The U.S./Mexico border is 1,989 miles long. President Trump has ordered 800 soldiers to help the U.S. Border Agents to prevent 7,200 people from illegally crossing it. Thew soldiers spread evenly across 1,989 miles would average out to be 1 soldier posted every 2 1/2 miles.

The 7,200 people spread out over 1,989 miles would average out at 1 person spaced about 1/4 mile apart. There is no way this small amount of military will hold back that amount of people.

This deployment of soldiers is in addition to the Border Patrol, which is under-manned, and has not been able to curtail people from illegally crossing our border.

We must build the wall! The Democrats are preventing the president from building it. They will not agree to spend the money to do it. For the sake and safety of our country, you must vote Republican in the upcoming election. The wall will be built only if we have a Republican House and Senate.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer has instructed his minions to rebuke anything that President Trump wants, including the wall. They have shown they will follow his orders.

Every Democrat voted against Justice Kavanaugh. Do you really think they all believed he was guilty of those unproven charges?
