Drudge shades truth about border wall begun in San Diego: It's replacement fencing, bollard type

It has nothing to do with the emergency declaration, which is what the story placement in Drudge's lineup is meant to imply. This is Drudge the partisan.

The AP story also incorrectly calls it a wall. It's bollard fencing. Trump is prohibited from installing a wall by the legislation he just signed.

Work begins to replace steel-mesh layer of border wall in San Diego:

Construction has begun on the fifth border wall project of Donald Trump's presidency, replacing up to 14 miles of barrier in San Diego, authorities said Tuesday.

The first panels are in place to replace a steel-mesh fence with 30-foot-high steel bollards . . .. The bollards replace a second layer of barrier that worked like a fortress when it was built about a decade ago but is now often breached with powerful battery-operated saws sold in home improvement stores.

Work on replacing a first layer of San Diego barrier is nearly complete, also 14 miles long and made of steel bollards up to 30-feet  high. The old fence, built in the early 1990s, was made of corrugated steel matting used by the military as temporary runways. ... Trump inherited barriers covering about one-third of the border. His administration has awarded $1 billion in contracts to cover 97 miles,  the vast majority of it to replace existing barriers. ...

Trump 2015 called his a wall, Jeb's a fence, a big difference then, now . . . not so much

Ann Coulter: Trump obviously doesn't care about immigration

TRUMP'S FAILING. DON'T ASK ME TO LIE ABOUT IT:

Trump -- and those hoping to be invited to the next White House Christmas party -- refers to this as a "deal." Gen. Custer struck a similar "deal" at Little Bighorn. ... The obvious conclusion is that immigration isn't one of the issues Trump cares about. Those are the facts. I know there are people who are tired of hearing it. I'm tired of writing it. But we can't shrink from uncomfortable truths any more than Trump did in 2016.

It takes one to out one: Stephen Miller betrayed us, too

Libertarian Liz Mair's only objection to the border deal was how hard it is on lawful border crossers

But Israel got its money!

The culturally illiterate don't recognize that he's President Norman Vincent Peale

Marc Short back in the White House shows Trump doesn't care about immigration, but the same goes for continued presence of Conway and Schlapp and on and on

When are you people going to wake up and realize Trump has NEVER been serious about immigration?

Immigration is simply a political tool, like abortion, around which to get the rubes to rally.

Trump never intended to do anything serious about immigration in the first place, and his record of delaying and caving right up to the present moment, and all these open borders hires and rehires, simply proves it.

"Finish the Wall" he never started is the slogan, you fools.

We've all been had.

They think we are stupid, and they are right.

There were reliable sources warning before the border deal, but conservative talk radio IGNORED them

Ann Coulter was right on Jan 25, and Trump made her even more right on Feb 15

Donald Trump is a self-hating fool and a wimp, and so is Mr. Missing in Action, Rush Limbaugh

Only a self-hating fool and a wimp would have signed this bill, and only a self-hating fool and wimp would defend the self-hating fool and wimp who signed it. It's like Steve King voting to censure himself.

Donald Trump has proven himself over and over again to be unworthy of being our leader (repeal and replace Obamacare fizzled, tax cuts for corporations not for working stiffs, outrageous federal spending increases, and now a complete cave on immigration, all in two years!), and Rush Limbaugh has proven himself over and over again to be unworthy of being our spokesman for still defending the guy responsible for it, same as ever.

We need people in charge of our movement who have a killer instinct, instead of the lay down and die instinct on display in this disgusting episode of betrayal and talk radio sycophancy.

Terrible Budget Bill Will Be Used Against Trump in 2020:

I read enough of this [border bill] to know that the things in this bill are a giant middle finger to Donald Trump [By signing it Trump gave HIMSELF the finger]. ... This is an Obama-era policy that has been re-implemented in this budget bill [Obviously Trump was just kidding about promising to reverse the two DACA executive orders immediately ... tick tock tick tock 2+years says the clock]. ... And don’t forget, folks, there are a lot of Republicans in on this [Like Donald Trump!]. ... I went back and forth, too, on signing this or not and shutting down [says the lazy ass without principles who could have read everything being said on Twitter on the Thursday before by reliable people on our side calling for a veto of this pig of a bill but didn't and sat silent when he should have called for a veto like Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter]. ... You can say goodbye to anything we or Trump wants coming out of Congress from the moment the Democrats win the House, over [Funny how Ronald Reagan got tax cuts passed without control of Congress]. ... But, you know, elections have consequences, and there are a lot of Republicans that retired [Still blaming less than 10 retirements which flipped for what was a 40+ seat catastrophe because Trump and Republicans failed to deliver on the campaign agenda]. ... Fifty-five Republicans quit! They resigned [total lie].

Finally, an article from the right which tells the truth about Trump's immigration betrayal

Trump Promised a Wall and Delivered an Amnesty:

 

The president who was elected by the forgotten middle of the country on promises to build a wall, enforce immigration laws, and protect their economic interests just signed into law a bill that betrays all of those promises. ... Trump just signed a law that makes the wall, even if it is finally constructed, less useful because it provides a large, ongoing, uncapped amnesty. Further, the law expanded legal immigration by doubling the cap for H2B unskilled, non-agricultural workers. This is slap in the face to the working and middle class workers who President Trump repeatedly has promised to protect and whose wages he says he wants to see increase.

There's profound meaning in Rush Limbaugh's incessant advertizing for sex drugs on his show

It reflects the impotence of the Republican brand to achieve anything since Rush has been on the air. Republicans have utterly failed to advance conservatism or restrain liberalism for thirty years.

Nobody's criticizing John Wayne for his unfounded optimism about minorities

"I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility".

-- John Wayne, Playboy, 1971

Americans of that generation were generally more optimistic about everything, to a fault. Instead of responsibility, irresponsibility has spread in the interim, and infected the wider white majority.

Right, that's what we elected Trump to spend his time doing
