The Wall is Coming

Posted On 25 Dec 2016

Since the election, there’s been speculation about whether or not Donald Trump will actually carry through on the biggest single promise of the campaign: To build a wall across the southern border of the United States (and to make Mexico pay for it). In his first interview after the election, Trump assured 60 Minutes that the wall would be built, though he conceded that he would be fine with “some fencing” in the appropriate areas.

Liberals blasted him, saying he was already doubling back on his tough campaign talk. His supporters, meanwhile, reacted in one of three ways: “We knew all along that was just talk,” “We would be fine with ‘some fencing’ too,” or “This guy is about to betray us on illegal immigration, big league.”

Whether you fall into Category 1 or 3 depends on how you viewed the wall talk all along. Did you see it as something that would become a physical reality if Trump became president? Or did you see it as a symbol of an administration that would actually enforce the laws of the United States? In other words, is the important part that we stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, or is the wall a non-negotiable?

Either way, it’s beginning to look like the people in Category 2 will be vindicated. There is every indication that the wall will be built and it will be a top priority. Whether Mexico pays for it or not remains to be seen, but the president-elect is definitely moving forward with the construction plan.

On Saturday, The (failing) New York Times sat down with Democrat Henry Cuellar, a Texas congressman who said he spoke with Border Patrol officials last week. The officials told Cuellar they were contacting him at the request of the Trump team.

Cuellar, who represents a section of Texas with more than 200 miles of Mexican border, said the officials wanted to hammer down the best location for the wall.

“I’m one of the few congressmen who doesn’t have a fence in his area,” Cuellar told the Times. “They asked us to put some locations down, so we talked about areas they’d proposed and some infrastructure, whether it’s a wall or fencing.”

Cuellar said that the agents argued against fencing in the Laredo area but that Trump’s people were firm.

“The Trump headquarters came back and said no,” Cuellar said. “The Trump people wanted to see suggestions as to where a fence or wall could be put.”

The wall may not look exactly like Trump imagined. It may not be funded with a dime of Mexican money. It may include some fencing.

But a wall there will be. Bank on it.

Well there is more ways you can skin a duck. We have enough people that can be put on our borders to stop this coming in to our country. We can do this we can un do what Obama has started with letting these people into our country.

It is very sad that our first African-American President will be judged in history as the most inept, corrupt, wasteful, subversive, disruptive and divisive President ever. A man twice elected because of the color of his skin rather than the content of his character.

        I agree he is a zebra, but he could be purple with pink pokadots, his hope and change policies are the worse thing that has hit this Nation. He changed us, we now have more racial division since the Martin Luther King marched. We have more people with their hand out on welfare that ever before, the unemployment number look good until you factor in all the people who quit looking. The numbers are only those who just now went on unemployment, not the true number of people not working.

Most real Americans don’t care who pays for the wall, just build the damn thing.
Funds have already been appropriated, yet, in true DC bull$h!t fashion, no construction commenced—–typical behavior for feckless DC politicians.
They suck!
It’s always a nice comment to say “Go home—–retire”, in one case it worked: Feckless, wretched, Dirty Harry Reid will retire. A great step in the right direction for all Americans!

        I like to think of Pelosi Galore as the reason the DNC is in shambles, therefore, keep her there, that part wont be able to change directions under her leadership. The DNC has been on a steady decline by and through her leadership in the house for 8 years now. There’s more decline to come, as long as she’s there.

Universal Healthcare, Mandatory Govt Paid Day Care, Employer pay 6 weeks Maternity Leave. Tariffs. Sounds pretty Establishment to me. OH don’t forget 4 clowns from Goldman Sachs on his Drain the Swamp Cabinet.

        I have used Moochelle many times, I also use Heshelle, the first wookie, and I leave the adopted girls out of it. She epitomizes a moocher, what thoroughly disgusted me was Barry pushing for a lifetime 160K annual pension for Michael Robinson’s mother, who we housed, fed and jetted on numerous vacations at taxpayer expense. That was really pathetic. 21 more days and maybe we can see the wheels of justice turn and I hope Trump can get Barry on treason, shut down Soros and freeze all his assets to stop the BLM from assassinating police officers. It would be such a slap in Obama’s face to have Trump give Soros over to Putin to handle.

    Oh, there are a lot more illegally created agencies that need to be abolished. The list as you probably have seen many times is indeed long. They were created by corrupt politicians without the true consent of the governed.

        Appropriations expire if not used- there is no money in the bank from any prior appropriation for the wall. Have to start all over. Basic federal fiscal law.

        Basic fiscal law says all the congress has to do is re-appropriate funds. The law is passed and signed. Furthermore, not that much fence is left to finish. Some wall, some fence is the only question left.

        President submits budget-usually gets his way. There have been few Rep Pres since FDR and fewer decisive majorities of repub and almost never conservative fiscally. Not excusing repub nor blaming dems exclusively. Since FDR and Kennedy/Johnson, there has been a concerted effort to change the government from a limited, consent of the governed, Constitutional representative Republic to an administrative state. There are no checks and balances anymore. SCOTUS has destroyed the Constitution and functions merely as lackeys to whatever socialist/liberal/progressive/ valueless agenda promoted by the “ruling class”. With the almost lone voice of the uber originalist Scalia, all perspective has been lost. Education was taken over by socialists in the 1920’s-30’s (Dewey) and we are reaping the whirlwind of the public school system brainwashing and lack of teaching what a citizen of the US should be. Most universities don’t require any courses in the Constitution or the history of the US founding, even for “history” degrees, and such education in the actual history surrounding the Constitution and the Revolution was in short supply in the early 60’s.

  Reid actually should go to prison for the criminal way in which ObamaCare was illegally manipulated into existence by him, Jonathan Gruber and John Roberts. And Reid’s replacement, Chuck Schumer, will be just as bad as Reid.

    When George Stephanopolis interviewed Barack Obama about Obamacare, Obama INSISTED that the penalty for not buying insurance would be a FINE and NOT a TAX.
    He must have realized that all tax bills MUST originate in the House of Representatives and not the Senate, according to the Constitution.
    Obamacare originated in the Senate, and was the brain child of Harry Reid. It was originally called the Senate Health Care Bill. Reid attached this bill to another bill that came to the Senate from the House concerning the military, in order to claim that the health care bill originated in the house.
    The Supreme Court decreed that the penalty for not buying insurance was a TAX. THEREFORE IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, REGARDLESS OF WHAT JUSTICE ROBERTS SAID.
    If the penalty were decreed to be a fine, it would STILL be unconstitutional, because it would have violated the commerce clause of the Constitution by forcing people to buy something they did not want.
    In either case, it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
    - thereasonableman
      
      “We are not the Supreme Court because we are infallible, we are infallible because we are the Supreme Court.” ACA is constitutional until the Supreme Court says otherwise. Congress can modify or repeal and replace. I’m betting on the former because a number of red states are now whining about how many federal $$$ will be lost if ACA is repealed. Get Trump to nominate you to replace Scalia, otherwise don’t waste time and space on the website.

        Not if they can show that Roberts acted inappropriately, which he definitely did. Until he explained to Obama that as a fine the law was unconstitutional but as a tax it wasn’t. That was not his right or duty to explain. He interfered with the legislative process. Not the courts job. The court rules on constitutionality as the law was written. If it is changed it must go back to the House or reconciliation of the change. It was not sent back to the House. The senate immediately voted on the modified law.
    - David in MA
      
      And Roberts violated the separation of powers when he changed the word tax to the word fine (I think this is how it was), anyway he changed legislation and Roberts had no authority to do so. Congress should have called Roberts on this but the chicken chits sat looking stupid.
      - maxx
        
        Roberts didn’t change anything but he was the one responsible for Obama and Reid et al being given the information to change the word fine to tax. .
      - thereasonableman
        
        Only way to call SCOTUS on anything is to impeach the judges. See how that goes over in Congress, even with the ones who have voted over & over to repeal Obamacare.
    - maxx
      
      I have been saying that for years too. After Reid and his criminal staff replaced the entire original bill about the military with the ObamaCare text it was required to be sent back to the House for reconciliation. That is the rule whenever even one word is changed by the other chamber but it never went back to the House which means Reid and Pelosi broke the rules and the rest of Congress including the Republicans did nothing about it. They all knew what was going on if people like me knew it. That entire process should be reviewed because it was a crime. The original House bill concerning the military had an assigned number that was illegally used by the left. The history and evidence are all still there. That is why I keep saying Reid, Pelosi and the democRats and many Republicans were in cahoots.
      - thereasonableman
        
        That’s why Congress needs to change its rules so that each bill must have only one purpose so you can’t amend a bill like the ACA on to a defense bill, but they do it all the time to get things passed that could not pass on their own. Tell your congressmen/women House and Senate to change their rules that allow this to happen. If it slows things down, so be it. “The people are seldom harmed when a bill does not pass.”

    Reid is worthy of a very low IQ as he set up the “nuclear option” for Trump and all Republicans to use; thought he was clever just like Biden and Schumer’s policy of the Supreme Ct vacancy belongs to the next president. Dems are really Low IQ; how about Schumer now too with his glasses down on his face to hide his looks.
    - maxx
      
      Reid is a true low life. I read he comes from a family of horse thieves back in the 1800’s. Too bad the one whose line he comes from wasn’t eliminated in time to prevent Reid from being born. He has set the bar for politicians to a new low despite it being terribly low to begin with.

        He is accusing China of manipulating the currency, and the trade agreements will have to be negotiated… after seeing what he did with Carrier… renegotiation might be better for China.

        Fact of the matter Trump is going to try and help our country. We are a very lucky country to have him. In the end game it is going to get very bad in America before it gets better. We have been mismanaged for years. It will take along time to pull this out. It will take Trump 8 years.It may take even longer. At least he is heading in the direction we need to go. We do have a matter of mega corruption. It will need to be addressed.
      - gotabgood
        
        Sorry but he is not heading in the right direction… you don’t pay a company 7 million dollars to save 800 jobs and still lose 1300 jobs… math isn’t right. You don’t threaten a border tax to only fold under pressure.

        TRUMP LIES CONTINUE..
        
        CEO Mark
        Fields told CNBC on
        Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump wasn’t the main factor
        when Ford
        decided to cancel
        its plans for a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico. “The bottom line is we’re not
        seeing the volume and the demand that we expected for that plant. And,
        therefore, we’re looking at our capacity and saying, ‘You know what, we can
        build that in an existing facility and use capacity that we already have,'”
        he said.
        
        >
        
        The problem is that, like so much of what Trump says, it simply isn’t true.
        
        “This is part of the 50,000 jobs that Masa previously announced,” said a Sprint spokeswoman to Engadget on Wednesday. “This
        total will be a combination of newly created jobs and bringing some existing
        jobs back to the U.S.”
        
        The Wall Street Journal reported on a $100 billion tech investment deal in October, before Trump
        even became president-elect. ABC News has confirmed that the 5,000 Sprint jobs
        are part of a 50,000 job deal that SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son had planned weeks
        ago.

        “All Chevrolet Cruze sedans sold in the U.S. are built in GM’s assembly

        builds the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback for global markets in Mexico, with a small
        number sold in the U.S.”
        
        The president-elect earlier slammed GM in a tweet, claiming
        the auto giant is making a Cruze model in Mexico and then sending them to U.S.
        dealers tax free.
        
        Which brings us to the hollow promise of “Make it in America or pay a big
        border tax” You mean like Carrier? Carrier received 7 million dollar tax credit
        still shipped jobs to Mexico and NO border tax!…. When will it come out as to
        how much GM and Ford received…. And
        with Ford it is the same as Carrier… The
        Focus is still going to Mexico.
        
        Bottom line….. what Trump says is “half-truth” at best. So far his border tax is nothing more than a
        talking point and soon to become a joke.
        The companies changed their minds primarily because of business reasons
        other than Trump. And CEO of Ford hinted
        he got a deal from Trump because of environment under Trump seems better….

However the “wall” is built, it will be better than the open border policy that Obama and HRC wanted for our country.

I hope the illegals are packing their bags and running for the border before Trump fences them in. If he does, I hope they all end up in jail until we can get them out of this country. They say this is a country of immigrants. It is, Legal immigrants, not illegal aliens. Everybody that has come here illegally has broken the law, if the meaning of illegal hasn’t been changed, and should be deported. If they want to come back legally, that’s the way to do it, otherwise stay out..

Any fool knows that an actual wall tall enough to do any good was financially infeasible and only meant as a symbol of an administration that would actually enforce the immigration laws. Tall fencing, more border patrol, using the National Guard are all options that may be employed. Keep in mind, Contrary to liberal argle bargle these people coming across our borders illegally are invaders pure and simple.

Not that you would want to but anyone crossing into Mexico illegally is fined $1000 and spends one year in jail.

Good. Agree with other comments: “We don’t care who pays for it. Just build the damn thing!” We want solid bricks and mortar, not wire fencing.

  I’m with you. A thirty foot high solid concrete wall is a deterrent. A fence is a challenge. But in the short term armed drones equipped with heat seeking devises patrolling the border could slow the influx big time because lots of crossings are done at night.
  - Granny Filec
    
    I STILL SAY RAZOR WIRE ON TOP OF THE CONCRETE THAT IS ELECTRIFIED…….IT WORKS DAY & NIGHT……….WE JUST HAVE TO PLUG UP THOSE TUNNELS………THEY ARE RELATED TO MOLES…………
- Joe Maxwell
  
  Fencing would work fine if rows of coils of razor running parallel filling the space between two fences were installed. Special wire fence wire needs to be made that cannot be cut no matter what tools are used. It should not rust or degrade over time. Rods should be driven into the ground close enough and deep enough to prevent tunnels. Any action around them needs to be detected and action taken. Ground radar can be used to detect tunnels.
  - Susan Lindauer
    
    Sorry Joe, I disagree. Solid concrete bricks and mortar are strongest & most enduring. Look at the Great Wall of China built thousands of years ago. It’s magnificent and timeless, built to survive all time itself. That’s what America wants here!
  - Daniel Brofford
    
    Some fence is fine Joe. Look
    At all the prisons in America and very few of them have walls. Most of them are fences and it keeps people in who would like to get out more then those people want to get in.

I say send all of the able bodied “government welfare” recipients down to the border and start working on building the wall. If they refuse all benefits are eliminated. If they want to eat they need to work like every other taxpayer. If they don’t like it leave America. Nobody is stopping them from going to someplace they like better.
I read an article a while back that said a conservative estimate could produce enough 30 ft. high by 15 ft. wide concrete panels manufactured at multiple sites and erected to create 150-200 miles of wall a month. The panels are held in place by steel girders driven 20 feet into the ground and the panels slid in place by cranes. Could be completed in less than 24 months. Some of the money was already appropriated by Congress during Bush’s term.

  Better ask the farmers and ranchers along the TX border what they think- they stand to lose grazing and farm land if the wall is built. There is No Money. Appropriations, if ever made, expire if not spent- basic federal fiscal law. And forget about a new CCC building it- you couldn’t get that thru even a republican congress- big highway construction contractors will want the work, just like putting in noise abatement wall or flood wall- big $$$ with opportunity for cost overruns and change orders- and just the design work will take years. Think of another plan.

See how very quickly ppl would stop entering the US illegally if they were shot…if they knew they stood the chance of being killed if they try to sneak over the border, they would stop coming. It would be a lot cheaper then a wall or fence. These ppl know right from wrong..they choose the wrong. A big majority of these ppl come here and live for free and they commit criminal acts. They should be put out of our misery.
Timothy Raffety

Mexicans “WILL” pay for the wall if Trump takes the millions of dollars being confiscated from the drug cartels who are trying to smuggle that money back into Mexico from the sales of their drugs up here in America, it’s a perfect use for all that confiscated money, but that’s just my opinion.

In addition to the wall something will need to be done about all of the tunnels that are used. Find them and set off dynamite to permanently block them. If there is anyone inside, well too bad.

Bullets can be made to rain down, Why has this not been used by the US Army or US Citizens needing to make a point or make a difference ? Rain down means just like howitzers, tanks and battle ships shooting miles away through trajectories of shooting up at 45 degrees angles, Your “Boy’s First 22 caliber riffle” That Marlin 18 shot tube feed 22 long riffle can rain down, It’s likelihood of actually doing any or much damage is almost non existent, But it’s ability to shut down a parking lot of any mall etc that is still following extreme affirmative action against White American employees is quite possible until they put the 70% of White Americans that populate the USA into their businesses at a 70% level and of course still be fair and employ all people in minority categories in the percentages that they actually exist which is around 30%.

There’s nearly 2000 mi of border between the US and Mexico. Bildo and Kill-Larry built 372 mi of fence on the CA border which works. There is a total of 672 mi of fence already built. Sometimes the fence is better suited than a wall. Take for instance, the Yuma fence: 3 layers of fencing with roadway between the rows. Try penetrating that one and Federallies with machine guns will have you in a heart beat. That leaves approximately 1200 mi left to fence, much of which is not penetrable by foot or horse. And like the idea or not, Mexico will pay the price for that wall, in more ways than one.

I wouldn’t recommend that he makes Mexico pay for it… why should they? Their “undesirables” are who keep slipping over the border into the U.S. … why would Mexico have a problem with that? And what if they say, “Well, if we’re paying for it, we must be allowed to supply the necessary labor to build it.” Guess who they would hire? The ones that would intentionally make it with lots of sneaky little holes from one end to the other, and map out where those holes are to those wanting to use them. Trump had better think this whole process through very thoroughly first.

The Staggering Cost of Illegal Immigration ($113 billion per year)

Ron CelanoSeptember 6, 20164 15

It is no secret that the southern U.S. border is open, allowing
thousands of people to pour into the country illegally. Ironically,
Congressmen on both sides of the aisle in Washington are not inclined or
don’t have the will to do anything about it. Although most support
legal immigration, there are huge differences on how each side believes
illegal immigrants and the security of our borders should be handled.

Liberals generally support amnesty for those that enter the U.S.
illegally. They also believe that ―undocumented immigrants‖ should have
all the educational and health benefits that citizens receive including
financial aid, welfare, social security, and Medicaid.

Conservatives are against amnesty for those who enter the U.S.
illegally. They believe that those who break the law by entering the
U.S. illegally do not have the same rights as those who enter legally
and obey the law. They also believe that the Federal Government should
do a better job enforcing current immigration laws.

Whether you call them ―illegal immigrants‖ or you call them
―undocumented immigrants, the undisputed fact remains that when a person
crosses the border without the proper authority, he/she is breaking
U.S. immigration law. Just to be clear, there may be some immigrants
that had green cards (or other legal authority) that either did not
renew or replace an expired or lost card. This would be analogous to
someone who let their driver‘s license expire and then proceeded to
drive a car. They would be doing so illegally. Nevertheless, to put
all illegal immigrants into the undocumented immigrant category is
ludicrous.

It is estimated that there are between 11 and 30 million illegal
immigrants in the country and that they account for 13.6% of all crime
in the United States. No matter where you stand on this issue, the
facts show that the direct and indirect financial costs are enormous.
The following 2013 statistics were extracted from the website
fairus.org.1 Illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers about $113
billion a year at the federal, state and local level. Most of the costs
(around $84 billion) are absorbed by state and local governments. That
amounts to an average of $1,117 per household. The variance per
household is higher or lower depending on the demographics of illegal
alien populations. Education costs absorbed by state and local
governments are estimated at $52 billion annually. Although illegal
immigrants that work are required to pay income tax, most don’t. Those
that do get much of it refunded because they are in such a low income
bracket.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, illegal immigrants
residing in the U.S. send $50 billion back to their home countries each
year.2 When you include legal immigrants, The World Bank estimates the
amount to be $120 billion.3 That is money that is not put back into the
U.S. Economy.

“Build the Wall”—-it’s a beautiful thing.
Won’t completely solve the problem, will stop a large majority.
HadEnough

WHY are they complaining? He’s building the Wall, what’s wrong with having fencing where appropriated ??
JC

Mexico will pay for the wall—-because every dollar that is sent to Mexico by an illegal immigrant will have to pay a tax of 35% —in other words one third of the cash will remain here to pay for the wall

  Got a plan to enforce the 35%?

Trump will not betray the American people.

I would like to see a wall and a 50 foot moat with alligators; put the fencing on the American side of the moat to keep the alligators in. Digging the moat would be less expensive and we could also destroy all of the tunnels the drug dealers and smugglers have built “under” the border. Then take away the anchor baby law, all of the entitlements if they are not here legally and we will have to put in an escalator for them to go back to their own country. There isn’t another country in the world that rewards illegals for coming into their country. Take care of American first–with jobs.

  “Anchor baby law” is called the 14th amendment, so not easy to do away with. Tunnels are in urban areas, So Cal mostly,just need lots of search warrants and a ready mix truck on stand by. After that all happens we’ll have a shortage of maids, waiters, landscapers, construction workers etc IF and only if US employers fire all the illegals they know they already hired

And get the Illegal vermin out of the country the Illegal Muslim brought In !
Martin Alonso Zuniga

The best wall will be very, very inexpensive: just enforce the Law. Countries that enforce immigration have no illegal invasion problems, just ask mexico.
PS. The monies saved should be given to American retirees, specially those living
under obscene poverty thanks to the corrupt “public servant/hired help/politicians”.

We are cleaning house. We will elect those who will work with Trump. The good old boys have had their day.
MILES E DRAKE

The United States has been given one last reprieve from becoming, as Ann Coulter puts it, a mixture of Guatemala and Afghanistan. We were only able to escape that fate because so far only one state, the Third World malignant melanoma on our Left Coast, has been conquered. The unprecedented and frankly unbelievable “popular vote margin” for the bribe-taking baby-killing bulldyke among Californicators was due entirely to the regime’s voting every monkey, mongrel and missing link that could be coaxed out of the Central American rainforests, with a healthy infusion of koran-toting refujihadis as well. We must not think that they will not try this again, and it is clear that even in Trump states we are only a hundred thousand or so away from permanent subservience to the souks. casbahs and barrios of the Mexamerican Peoples’ Republic. The marxist muslim from Mombasa is not going anywhere and plans to stay in Washington and direct a full-blown leftist insurgency, and if we do not build the wall at the border and support draining the swamp at home the kinky-headed quisling will eventually be back as President-for-life on the shoulders of the mestizos and the mohammedans, just like his childhood heroes Mobutu and Mugabe.
Richard Knack

Fencing is fine, as long as they apply around 50,000 volts to it. Then we can have some Mexican(s) cooking!
gotabgood

Is Mexico still paying for it?
- GODBlessRealAmerica
  
  Yup sorry if it defends you but we dont care!
george briar

Get real if a bunch of morons could build a wall on scull island to keep King Kong out surely the intelligence in this country can build one to keep out illegals.
george briar

Just tell Trump it can’t be done and watch it go up under budget and under time.
cae973

Build the damn wall and have the military patrol every inch of it !!!
The Capatin

Screw the Left. Build the barrier that President Trump is willing to name “The Wall”. A double fence, concrete wall (plus an additional physical fence) A concrete wall with razor wire atop the structure. It really doesn’t matter. Obama’s administration gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase Feckless Socialism. His minions created a larger swamp than the Okefenokee. It will take at least 8 years to clear out some of the wet filth known as “political compost” in DC.
randy jackson

Looking forward to a more secure America.
Larry Good

Get the disease ridden Illegals out of the country that roach Valerie Jarrett brought In by the many 1000’s and still are.
2 parrots and a dog

I thought that the fence areas, instead of a wall, would be only in areas that the construction of the wall would be a terrain issue where illegal crossing would be extremely difficult anyway. I have never seen the terrain along the entire border. I want to wait and see what Trump wants to do and why before I pass any judgement. He will let us know how, what, and why when he begins building and I have no doubt that he will keep us updated on the wall as it is built.
Beverlyrob

The famous New England Poet, Robert Frost, so simply wrote in his famous poem: “Good Fences make good neighbors” and I think if it was so in Vermont many years ago it much be so now. Things will improve once the fencing takes place and those wishing to come to the US will appreciate even more that opportunity. We are a very special nation and want people here who join us in keeping it special.

If we don’t need the “WALL” then we don’t need walls around our prisons. The walls around our prisons keep criminals in and the “WALL” keeps criminals out.
Jose

A wall does not have to be set in stone (pun intended) as long as appropriate action is taken to ensure that the ILLEGAL INVADERS are kept from entering the USA and go into hiding (like roaches) specially in those so called “sanctuary cities” Here to me is a good wall: better control at the borders; immediate deportation for anyone who is NOT a citizen or had a valid visa; prison time for criminals and immediate deportation. I dare anyone to tell me about all the rights a USA citizen has in Mexico or any other country.
tCotUS

Just got back from Albuquerque, what a mess. Garbage everywhere, was told by Hotel Management “do not leave anything in the car you don’t want stolen, also make sure your car is covered by insurance. Reminded me of some third world crap hole.
Get the Wall up Trump……. ASAP.
