  1. Both my husband and I had always worked together as a team effort and it’s really been that way for years and years.   Now that both of us have some age on us we realize how much we appreciate each other and what a great ride it’s been because of both of our efforts.  Neither one of us is more important than the other because both of us together is pretty incredible!

  2. I think you could beef up that visa follow up all day long, What does that have to do with the illegals coming over our border? With the pics of the wall that they show that would work or might work, would stop the crawling under and they sure couldn't come over. Very seldom do they come over a prison wall. And I would say that it would also protect ICE, I know they get paid for that job so don't tell me "Well they knew what they are getting into." and look at the money spent on ICE .look at the money spent on the illegals coming here.And you cant say that it is fair to the people that want to come here legally? so without the wall, why not just open it up and let everyone come here? and then when this country is as bad as the one where they come from?? pick a president or if you can find someone that wants the job.

    If you are going to take that position as to the visa follow up then my question to you would be how is a wall going to physically apprehend and arrest illegals? I am not talking about illegals crawling under as much as I am talking about tunnels. Why couldnt they come over the fence?

     

    We both agree that the immigration issue is a problem for our country. It seems than rather than addressing it as a whole you would rather isolate it to our southern border. Why not get a system in place that addresses the issue as a whole?

     

    ETA I deleted a statement about the number of illegals because I have not had a chance to fully confirm the information.

  3. If he is lying time will tell. But it is really funny, you can see Trump telling something on Fox?? and turn the channel to CNN?? and they will cut out what they don't want people to know and they will spend an hour bashing the President.Is this the kind of world we will live in?

    Huh? I would like to see that. I’m not being a wise guy but I mean it, I really would like to see that.

  4. Saudi Arabia has built walls along its borders with Iraq and Yemen. Turkey is building one along its border with Syria. Nobody is condemning them.

    The inclusion of these middle eastern border walls into this conversation muddies the water to such a degree that our issues with our southern border get lost. If you have a specific point you want to make, why not set it out and back up with facts? Like, for instance, aren’t the Saudis and Iraq at war? How many miles are involved? Who is paying for these walls?

  5. I will have to disagree with you on Trump and the wall.Why did other Presidents say "We need a wall?' and if they put a huge wall there, no wouldn't stop everyone but might help.If walls are useless then why does Obama, Clintons, everyone that has money, build them around their houses. Some people cant afford them, so the wall at the border will surely help. But you are right about one thing, Trump would have done what he said he would do and some people don't want him to get ahead. I don't think this would be a monument to Trump, this is the people that want the wall. If you go look at the "Gofundme" there is a lot of people that give there. so it is not just Trump wanting to build the wall. Happy New year to you also.

    OK fair enough and let’s just address one part of the wall concept. You are right about other Presidents supporting a wall. In 2006, Bush authorized about 700 miles of a “wall.” Now, for arguments sake let’s say our southern border is 2000 miles (it’s really +- 1954 miles) building an effective wall covering 2000 miles is a far cry from building a wall around your own property. I didnt minus out the Bush wall of 700 miles because trump has said it’s too little so I’m sure he would want to include that 700 miles in “his” wall. This is my problem with the wall concept, you can go over and under a wall. Drones and tunnels. I would much rather see that money spent on beefing up our on the ground coverage with ICE as well as beefing up our visa follow up. The wall only addresses our southern border issues while beefing up our visa follow up would cover world wide. To me, that just seems a much more effective solution.

     

    As to the “trump monument” concept. I stand by my opinion on this. Why? Because, on his hotels as well as his office buildings, he includes, in big lights, his name. Take as an example “333 Park Ave Hotel” being turned into “TRUMP 333 Park Ave Hotel” or something like that. He is known, pretty much worldwide, as a egomaniac. When I stayed in Atlantic City, I could see his hotel/casino from my room. His name was in gigantic lit up letters with hurrahs (or whatever) was in much smaller letters under the trump name. But whatever. This is too small of a point for us to split hairs over.

  6. Finally got answers to my questions. Just believe what you see. I was so disillusioned that all these places are right. But then again the Internet is always right ???

    Im sorry I havent made any clear responses but with the NYE and new Years day combined with 4 family members visiting, its been a little nuts o crazy around here. Let me make myself a bit clearer. I never believe everything I read and only about half of what I see. That goes for stuff posted on both sides of the political landscape. I always go back behind and look into what the truth is. Am I right all the time? Nope, I make mistakes just like others do. Having said this, what is difficult to definitely assertain is the spin that many of these news web sites post. I dont pay much attention to opinion or contributor articles nor do I pay much attention to information posted by extreme websites. Their credibility is pretty much in the garbage can for me.

     

    Now, do I think trump has some good ideas? Yes. Do I think that he is in way over his head as President? Yes. I dont think he respects the office of the presidency nor do I believe he has the capability to even want to gain that respect. In other words, he respects nothing. Thats all fine and good when you are talking about his running of his companys but not so good when it comes to true leadership skills needed to run this country.

     

    Lets take this wall for instance. I know of no one that believes in a open border without regard to certain regulations to be met. I question all the free stuff that some think we are supposedly just giving away. I dont think ALL of our immigration problems come just from our southern border. I have seen first hand what a British girlfriend of mine has been through in order to stay here. I would like to see follow up on visas granted that have fallen through the cracks. I think the wall is a silly concept that wont work and the only reason hes so gun ho on it is because he would like nothing better than to have a trump monument that he can lay claim to.

     

    This is getting too long so Ill bow out now. Happy New Year to you and yours. :)

     

    ETA. I will probably be beat up black and blue because of this post but it is truly how I feel and is really just a small response to a huge issue. Theres many many other issues that I could address but havent even touched on.

  7. Stacey Abrams campaign slogan was "Georgia Thrives". Kemp's campaign slogan was "Abrams is a socialist". There was nothing positive about Kemp's campaign. Nothing at all.

     

    Ahhhh come on now. There was positivity in Kemp’s campaign, I mean I was positive he was a white supremist by the time he was elected. LOL
