Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sarah Sanders said this morning that in 21 days the wall is being built

Well, technically not in 2019, but was there for a couple week in mid-late December 2018. Camped in my wall tent the whole time and never had any problem with illegals. Once again, same as 2016, saw very little illegal sign and virtually no trash. This guy did invade my wall tent for about 20 minutes...thought I was going to have to call the Border Patrol. May have crossed the border, I didn't check for a green card.



Less than a mile from the border:



No illegals but did glass up 46 coues deer, 17 mule deer, 5 javelina, a coyote, and a bobcat from this spot though.



As per usual with my hunts in Arizona...ended in success.



But if anyone asks, I would stay away from the border, its a dangerous place with all the illegals, ms-13 gang members, and other "very, most dangerous people", and the hunting sucks.

He could start in BBNP where the Feds own the land. Of course, that’s not where a wall is needed but that’s beside the point. His EPA would be up in arms as well.

Face it.... this National Emergency BS is nothing but a face saving device for Trump.

I wonder what would happen if the R's and D's actually started negotiating instead of being embedded in this constant I have to win at all costs mentality.

Declaring a national emergency in an attempt to build a 1,926 mile wall is ridiculous, pretending that a partial border wall is not needed is also foolish.

There is no way that a 1,926 mile wall is going to be built. Not taking into account that unpopular (I used to think by the "conservatives" on this site) of having to claim eminent domain of private property, having a large sovereign Indian Reservation along a large part of the border in AZ, and not to mention the logistics and cost of even attempting such a project...makes the wall a pipe dream.

I think a majority of Americans, from both parties, could get behind a comprehensive plan that makes sense. I just don't think either side has thought this through, there doesn't have to be a winner and a loser. It can be a win all around. Build the wall/fence in the high traffic areas and improve existing barriers where its needed. Use additional funding to upgrade to better detection methods, increased border patrol, etc. in the more remote areas.

Negotiating is not about one side getting everything and the other nothing...too bad the asshats in D.C. seem unable to comprehend that.

Buzz, you are hero to a couple of potential new BHA members here.

Send 'em a BHA membership form and address of where to send the check.

Be sure and coach them in the evils of private land ownership, the Constitution, and 2nd amendment.

While your at it, teach them how to stump a bit better for your democrat senator Tester...

Hell, you even got Texas boys believing their ain't not problems at the border, and $5.7B will build a 2000 mile wall of China down the middle of the Rio Grande.

That part's easy. If the Indians don't agree, build the fence along the west, north, and east sides of the rez. Leave them in Mexico.

Barry,

looks like the problem is in Texas? WTH have you boys been doing all these years? waiting for the Government to come Help You Out?

Now you want the Yankees to pay for fencing your proud, independent, self reliant state?

WTH? Quit typing and start fencing! Take your pliers to the border, not your AR.

Justice Department Files Suit Against Arizona Immigration Law
By | Fox News

Accusing Arizona of trying to "second guess" the federal government, the Justice Department on Tuesday filed a lawsuit challenging the state's immigration policy -- claiming the "invalid" law interferes with federal immigration responsibilities and "must be struck down."

The suit names the state of Arizona as well as Gov. Jan Brewer as defendants. In it, the Justice Department claims the federal government has "preeminent authority" on immigration enforcement and that the Arizona law "disrupts" that balance. It urges the U.S. District Court in Arizona to "preliminarily and permanently" prohibit the state from enforcing the law, which is scheduled to go into effect at the end of the month.

"Arizonans are understandably frustrated with illegal immigration, and the federal government has a responsibility to comprehensively address those concerns," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a written statement. "But diverting federal resources away from dangerous aliens such as terrorism suspects and aliens with criminal records will impact the entire country's safety."

Holder also warned of "a patchwork of state laws" that "will only create more problems than it solves."

Brewer responded by accusing the Obama administration of a "massive waste of taxpayer funds."

"It is wrong that our own federal government is suing the people of Arizona for helping to enforce federal immigration law. As a direct result of failed and inconsistent federal enforcement, Arizona is under attack from violent Mexican drug and immigrant smuggling cartels," she said in a written statement. "Now, Arizona is under attack in federal court from President Obama and his Department of Justice."

does trump need permission from republicans, to do an executive order?...….does trump need permission from the republican party to declare a national emergency ?.....does a president need permission from ether party to give an executive order or declare a national emergency?...….bob

I think now would be a good time for Arizona, Texas, maybe a few other states to sue the federal government over immigration and failure to ever stop the “invasion” of illegals plus the failures to protect their citizens against threats from drug cartels and damage to their properties. Given the make up of the Supreme Court and the fact Trump is in office. Basically, force the feds to have to do something.

Barry,

if it's about the wall, what's the hold up in Texas?
