President Donald Trump recently pledged that the United States would build a “human wall” if necessary to secure our borders, and it looks like some of his supporters are taking his words to heart ahead of his El Paso, Texas, rally — literally.
As Trump prepares for his Monday night rally, some of his supporters have been showing their enthusiasm for his proposed border wall and their concern for protecting our nation’s citizens by linking arms in the form of a line along a part of the southern border on Saturday.
Take a look:

Some sported “Make America Great Again” hats while others chanted, “Build a wall.” Many held up American flags, Confederate flags, and signs bearing some of the president’s rhetoric, including “Stop the drugs that destroy our youth!” and “STOP CHILD TRAFFICKING.”

Their demonstration comes ahead of Trump’s first campaign rally of the year. During his State of the Union address last week, he addressed El Paso and its proximity to the border.
While the connection was later determined to be inaccurate, he said at the time:
“The border city of El Paso, Texas, used to have extremely high rates of violent crime, one of the highest in the entire country and considered one of our nation’s most dangerous cities. Now, immediately upon its building, with a powerful barrier in place, El Paso is one of the safest cities in our country.”
The display from Trump supporters also follows the president’s own call to “build a human wall” if that’s what it takes to secure our border as Central American migrants attempt to enter the United States:
Tremendous numbers of people are coming up through Mexico in the hopes of flooding our Southern Border. We have sent additional military. We will build a Human Wall if necessary. If we had a real Wall, this would be a non-event!

“Tremendous numbers of people are coming up through Mexico in the hopes of flooding our Southern Border,” he tweeted last week. “We have sent additional military. We will build a Human Wall if necessary. If we had a real Wall, this would be a non-event!”

As Trump and congressional Democrats continue to negotiate border security, the February 15 spending deadline and potentially another government shutdown loom.
Eight million refugees expected out of Venezuela. Where do you think they will want to go?
So far they’ve flooded Colombia, Guyana, and Brazil as well as nearby Caribbean islands. Some may WANT to come here eventually, but I think that for now just getting out of their socialist-ruined shithole, err, Venezuela is their primary goal.
There is very little socialism going on in Venezuela. Get over it.
The US needs to rethink the sanctions which made matters much worse than they were before they were implemented. WE made it worse.
You may be right. It’s much closer to communism a la Cuba. Socialism is just a convenient cover.
FYI, Maduro trained in Cuba as a radical labor organizer. Chavez envisioned himself as becoming the new figurehead of Communism/Leftism in Latin America after the Castos died.
Cuba is one of the very few Latin American countries to maintain ties wih Maduro AND the country has thousand of Cuban security operatives performing internal policing and spying on the opposition.
They didn’t get far with socialism when you get down to the nitty-gritty, though. Having a 60/40 split ownership of oil companies isn’t carrying it that far.
Guaido got HIS training from the CIA, so don’t go too far down the wrong road here.
The country is a mess and we played our part in exacerbating that mess.
