The Border Wall
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2019 3:13 pm
Okay, I am not posting this because I think we should have a border wall, or not have a border wall. I read something along these lines a few years ago, so the problem is not even new. I am simply trying to show that there are many reasons at least some people think this is the right solution, and not all of them are stupid and unreasonable. Ultimately, to me anyway, the international banks and corporations have created all these problems in other countries, and are a huge part of the problem. And those who badger their way into these lofty positions of power (for the most part, I realize there are exceptions) as congressmen and senators are not much different than back in the day when people paid indulgences to wipe the slate clean of their sins. Unfortunately, most people can be bought off, it turns out. Also, nothing new. I would certainly not like to live where some of these farmers and ranchers live. And no, I don’t have a truly good solution, unless someone, somewhere, in a position of authority, actually starts to address the real issues, which is unlikely to happen. We have a problem (that was created on purpose), and, as always, they have a solution they are trying to sell the public. And, much like Charlie Brown, the public seems to fall for it every time. Plus, they love to create more division amongst people. (Kind of like the whole vaccine issue, but that is a whole other post!)

From a Friend of our Family: for those living close to the border in Texas, the crisis is all too real on the boarder of the US & Mexico. This is from the perspective of someone who lives with this every day. They are not secure in their homes behind walls like all of congress is . Maybe congress should walk a mile in these people's shoes. The urgency to have a wall built at the border may not seem like a crisis for some. One such person is Kari Wade, who, with her family, owns a ranch just 50 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.
The border rancher recently responded to a Facebook comment when someone asked, "Where's the fire" in regards to the urgency of President Trump to build the wall at the U.S.-Mexico border:
Just read a comment on another friends post and the comment said, "Where's the fire?"...as in reference to building the wall/more technology on the border states. Let me tell you where the fire is:
The "fire" is finding dead bodies on your ranch, the "fire" is finding domestic pig ears in your drinkers when there isn't a domestic pig for 25 miles, the "fire" is waking up to unknown people talking in your attic, the "fire" is dogs barking all night when your closest neighbor is 7-25 miles depending on the direction to just realize there are people outside your barn, the "fire" is having to come home after dark and have to carry a rifle to go feed your livestock after BP tells you that they only caught 9 of the 15 they are looking for. The "fire" is making a choice..do I take my child with me to a dark barn to feed and hold the flashlight or lock him in the house, so you lock him in the house and call a friend to let them know he's home alone and if they don't hear back from me to come check on us. The "fire" is you don't feel comfortable letting your child play outside without being in eye shot of them. The "fire" is having large drug busts on your ranch. The "fire" is feeling sick to your stomach every time the helicopter swirls your house because you know they are chasing people because you can hear them on the speaker talking to them. The "fire" is seeing the BP camera set-up 1/2 mile from your house. The "fire" is coming home after dark...your children are driving in front of you as one is of age to drive, and there are officers on your road watching illegals 1/4-1/2 mile from your house and you have to call your children and tell them to keep driving, don't stop at the house. The "fire" is coming home to your backdoor wide open.
The "fire" is real for me, my family, and my community.
