"You don't need 2,000 miles of wall because you have a lot of natural barriers," Trump said to reporters on Air Force One during his flight
to Paris.

"You have mountains. You have some rivers that are violent and vicious. You have some areas that are so far away that you
don't really have people crossing. So you don't need that."

"You'll need anywhere from 700 to 900 miles," he said.

Still needs to be a wall in that desert.

But where there are vertical hills and mountains are they only need to run the wall up to the base of the hills and put guard towers on the hilltops.

Oh no, anything less than a 50ft high, 2000 mile long Great Wall of Trump is a complete betrayal.

You know what happens if Trump builds 900 miles of wall on the border. He will have done more for border security then any other president, ever.

It didn't "just get shorter."

It's been that way since he first proposed the idea of natural barriers well over a year ago.

Hey here is an idea - get a hobby. It's actually disturbing to me that you let the President live rent free in your head. It makes me wonder about your mental state. It couldn't possibly be healthy behavior, you compulsively post anytime you find an article criticizing him. Should your username be "targettarget" or "jameshodgkinson2"

Seems to me you only need the wall near population centers for drug interdiction and to prevent people from just walking into the country. And when/if they build it, please build one they can't climb like a squirrel. The more impenetrable wall that's built, the more officers the BP has available for elsewhere. You can damn sure make it a lot harder to get into the country. Of course, we wouldn't have to build a single foot of wall if they'd cut off the bennies for non citizens.

Am I the only one who thinks that cutting the regulations and costs associated with hiring legal workers would be a better solution than building a wall?

Crowder did that video recently showing that illegal workers actually get paid pretty good wages. The demand for illegal labor comes from the reduced cost of hiring them, not from lower wages you can get away with paying them.

Make hiring legal citizens just as easy as hiring illegal labor, the market demand for illegal labor goes away, the incentive to illegally immigrate goes away. Seems a whole lot easier than building a wall.

Or am I misunderstanding how that works?

And then the Dems just stop enforcing those regs when they take power again, and we get another 5 million illegals crossing over again.

Self deportation is probably the best method, but can only work under certain leadership. Why not get both?

One of the main reasons we need a wall, besides economic and crime, is because the offspring of Mexicans coming vote for communism by a rate of more than 2-1. Hell, the Snow Mexicans vote the same way, we should build a wall to keep them out too. They'll start flooding across once they run out of other people's money too.

Your trust is well placed. BP and ICE has opened a can of whoop-ass on illegals. Morale is through the roof. BP agents in my AO for K9 training can't wait to get back. Up till now they hated to go back.

For the past 16 years they have had their hands tied due to W's and the Halfrican's edicts to not enforce the law, by god it's being enforced now.

There are BP folks who thought they would retire before they could get out and do the job they were hired to do.

They are making it to where illegals fear riding the bus and train again due to BP being able to do transport hub checks (bus/train stations) that the Halfrican made them quit doing.

Things are looking up.

I never interpreted "build a wall" as making a contiguous barrier across every inch of the border.

It is a metaphor, for all the things we need to do to seal our borders.

Some people are gullible, and take it at face value.

Same with "grab 'em by the pussy".

Geez.
