The US has been
spending defense dollars on military foreign aid for over 100 years. Securing
the US border is the first real national defense expenditure we’ve made since
1865. A border wall is needed to prevent unauthorized invasion of sovereign US
soil. It is the fundamental defense responsibility of the US military and is a
valid defense expenditure.
The border wall is a
necessary component to ensure border security by effectively preventing illegal
entry. It cannot be done without the wall because reliance on border guards
without the wall doesn’t work.
The wall is 2000 miles
long and with 5280 feet per mile and covers 10,560,000 feet. One border guard can effectively guard 500
feet. That would require 21,120 border guards on 8 hour shifts 24/7. Just
guarding the border would take 63,360 border guards at $50,000 per year of
$3.168 trillion dollars per year, every year. The goal of Democrats is to
import enough illegal migrants to expand the Democrat voter base and crash the
US economy.
THE
BORDER WALL FIGHT GOES TO THE SUPREME COURT, by
The fight over the border wall now goes to the Supreme Court.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has stopped the Department of Defense from
spending money on a border wall to stem the tide of drug running across the
border.
They were doing it at the request of the
DHS. Stopping drugs is a legitimate function of the DOD. The administration is
now asking the Supreme Court to rule on the matter.
The Ninth Circuit Court is the most
overruled court in the United States. Every year enough Fentanyl crosses our
borders to kill every American in the country twice.
Overdose deaths average 77,000 a year.
Democrats don’t want the problem solved.
From The Daily Caller - The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court for clearance to begin
constructing 100 miles of fencing through drug-smuggling corridors along the
U.S.-Mexico border.
The Friday request comes after U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam forbade the administration from using $2.5 billion in military funds for border wall construction. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
denied the administration’s request to stay that ruling while litigation
continued on July 3.
“The practical significance of the decision below for the government’s
drug-interdiction efforts would weigh strongly in favor of further
review,” the government’s stay application to the high court reads.
“The decision prevents the Department of Defense from taking steps to
support the Department of Homeland
Security that the acting secretary
of defense determined to be ‘necessary in the national interest’ to stanch the
flow of illegal drugs across the southern border,” it adds.
The trial
court’s injunctions stalled border barrier construction projects in Arizona and
New Mexico. The projects are high priorities for DHS given the volume of drug
trafficking in those areas, according to government lawyers.
