In 2013 when I was in the Marine Corps I spent a little over 3 months assisting boarder patrol on the Texas and New Mexico border. As a Sgt I road from post to post with a border patrol officer checking on the posts that his and my men were manning. Spending 12hrs a day riding around with those guys going to every call that came over the radio in that sector was a very eye opening experience. While there I was completely astonished as to how much traffic comes across the border on a day to day basis. In the grand scheme is it a large percentage of illegal immigrants, who knows? It’s not like they sign a roster when they come across illegally. If I have a broken pipe in my house I’m not going to start by mopping up the water I’m going to start by stopping the water from coming in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, $5B IS worth a slow down. Trump ran on the promise of building the wall (albeit with Mexico's money, which isn't working out), but he is one of the few politicians I remember who is trying to stick with what he said during the campaign. The flow of drugs won't completely stop, but any real attempt at slowing this down is a good thing, in my mind. As well as catching and deporting criminals who take our jobs, mooch off of our government freebies, bring gang mentality, and break numerous laws to get here (including identity theft). These are NOT the best & brightest sneaking in. Lastly, a shutdown may inconvenience some, but it may some stop and think about how dependent upon the government we have become, and how did we let things get to this point?

I might be in the minority but I don’t want the non essential government to open until we get the funding for the wall. Yes the shutdown is on trumps shoulders and I love every second of it! Finally we have a president that’s willing to do what needs to be done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this baiting ? Note to Biz - The picture was on another site 8-10 years ago . Not my snowman . Not my carrot . Not my deer . Not my camera .

5.7 billion dollars is nothing more than pocket change to the US government. The Dem's have stated during the Obama administration, many times, that we need to tighten the border with Mexico. It's not about the money. It is the left's promise, after losing the election, to fight tooth and nail with ANYTHING Trump does! For the gall of beating their 'shoe in candidate' of Hillary Clinton. They were all soooo smug before the election. Mere days after their defeat, Schumer circled the wagons when he declared, "we will not agree to ANYTHING this president wants to do!!! Remember the rally cry, "Not My President"?? Never mind the people of this country. Never mind what is right or wrong for this country. It's close minded politics that have shut down this country!!! And a president that will not back down from his promises, of what HE thinks is right for the country. That also refuses to lay down for a bunch of cry baby left wing losers. JMO......

Others have talked about building a better wall, This President has the balls for it

Today's project drying by the woodstove...

Jdubs did contact me, and generously offered to pick me up. I have some stuff going on. But I'm a definite maybe! Will know by the end of this weekend. Sounds like a lot of fun!

chef, compared to the money the US has given away to countries that hate us by past administrations, it really is pocket change. You are a hard working man. With some nice things to show for your hard work. Will you leave your front door wide open when you leave your beautiful home??? Of course you won't. Same thing, but on a bigger scale.

I am sure I was doing restaurant work before you were born. We had white folks and black folks that washed dishes, so I don't buy that they do the work that Americans won't. They are destroying the construction trades here in the Northeast part of the country, and mostly the work they do is sub-par. Pay people what they are worth, and they will work. Give a non-violent American felon a chance at rehabilitation by providing a job as a dishwasher or prep guy since they can't find any work, an illegal is a criminal anyway. Most may be here to work and not interested in causing trouble, but most of the money goes back to Mexico or Honduras. And by the very nature of why they are here and how they got here, they continue to break more laws every day that they stay here.

Just think, if there wasn’t illegal immigrants to work for minimum wage the employer would have to offer more money to get an American to do the work. Isn’t capitalism awesome when allowed to work as it’s supposed to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

especially since it's a thread from 4 years ago. Meat definitely bad now

5.7 billion is 60% of what illegals cost New York State alone in one year. That is a sickening and staggering number. So I am 100% all in for the wall. Even if it only slows the problem. Although, everything I have read shows it will more than slow the problem. I understand that it won't stop 100%. Where there is a will there is a way. This wall needs to include state of the are detection (both above and below ground) so we can make better use of our border agents. It was always my understanding that the wall was going to be paid for using the money we provide Mexico. (Mexico pays for the wall) I don't think anyone ever thought Mexico was going to cut us a check to build the wall. I am glad the government is shut down. I hope it stays shut down until Trump gets his funding. The government isn't shut down because of Trump, it is shut down because Pelosi and Schumer are now against what they were once for. Why are Pelosi and Schumer against what they were once for? Because the Democrats used to run on being for the middle class. The working mans party fighting against the evil Republicans that were only for the rich people and corporations and once they were in office went in a different direction that if you paid attention too did nothing to help the middle class unless you were in a union. Now they have gotten to a point in this country where they no longer have to run on that platform. Now they openly run on a socialist platform where everyone, including illegals are entitled to certain wages, healthcare, standard of living etc. and are receiving a staggering number of votes running on this platform. Once they get enough people to buy into this platform where there is nobody to stand in their way, it will be the end of the United States. Thank god right now we have Trump standing in the way!

Stop it completely? No. Will it help curb the flow a bit? Yes. This is another issue thats simply not going to be an easy fix, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt put the very basic measures in place to begin to do what needs to be done. Everyone was for a wall until somehow it became not PC, and then they changed their tunes to try and pander to a different segment of voters. Now, this thread is going where it belongs, to the politics section.

That’s literally the opposite of inflation, but good try. I have zero issues paying what something is worth that I want, what I have a problem with is having to pay for things I don’t want. Like illegal immigrants! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some crazy wood carving here...

there will always be compound bows just like there is still plenty of traditionals. even if there is a full inclusion, I'll bet majority of hunters that currently hunt with compound continue to do so. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Every once in awhile we really are low on milk prior to a snow storm,and I’m embarrassed to have to go buy it . And this is what a retired guys driveway looks like after a storm , if the darn leaf blower would have started ,it would have been cleaner .

Perfect time to break out and finally kill a dozen or so. Just realized this is national. I better shoot for the loser bracket. A dozen won’t get me anywhere.

I can't compete as i'll lose my amateur status of coyote hunting if I place and take the cash

About 2 1/2 hours for me. Anyone from the Capital District who wants a lift can pm me.

Minute and 17 seconds or so if I roll through a stop sign and catch the one light

Sorry about the light bar talk guys, lets get back to talking about the snowy conditions....

Because Donald Trump beat Hilary Clinton in the election.

Crossbow’s is like paying for sex. If you just apply yourself and work hard you can achieve.

A revelation!!!

I completely disagree that Roberts gives SCOTUS a 5 justice conservative majority on gun rights. Roberts is absolutely the one most likely to tank the vote.

I had to drive the family to detroit for a hockey tournament this weekend. The entire time i couldn't wait to get home and try out the snow blower. What a great piece of equipment it ate threw the snow with ease took me 20 min to do the side walk and driveway i wish i would have bought one of these years ago.

Healthy eats tonight. shraaamp sprinkled with cow massage, parmigiana cheese, and cayenne pepper, sautéed in olive oil, and string beans.

First bottle of the Deconstructed Bomb!, Coffee, is awesome! Pure roasted goodness.

Enough to have fully planned a meet and greet .
