would use all this money to fulfill the requirements dhs laid out for where they need bollard fencing and other technology. there is no trump wall. there never was going to be. there never will be. now, he might raid these other projects to get the money to convince people that he did something big. sure, he could do that. that would be the president putting his political future before the safety of you and your family. why? because a wall no matter what he wants to build is not a cure-all. how? the overwhelming majority of terrorists, drugs, and illegal entrants, don t come across the southern border on foot. he is sacrificing all the other begged for fixes by those who keep us safe, putting all of his effort into this wall, a wall he made up as a stunt during the election. you have to understand that. that s why he focuses on the wall. because he thinks it s good for him. he knows it s not a cure-all.
employees are not going to get their salaries. it is in my opinion a very, very bad policy bordering on i would even say an immoral policy to take people hostage for the ends you want to get to. but isn t all of it part of the equation, leader? i mean, there are places where you need a fence. there s places where you need sensors. and we have supported that. so you are open to more of all of it to some degree, are you not? we re willing to talk about that with the experts who can make a determination. you ve appropriated bollard fencing before? well, we have supported fencing before, you re correct on that. the fact is though, i want to keep repeating. we re prepared to make the borders secure, and we re prepared to do it in a way that i think both sides will feel the borders are secure and americans will be safe. and if it requires additional infrastructure, we will certainly, i think, be prepared to consider that. the president said mexico was
crowds, not a plan. proof the democrats offered money for the bollard fencing that you see on your screen right now. this is one version of it. that s what the people who keep us safe say they need more of, what you re seeing on the screen. different stuff in different places. the democrats put it in the last omnibus bill and the proposal had it in it as well. the president rejected both. why if he was about keeping us safe? more proof. a wall or any physical barrier is certainly not a cure-all for our safety as he suggests. we are not a wall away. physical barriers don t stop the majority of the drugs, the terrorists, or the trafficking. why? because they all come now more on planes, more through legitimate vehicles through the ports of entry than on the ground. those are the facts. now the price for the farce. it s no longer just the $5.7 billion the president wants, money that would come
called bollard fencing. they also want technology and drones. in fact, it s what the democrats included in the omnibus bill last year. they did play some politics by saying, oh, we re only going to replace stuff. we re not going to put any new fencing up. that was to tamp down the notion that the president deserved any credit, let s be honest, but take a look at his tweet. he wants you to think that he is behind what is already up there. look at it, much of the wall has already been built. this is not his design. this is the stuff that they have already learned about and been putting into practice for years. you can argue not enough, you can argue not in enough places, but barriers near population centers and the ability to monitor elsewhere and more importantly to have the resources to handle people once they get here, that s all this current reality. it is not something that the president came up with through his own reckoning. the problem for the president is there is no reality to
