worried about 55 additional miles of barrier wall. that could be a poison starter for him. are you okay with new fencing along the border? i need to know what kind of fencing honestly. what we ve seen in homeland security bills on the border, we ve seen fencing being replaced, we ve seen fencing going up. i am not anti-the normandy fencing out in the rural areas, things that don t stop wildlife, don t harm wildlife but a border patrol to stop vehicles. i need to know what kind of fencing exactly it is but also need to know, does it have investment in the ports? does it have investments in judges? does it have investments in the kind of humanitarian needs we re seeing on the u.s.-mexico border right now.
narrow path on some sort of border fencing. that s the only thing that democrats are willing to talk about something normandy fencing, a particular type of structure. trump would then call it a wall. but i think it seems that the increasingly likely path the president will take is to declare a national emergency to embark on this on his own behalf. i think actually from a political standpoint it s a bit of a win-win for him, in terms of how his base will interpret this. they will be happy he will take action. even if the courts strike it down, a lot of people said it could be a real possibility, then he s able to blame the courts rather than take responsible for himself for the failure to get the deal through. it is sounding more and more like that is an option he may take, just go around the democrats and get it done. we ll have to wait and see on that interesting tidbit, though, on the wall i want to talk to
