Here are some highlights from that timeline:<\/p>\n
In his speech in El Paso on immigration reform on May 10, 2011, Obama declared that the fence along the border with Mexico is \u201cnow basically complete.\u201d Like much of what comes out of the Obama administration, that was a lie. What was supposed to be built was a double-layered fence with barbed wire on top, and room for a security vehicle to patrol between the layers. Except for 36 of the seven-hundred-mile fence, what was built looks like the picture above or the one below.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the above picture:<\/p>\n So what happened? The article reports:<\/p>\n The first blow against the promised fence was made by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican Senator from Texas, at the urging of DHS she proposed an amendment to give the Department discretion to decide what type of fence was appropriate in different areas. The law was amended to read,<\/strong> The article concludes:<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the bottom line. Back in 2006, the people of the U.S. were promised a border fence. Since then thanks to Kay Bailey Hutchison and Barack Obama 95% of the fence wasn\u2019t built. The arguments against the fence are bogus especially if you look at Israel\u2019s history. It\u2019s time for America to demand that its leaders build the fence they promised. No one can honestly say it wont work, after all, it hasn\u2019t been tried.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yesterday after an interview with President Trump, The Daily Caller<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n President Donald Trump says former House Speaker Paul Ryan promised to secure wall funding while Republicans controlled both Houses in exchange for the president\u2019s signature on the 2018 omnibus spending bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n But after the president signed the massive, $1.3 trillion spending package, Ryan reneged on his commitment.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWell, I was going to veto the omnibus bill and Paul told me in the strongest of language, \u2018Please don\u2019t do that, we\u2019ll get you the wall.\u2019 And I said, \u2018I hope you mean that, because I don\u2019t like this bill,\u2019\u201d the president recounted in an exclusive Wednesday interview with The Daily Caller.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cPaul told me in the strongest of terms that, \u2018please sign this and if you sign this we will get you that wall.\u2019 Which is desperately needed by our country. Humanitarian crisis, trafficking, drugs, you know, everything \u2014 people, criminals, gangs, so, you know, we need the wall.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd then he went lame duck,\u201d Trump said.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd once he went lame duck, it was just really an exercise in waving to people and the power was gone so I was very disappointed. I was very disappointed in Paul because the wall was so desperately needed. And I\u2019ll get the wall.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Paul Ryan began well. He stood up to President Obama on various issues (without actually accomplishing anything). He began as a budget hawk, trying to keep spending under control. However, he somehow became part of the Republican establishment and went down the wrong path. I seriously doubt that he ever had any intention of building the wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday The Daily Caller posted an article that explains a few things that were curious at the time.

<\/a>Somehow the two pictures do not appear to be the same.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNothing in this paragraph shall require the Secretary of Homeland Security to install fencing, physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors in a particular location along an international border of the United States, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain operational control over the international border at such location.\u201d<\/strong>
\nHutchison\u2019s amendment was included in a federal budget bill in late 2007 despite the fact that Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., had a cow\u2026he argued the amendment effectively killed the border fence promised in the 2006 bill, he was right. Hutchison\u2019s intentions may have been honorable, but she didn\u2019t foresee Barack Obama being the next president.<\/strong><\/p>\n
