Mainecat Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 All 4 Living Former Presidents Contradict Trump's Claim That They Support Border Wall Source: Huff Post 01/07/2019 04:07 pm ET Trump falsely boasted that “some of them have told me that we should have done it.” All four living former presidents deny telling Donald Trump that they support his long-promised border wall, contradicting the president’s false claim that his predecessors “told me that we should have” built the wall. “This should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me, and they all know it,” Trump said during a news conference on Friday. “Some of them have told me that we should have done it.” On Monday, former President Jimmy Carter joined the three other living former presidents in confirming that Trump lied about the claim. “I have not discussed the border wall with President Trump, and do not support him on the issue,” Carter said in a statement through his presidential center. Spokesmen for former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush told Politico Friday that neither of them had discussed the border wall with Trump. Former President Barack Obama’s spokesman declined to comment. ...........................

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 8, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 8, 2019 In 2006, Senator Obama Said “Better Fences And Better Security Along Our Borders” Would “Help Stem Some Of The Tide Of Illegal Immigration In This Country.” “ ‘The bill before us will certainly do some good,’ Obama said on the Senate floor in October 2006. He praised the legislation, saying it would provide ‘better fences and better security along our borders’ and would ‘help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country.’” (Annie Linksey, “In 2006, Democrats Were Saying ‘Build That Fence!’” Boston Globe , 1/27/17) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 8, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) For his part, Clinton is still a little broody. In his autobiography "My Life," published in 2004, he bitterly reflected on another of his brushes with immigration policy. In 1980, when Clinton was governor of Arkansas, the Carter administration told him that some of the Cuba refugees from Mariel would be moved to a detention center in his state. Clinton said he didn't want criminals and mentally ill people housed in Arkansas. Sorry, said the White House, there's no place else to put them. “We still have a base at Guantánamo, don’t we?" retorted Clinton. "And there must be a gate in the fence that divides it from Cuba. Take them to Guantánamo, open the door, and march them back into Cuba.” https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article214031789.html Edited January 8, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Pence is covering up for Trumps wall statement Pence: Trump has 'impression' that previous presidents wanted to build wall Source: The Hill Vice President Pence on Tuesday said President Trump has been given the "impression" that previous presidents wanted to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall, following claims from Trump that former presidents had told him that they wanted to build a wall. Spokespeople for multiple former presidents, including former President Carter, Clinton and George W. Bush, in recent days have publicly denied that they had discussed the prospect of a border wall with Trump. Pence did not say that the former presidents made the comments directly, but said that Trump has said that he had gotten the "impression" from former presidents that they wanted the barrier built and said that he has seen video clips of previous presidents "talking about" border security's importance. "I know the president has said that that was his impression from previous administrations, previous presidents," Pence said during an interview on NBC's "Today Show" that aired on Tuesday.

The point is the {TDS Trump Defense Syndrome} the lying fuck said Mexico would pay for the WALL, he lies about everything involved with the border problem, along with just about everything else he talks about. With the wall we will still have them, the question is, what is the best way to stop it? For me, illegals have little to no effect on my life and many of the people who bitch most about feel no ill effects either. There should be no illegal entries. No, the current system isn't working and the wall will in no way will end the problem. We need to have the people who are here already illegally, be registered and made legal, that takes care of 2/3's of the problem. More guards on the border, more points of entry staffed to provide legal documents for people entering our country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 further more more guards ok did you know a border agent gets full pension in 20 yrs . and they won't even take you in to training if you are over 30 ? start adding those costs up over the rest of your life . and you are assuming adminastations in coming years will even fund more staff. if anything you need more physical structure to get by with less man power .
