to do the major lifting. It's US, We The People of the United States, and we have the AUTHORITY to demand a change. Witness the US Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
I have bolded a few key elements. Chuck Schumer, Donald Trump and the lot of them work for US. We hired 'em and we can fire 'em. I believe The Swamp in Washington, D.C., have become "destructive" of the government. WE have the right to abolish this hot mess and then do what's necessary "to effect" our own "Safety and Happiness." I don't know about you, but without a border wall I don't feel safe or happy.
Let us petition the Supreme Court for redress of our grievances; our representatives and senators have failed, all of them.

Not spending $5 billion on a worthless wall is not "abandoning national security." There are many other means to improve our immigration system than throwing away $5 billion on a pipe dream.

MSG (Join to see) - I just used the idea of drones for example. They can be used in some areas. There are also other types of hi-tech which could be employed. A wall is not the answer. It can be gone around, under, and over. It will not stop in inflow of drugs one iota. It will not stop an person determined to get in. Do you believe a person determined enough to walk a thousand miles to get to the border is going to be stopped by a simple wall? I don't.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Your arguments use talking points from liberal news media. They do not deal in facts. I have worked literally hundreds of burglaries of all types. The vast majority involved unlocked vehicles or structures. Unlike the movies and TV, very few in number involved areas that were difficult to enter such as very high fences, security systems, etc. The bad guys prefer easy pickings with a low chance of being caught.
The first line of any defense is a wall or structure sufficient in and of itself to deter or repel the vast majority of people attempting to enter. In Iraq and Afghanistan, we used high and thick walls surrounding the FOBs, monitored by technology and manpower. We used technology and manpower to control who entered and left the FOBs via entry control points.
People and technology are there to monitor, control, and capture those who manage to overcome the obstacles. They are not, and never should be, a first line of defense.
Technology breaks down and requires constant monitoring and replacement. Manpower is one of the most critical and expensive parts of any security system. Manpower is limited by payroll, injuries, days off/leave, additional assignments, etc. You seldom have the manpower you need, day after day, to control an area.
If you check with any Police agency or security agency, all will tell you the same thing I wrote above. The cheapest and most efficient method of securing an area is a structure and locked doors/windows.

MAJ Montgomery Granger Thanks for that share. The comments already posted show how contentious this issue is. If the shutdown goes on any length of time it will only get worse. Flint and Steel coming together.

A wall might not stop all illegal border crossings but it will slow them down!

MAJ Montgomery Granger
How are the walls working on your house/apartment? If you were missing one would you want to fix that situation? Wouldn't that be a priority for you?
