The wall just got 2,000 miles shorter

President-elect Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful wall’ may end up just being a modest, double-layered fence


President-elect Donald Trump once said, “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border.” But it turns out that glorious promise may wind up being a modest fence.

Republicans in the House of Representatives are hoping to discuss an alternative border plan with Trump once his transition team is firmly set in place, Reuters reports.
It could prove to be the first advance that House Republicans make in defusing the quixotic rhetoric from Trump’s lengthy campaign.

On Wednesday, just a day after Trump won the White House, congressional aides told Reuters that they plan on discussing a less costly option to Trump’s grand — and expensive — wall.
Their plan includes more border fencing and increased patrol via federal agents, many of whom are a part of a labor union which backed Trump’s bid for the presidency.
A double-layered fence would hypothetically be laid across the nearly 2,000-mile border. This contrasts Trump’s vision of a tall, impenetrable, brick-and-mortar wall.

A House Republican aide and an official from the Department of Homeland Security maintained that a wall is not practical, for it would reduce visibility for those patrolling the border, and it would have to be erected on rough terrain, even bodies of water and private land.

Mexico reiterated the fact that they would not finance a border wall — which Trump suggested could happen while stumping on the campaign trail. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto did, however, congratulate Trump on his victory over the phone before saying they agreed to work towards a relationship of trust in the future.

After the president-elect rode the escalator down Trump Tower in June 2015 to announce his candidacy, he said, “I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me — and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
According to the Reuters report, immigration law expert Steve Legomsky believes that Congress will not fund a vast wall, but to save face, the new president and congressional leaders may agree to extend the existing fence.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell underscored the importance of border security on Wednesday, saying that they’ll achieve it “in whatever way is the most effective,” Reuters reports.

Trump takes office January 20, 2017, but the plan’s specifics could be introduced to the president-elect once his cabinet has been named.

There will never be any wall, you can trust me on that. Too many issues to solve.

it's a figurative wall. It just means he's going to crack down on illegal immigration. Yeah, that's it.

I'm still for an invisible fence and shock collars.

*lol* @johan.

I will wager 5000 dollars to anyone that wants to take me up on it that the wall is built by 2020.

Just why would someone want to get a shock collar put on and try to sneak into the country

I want some of that 5000 dollar bet action of BC's

So, the hundreds of thousands of people who cheered for the wal on each and every rally cheered fr a figurative wall ? And Mexico is gonna pay for that "cracking-down on ilegal immigration" thing ?
Trump evaluated the cost of the wall at 8 billions. So if it's a fugurative wall, if means he's gonna crack down on illegal immigration, it means he plans on spending 8 billions on that "cracking down on illegal immigration" thing ?

Also, Rudy Giuliani (who's likely to become Trump's AG) said that the construction could start very fast on some portions of the border where it can be done and then the rest of the wall would be built when all the legal stuff and other obstacles are gone. He was refering ton an actual wall, not a fugurative wall.

Is he trying to lure the people into thinking there's gone be an actual wall despite the fact tht he knows it wil be a fugurative wall ? Is he really thinking there's gona be an actual wall while it won't ? Or will there be an actual wall ?

Also, I'm not a legal expert so you might enlighten me : Can Trump "crack down on illegal immigration" by executive orders ? Doesn't immigration policies belongs to Congress, not POTUS ?

animus was being facetious.

 

[Johan]

Ok, so if animus was being facetious, it means Trump was referring to an actual wall, right ? A wall that will cost much more than the 8 billions Trump said it would cost and that's never gonna be built because of the tremendous amount of issues to solve to built it.

Either way, the wall is a lie.

A wall of nettles and poison oak plants- at least we could tell by all the scratching

its a bummer when poison oak resin makes its way down to your labia or scrotum.
