    Default petey...

    You should get together with the Lying, Hypocrite Democrats, like Nancy Pelosi, and demand she throw away the keys to her house, car's, and all property.

    Put signs out in front of her GATED community that say.."COME ON IN, OPEN TO ALL!"

    Take down all of the privacy gates, and place all credit cards, ID cards, Licenses, Bonds, Stocks, and Mortgage Papers....on the ground.

    That is what Democrats are basically Demanding of All Americans, and President Trump when they insist...WALLS, BARRIERS, FENCES....."DO NOT WORK!"

    By the way... Since we are being so UP-FRONT. Please Post Your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER....

    HERE........ ___-__-____. Some of us would like you to be as honest as the Dems.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    They'll resort to helping the greenies try to stop the wall construction for migration of the Sri Lanka Staring Frog or perhaps the low-flying Frazzled Bumping Bee.

    You laugh.

    We have this fountain darter that lives in the Comal Springs that is endangered. The Edwards Aquifer is our source of water. Comal Springs is on it. IF the level or water reaches a certain number pulled out of someone's ass, this fish that has survived for a couple million years will suddenly go extinct That means we have water Nazi's.

    In the meantime, the city keeps inviting people to come here. I get the growth thing, but that aquifer is actually smaller than it used to be due to development, while the yankees keep piling in. Them and the Mexicans. So every year it's the same old damned thing ... watching the aquifer level. Meaning your $3k yard better not be getting watered if restrictions are on.

    So don't put it past the greenies to pull just such a stunt.

    Lots of misinformation out there. Several sites got it wrong, best to go straight to the source.

    I'm opting to shift it into the new private effort.

    Interesting that they’re now choosing to ditch the independent and verifiable source of fund collection (gofundme) in place of their own private collection company. Can’t see anything going wrong there.

    Just as a quick update on that “math”.
    Trump voters ~63 million people, multipled by $80 is ~ $5 Billion
    Actual money raised so far ~$21 Million, divided by 63 million people ~ $0.33

    Is raising an average of 33 cents per trump supporter considered a success, given the publicity of the campaign and how important this issue is meant to be for trump supporters?

    By way of an update - in the last few months since the last post here the amount raised has rocketed from ~$21 million to ~$22 million, and many miles of walls have been built*

    *probably, or at least presumably, or apparently not at all.

    In the end, still not a whole lot. The funding probably won't even build much more than that.

    At least they chose to close up an area left open for far too long. At least it's an update and the money is being spent, even if it may not amount to much at all. I kinda knew once it stalled at that 20 mil mark, not much was gonna get done at all. Just simply a drop in the bucket. But more than the Dems are doing to help.

    “We Build the Wall” Completes First Half Mile of US Border Wall in 4 Days from Private Donations

    For months the liberal media mocked “We Build the Wall” founder and organizer Brian Kolfage and his plan to use private donations to help build the much-needed security wall between the US and Mexico. Brian raised over $20 million in private donations from over 260,000 individuals to build a border wall on the US southern border.

    In January Brian announced the “We Build the Wall” leadership board that includes: Erik Prince, Kris Kobach, Angel Mom Mary Ann Mendoza, Sheriff David Clarke, former Rep. Tom Tancredo and others.

    The “We Build the Wall” team held several rallies this spring to continue fundraising for the project.

    This Memorial Day Weekend the “We Build the Wall” organization built their first half mile of border wall near El Paso, Texas.

    The Gateway Pundit spoke with Brian Kolfage on Sunday. Brian told us,

    “At the beginning everyone said you can’t do this. It’s impossible. You just can’t do this. And I think that just drove us forward even harder to get the project done. That’s what this country is all about, coming together and pooling our resources and getting the job done in a time of crisis. And we are in a crisis.”
    Brian, a war veteran and triple amputee added, “We wanted to prove to the American people that in a time of need we can come together like we used to and get things done that are big. And I think we’re at a time where we realize that our government and politicians aren’t representing the people.”

    Brian told us about organizing this project, “We threw like 15 people together and we just built an international border wall. So I think this sticks the thumb in everyone’s eye who said we couldn’t do it. They said nasty things about me, about my family, and that we were scammers. We proved them wrong. And this is just the first segment. From start to finish, from the time we found the property to the time we built the wall was 57 days. 57 days! We got a contractor, we got a plan, and we implemented it over the weekend and got this wall built!”

    Brian and former Kansas State Secretary of State Kris Kobach are on the border this weekend as this section of the wall goes up.

    Kris Kobach was also proud to share with us the good news, “There were a lot of doubters out there who just could not conceive that a private group was building a border wall, They said harsh things about “We Build the Wall” And we proved them wrong. It is just really really satisfying.”

    The section of wall “We Build the Wall” focused on closes a half mile gap that existed for years between the end of the El Paso, Texas border wall and Mount Cristo Rey. The gap is across from the Mexican city of Juarez. Currently, the El Paso Sector is the second busiest sector in terms of family apprehensions/UAC’s this fiscal year. Those categories now make up the majority of Border Patrol apprehensions.

    Kobach explained the current wall ends abruptly and then there’s gap for about half a mile between the end of that wall and Mt. Cristo Rey in New Mexico. Mount Cristo Rey sits on the west side of El Paso. Kris said, “The gap is a half mile wide corridor and it’s literally a parking lot on the Mexican side and then you walk five steps and you are in the parking lot on the American side. There’s no barbed wire. There’s not ANY barrier. You just walk from one parking lot to the other.”

    In the past, groups over a hundred in size on a typical evening would often come through this particular corridor. And while the border patrol is dealing with all the people down at the bottom of the gap in the flat area the cartels would be sending drugs up on the side of the mountain with no border control interference at all.

    The “We Build the Wall” organization focused on this major gap in American security. They closed the gap that allowed the two illegal flows, the flow of illegal
    aliens at the bottom and the flow of drugs halfway up to the mountain.

    Kris told us, “The Army Corp of Engineers said it was impossible to build the wall here. They looked at the incline that climbs 300 ft over the course of this half mile and they said it cant be built. We proved them wrong.”

    If this corridor was getting this amount of drug traffic, then this new wall is better than thought, even if not a drop in the bucket for the totality of what is needed.

    But I don't think they should be bragging about putting up 'the wall' either.

    Maybe next they should target the most highly crossed area for illegals.

    Is there a link somewhere explaining where the “$100,000 a day” figure comes from?

    Not really sure. I see no reason to see Kobach is not reputable though. He was/is heavily involved in immigration and border security issues. And in totals, we know that billions and billions of drugs and money come through our southern border every year. I'd have to do a thorough search to see where he got those numbers from.

    It was also a large crossing area for illegals.

    If it prevents any illegals, and stops anything more than 20 mil or so per year, then it was well worth it. And I have zero doubt that this will be the case. Problem right now is that it may only push them into other places, unless or until the Dems stop their obstruction games in congress, of which they vowed to do.
