Tell me again why Trump didn't build his border wall when cons had total control? And don't say Democrats because there was a W Virginia Democrat who was more conservative than liberal...

And don't say Democrats because there was a W Virginia Democrat who was more conservative than liberal so you would have had the votes if Trump had pushed at all for its building. But hey, we've been flooded with brown-skinned people...god that must irk you conservatives...and it's all slo joes fault...I guess because he couldn't get Trump to push through one of his principal campaign issues.

Border wall or no border wall, when Trump was POTUS, illegal immigration was the lowest it had been in 45 years.
Now it is nearly ten times higher than it has ever been.

An Immigration Crisis Beyond Imagining
Even with a surge in illegal crossings in 2019—this was due to a legal loophole that encouraged illegals to cross with minors—the Trump administration had brought apprehensions down to between 800 and 1,500 a day in his final year in office, the lowest numbers in 45 years. Four months into the Biden administration, apprehensions spiked to about 6,000 per day. There were 2.4 million apprehensions in 2022, a daily average of 6,575. In 2023 there were three million apprehensions, a daily average of 8,219. Entering 2024, apprehensions were up to 12,000 to 15,000 per day.

From 800 to 1500 apprehensions per day to 12,000 to 15,000 per day in just three years is one giant leap straight into an uncontrolled humanitarian crisis spreading through our country like a pandemic.

One of the first things Biden did was stop construction on the wall.

Why didn’t Trump get the money from Congress? He controlled both the House and the Senate.

Because it takes all of us.
As long as you open border folks exist, we'll continue with the problems.
Guess there's only one way to fix it.

Your time line is wrong.
Trump had total control of Congress from Jan 2017 to Jan 2019.
The pandemic did not start until Dec 2019.

A whole wall cannot be built in two years. You have to acquire the land first. That takes time.

First he had to acquire the money from Congress.

He could not persuade Congress to pay for a wall that would cost billions and could be breached.

This was long before he had total control of the GOP.

Have to have a filibuster proof Senate. Why do you talk about it. You like Biden's open border policy.
