As Trump said the other night, nothing he could do or say...
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

I take it that the answer to my question is
Zero.How is construction of the Mexican wall coming along?

The problem is Jolly, is that the lies outnumber the truths, so it is hard to take anything seriously.
I know you said that all politicians lie, and that I agree with. But the problem with President Trump is that because he tells lies so frequently, people start to believe them.

I write tick marks in chalk on my wall. DIfferent color for trues, another color for lies.

Yes, good news on illegal immigration for you:
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/world/americas/mexico-border-migration-trump-tariffs-deadline.htmlAs for the border wall/fence it's progressing:
https://nypost.com/2025/03/05/us-news/trump-hopes-to-finish-physical-border-wall-between-us-and-mexico-by-2029-vance-says/Of course completion of similar walls in Britain, Germany and China prove the ultimate folly of such an endeavour.
It'll eventually be renamed Trump's Folly

Not necessarily, the border wall in the West Bank went a long way toward stopping bus bombings. But IMO highly visible deportation activity and, especially, raids at employers will do more to stop it. I still haven’t heard much about the latter. Maybe one story in NJ. Most of the big employers of illegals are red state businesses.

I think we'll get there.
Right now, the strategy is fourfold:
- Deport illegals that have committed serious crimes, either in the U.S. or in their home country.
- Noem's commercials have a very strong self-deport message...Leave now and come back legally, or if we catch you, you're never coming back legally.
- Border wall and border patrol. The wall is going up, and manpower is being shifted, including the military. Hegseth sent a Stryker brigade to the Southern Border this week.
- Since fentanyl has been declared a national emergency, Trump is putting the screws to Mexico and Canada to beef up border security. But he's sweetened the pot with Mexico by offering intelligence. OTOH, if Mexico had not tightened up, emergency powers allow POTUS to go weapons hot on a cartel.

The border is 2,000 miles long. I believe Trump had about 400 miles of fencing replaced and 80 miles of new border wall. Also Mexico didn’t pay a dime. Good campaign promise though, whatever gets him the W.
