This is such an odd thing for you to bitch and moan about. This isn't new. It is part of the huge bipartisan infrastructure bill that includes a provision to improve 30 land border crossings on both borders. I see articles giving a summary of this last February. Did Fox just find out about it? Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act SummaryThe bill contains $3.85B to modernize and improve Land Ports of Entry at our nation’s Northern and Southwest Border. The funds are split between General Services Administration (GSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The funds will allow GSA and CBP to execute construction and modernization at all ports on CBP’s Five-Year Plan as well as those identified as a priority for upgrades. Port modernization improves border security while also improving the efficient flow of travel and trade across our land border. Funds are also included for port of entry paving projects, the acquisition of leased ports and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration facility needs. Where's the wall!!?! In Arizona. Cheap and just as easy to climb as Trump's wall. Isn't it beautiful? ![](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/1fbbb32693cc9a83e152cd867699efa563348129/0_107_3200_1921/master/3200.jpg?width=1200&height=1200&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&s=6070118c34364e524dc9d8116cd82c9b)

Ask any border town including cities ran by Democrats if they think the border is open or not Mike? For a president who’s actually never visited the border, I would be embarrassed to defend that position but you aren’t. Why does the President need to visit the border? You’re right, he doesn’t really care. Why would he do something that he doesn’t really care about. Sometimes you’re so wise.

Do you understand that this is about improving the infrastructure at the border crossings at both borders to make legal border crossings more efficient? Do you understand that this has been known since at least February?

As much as you hated Donald Trump he really had a grasp on the border. You close it up and you do checkpoints so you can vet people. It doesn’t mean to stop immigration. It just means to have some effing control. Do you realize just how much this administration has endangered women and children. They’re used in any filthy way possible because you’ve put the cartels in charge.You’ve given them all the power and they’re using it in every sleazy lousy way possible. But you people still don’t get it. It’s all about winning politically and not what is best for the people.

I posted a link to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Summary above. It was passed November 15, 2021. Your post above is a complete non sequitur. I have no idea what you are talking about.

It doesn't matter if the President goes to the border or not, you're going to whine no matter what. If the President doesn't go, you'll complain he doesn't care. If he does go, you'll complain it's just for a photo op - kind of like this a$$hole who showed up in Texas even though he's the governor of Florida. ![](https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/4a795bf/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1280x720+0+0/resize/1280x720!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fewscripps-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fde%2Fec%2F8edac8a84ed693c8405e9f2c9a42%2Fposter-image-2021-07-17t205936.165.jpg) The reality is that a Presidential visit to, say, El Paso, is more trouble than it's worth. It's expensive, it takes away local resources, and a few hours later the President is back on AF1 headed to D.C. Being President is being the CEO of a huge organization. There's a cabinet-level department with 240,000 employees and a director who has direct access to the President whose job is largely focused on America's borders. At any given hour the President has detailed real-time reports of conditions at the border on which to base decisions. This is how the executive branch is supposed to work, and it's far more effective than just showing up at a border facility for a press conference.

In many places one can just walk between the containers.

Not only are they expensive, ugly, illegal, and environmentally destructive, they're super effective! Uh, when they're not falling over in a windstorm, that is...

The best part is that these roads were built to get access to the "wall" and now that the roads were built but the wall wasn't in most areas, it's easier for coyotes to drive up to pick up "customers" than if they had to cross all that scrub brush.

This is how the executive branch is supposed to work, and it's far more effective than just showing up at a border facility for a press conference. you missed the point Ged....these communities are struggling and drowning due to his decisions. Thats a fact. They do not have enough rescources, agents or money. They are being overrun with people. And....these poor people just wanting a better life. They have given their life saving to Coyotes, drug lord slimeballs who could care less about the value of life. The administration has made it incredible luctrative and easy for those miserable human being to operate and thrive. Do you know what disappoints me the most about your thoughts. Do you have idea idea what these border agents are going through on a daily basis. They have families and little girls and to see these young girls that are five or six with dead eyes that show no emotion because they have been raped repeatedly by the very people that have taken all their famililies money? What do you think that does to these fathers and mothers who use their own wages often to cloth, feed and take care of these kids and young woman? And your president cannot be bothered. Your leader has enabled this and I am so effing sick of you people making excuses for a President who could care less about those little girls and he can't even be bothered to come down and tell the agents," I know its hell down here and we are trying to change up things to make it better for you?" Nope. None of you people care enough to make the changes to keep these people safe. You close down the border not because its politically advantageous but because you care. You take away the coyotes business of smuggling these folks and you have numerious secure check points to take care of this people who just want a chance at a future. They deserve it and they sure as hell don't deserve to be poltical pawns by Joe.

You people are frankly as disgraceful as joe. They aren’t trying to find solutions they are just riling up the hoolie useful idiots who are clueless yet again. The title of your thread is to bitch about the money to be spent and in the above post you bitch that they need more money. You have twisted yourself into such a pretzel you have no idea what you stand for or what you are pissed off about.

So, your answer to "these innocents keep getting swindled and treated like garbage" is to barricade them on the other side of a massive wall so you don't have to see what happens to them? How very Christian and compassionate of you.
