Thread: It’s time for Congress to fund the Mollie Tibbetts border wall

We have fencing ( a wall) between North and South Korea. It marks the line not to cross. But it would be run over without personnel. Our southern border is not a military zone. But maintaining troops forever is not a solution. Okay for the short term, but for the long term we need a "Big Beautiful Wall"!

And what is the cost of a wall sitting there 24 hours a day versus 3 shifts of troops over the same 24 hours? Simple math.

It needs to be!

Didn't I say, if the military needs it build it?

At the rate we are going a Wall will be built sometime between a 100 years and NEVER, the military can be there pronto! This is an emergency!

We are paying our military anyway, so where would the added cost be?

I agree!

So you are for the military making decisions for the country? The military is financed by Congress who also has the responsibility to pay for a wall. So for the military to pay to build a wall they would have to steal from their budget or get Congress to increase their budget to pay for it. Our country was designed to be run by civilians, not military.

And the military can't build the wall any faster. It is getting the decision made to DO IT!

(MOD Edit) If the military needs 300,000 troops along the border, where do they come from? The DMZ has 23,468 guarding 160 miles of border. I guess you short other missions around the world. Lets pull in the reservists and put the entire military on 12 hour shifts.

Definitely think the military would know more about what they need to defend the country than many of the congresscritters who wouldn't know a Rifle from a Pogo Stick.

How's this getting the money from Congress working out?

The military can replace soccer fields and swimming pools in Afghanistan, military parades in DC, and other items with the Wall in their budget.

Our country was designed to be run by civilians, but I don't think our founders thought most of them would be in favor of invaders over the citizens.

You (MOD Edit) want the USA to keep on spending 100+ Billion a year on these invaders instead of STOPPING the invasion.

Who said anything at all about putting 300,000 troops on the border? That would be 150 per mile. Don't insult our military by claiming that many would be needed, and don't tie their hands behind their backs to keep them from protecting this country, their fellow soldiers, and their self.

The DMZ has 23,458 guarding 160 miles while we have 20,000 Border Control guarding 2000 miles---something very wrong with picture!

About shorting other missions around the world, it is time to take care of our country. If we don't, we are not going to have a country to do all these missions around the world and be the piggy bank for the entire world.

Sorry, but the military knows what they want, but not what they need. That is why they want F35s regardless of the cost. When you aren't paying for your supplies you want the absolute best money can buy. Congress is supposed to mind the wallet.

The budget, that Congress passed and the President signed, financed them. So it all comes from Congress, per the Constitution!

That's an extrapolation of the troops on the DMZ, which is only 160 miles long, expanded to 2000 miles.

It doesn't take the Border Patrol as many as the military would use. But we know they are not as effective as full military control.

Like what? The difference in manpower and cost in a controlled border between two countries and a militarized border between enemies.

I don't disagree! It is about the cost of having a wall versus armed personnel as a virtual fence. The wall is more cost efficient!

I'm for the wall, but looking at the post on this forum, illegal aliens are the only ones committing rape, homicide, assaults,

(MOD Edit) Stop making stuff up!
