https://nypost.com/2018/01/13/we-already-have-a-border-wall-and-it-works/ When charges of “racism” and “xenophobia” fail, Democrats’ fallback argument against President Trump’s proposed border wall is that it simply “won’t work,” so why waste billions building it? Tell that to the residents of El Paso, Texas. Federal data show a far-less imposing wall than the one Trump envisions — a two-story corrugated metal fence first erected under the Bush administration — already has dramatically curtailed both illegal border crossings and crime in Texas’ sixth-largest city, which borders the high-crime Mexican city of Juarez. In fact, the number of deportable illegal immigrants located by the US Border Patrol plummeted by more than 89 percent over the five-year period during which the controversial new fence was built, according to Homeland Security data I reviewed. When the project first started in 2006, illegal crossings totaled 122,261, but by 2010, when the 131-mile fence was completed from one end of El Paso out into the New Mexico desert, immigrant crossings shrank to just 12,251. They hit a low of 9,678 in 2012, before slowly ticking back up to a total of 25,193 last year. But they’re still well below pre-fence levels, and the Border Patrol credits the fortified barrier dividing El Paso from Mexico for the reduction in illegal flows. And crime abated with the reduced human traffic from Juarez, considered one of the most dangerous places in the world due to drug-cartel violence, helping El Paso become one of the safest large cities in America. Before 2010, federal data show the border city was mired in violent crime and drug smuggling, thanks in large part to illicit activities spilling over from the Mexican side. Once the fence went up, however, things changed almost overnight. El Paso since then has consistently topped rankings for cities of 500,000 residents or more with low crime rates, based on FBI-collected statistics. The turnaround even caught the attention of former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and other Obama administration officials, who touted it as one of the nation’s safest cities while citing the beefed-up border security there.

Why so nasty? I was just reminding you to put Depends on your shopping list. You don't want a repeat of that last instance, now do you? -

Depends. -
You're chasing a lost cause. Asking a Canadian to think is like asking Gleeful Gator not to shithispants.

I used "dead cat bounce" the other day and have been looking over my shoulder for PETA ever since. -
This whole Trump Tower deal in Russia is farcical. I'm familiar with real estate development and I haven't seen one specific regarding the deal. The LOI that purportedly Trump's organization had was most likely an agreement with an entity in Russia who was to find a location for a fee. No location, price or any due diligence specifics have been quoted. There was no f'n deal.

Congrats on losing the weight if you needed to. Whatcha do, switch to low fat Doritos after a toke or two? -
To those of you saying that Mitch McConnell was hiding from AOC & gang you are sadly mistaken. He was in his office working. They went to the wrong f'n office.

A proper tailored or fitting dress shirt is essential. Tucker Carlson is an example of what not to wear. He's better than he was but still pretty shabby. Pet peeve---button down collars with suits or God forbid, double breasted jackets. For me, button down collars are to be worn with sport jackets. -

Coming from you that's real praise. It's not often that my dirty sock puppet shows me such affection.

Can you unequivocally state that you are not now, never have and won't in the future be a pedophile? Have you ever admired a young lady from behind and then felt embarrassed when she turned around and you discovered that she was way too young for you to have those thoughts? Don't get mad, we ask everyone who we think just might be an online version of Uncle Fred these same questions.

Why does everybody have to pick on Gleeful Gator so much? -
Here's a little more on that: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=2857672&page=1

Book? We don't need no stinkin book. The fact (proven here many times) that you laugh at U.S. military deaths and revel in the possibility of bad things for America is firmly entrenched in PPP lore.

Gleeful Gator is laughing and hoping for a recession. One would think that the recent military deaths in Syria would have been enough to get him roaring with laughter, but obviously not.
