Yet another symposium/study/committee/review board/panel/colloquy/round-table/gathering of bureaucratic BS. Instead of taking action let’s study and discuss it to death, maybe it will just go away.

That’s not really fair. The guys hosting this are the ones who built the wall with donated funds. They are still building.

We study things to death. When the genetic, endemic, pervasive criminal activity that’s made Central America the hell that it is gets itself established here it will be too late, the already neutered Americans hiding in their urban caves will be mice ready for plucking by a system more powerful and effective than the governments at all levels.
What we need is wall building, mass deportations of convicted criminals and someone/something to repeatedly present to the public deeply marinated in denial the truth of what’s going on around them.
My trip to the range yesterday was interesting in that the main topic of conversation there between firing rounds was the widespread fear of safety not only on the streets but at home – and the lack of ability/desire to deal with crime. Interesting also was that there was a healthy representation of black blue collar and middle class there (judging by the weapons they were firing) with the exact same worries.
More action, less academics.

I think the symposium is an aid for their efforts to raise money for the wall. Keeps the matter public and in the foreground.
Not everyone has the level of knowledge that you do, don’t forget.

Yeah, and people keep saying they aren’t building.

It’s ma familiarity with it that shapes my answer.
The wall is nice, it will serve a purpose, but it won’t make much of a dent overall – we can’t even get the self-deluded to agree on a wall, and even if we get it built there’s no guarantee that once Trump’s gone or we get a Rat Congress we’ll be able to keep the wall standing.
We’re coming up on 50 years of The War on Drugs, f-i-f-t-y years. Billions of dollars have been spent on tht war, the war itself is an industry with thousands of bureaucrats and politicians profiting from it while the price of illegally imported drugs has, adjusted for inflation, not risen that much. Check the DEA’s site for the price of a kilo of coke in, let’s say, 1982, adjust that price forward using an online inflation calculator and check it against today’s price.
How about meth? Drugstores are still playing silly-assed games with packs of pseudoephed while the media makes it seem gap-toothed Southern rednecks in mobile homes are using it to make meth. Truth is the Mexican cartels have superlabs that take huge cardboard drums of pure, pharmaceutical grade ephedrine. They crank (no pun intended) it out in huge amounts, amounts so large that the stuff Customs or the Coast Guard proudly wave about as having been seized are figured into the cartel’s production as acceptable loss. The government gets to wave a few dozen kilos around to impress the public while truckloads fly up the I-35.
The wall isn’t going to keep the cartel out, that ship has sailed, get used to the truth that they are already here. Either here or next door I’d posted a map of cartel ‘offices’ across the US, centers they operate and coordinate out of. They use the border as a transit point for various illegals but a wall will just cause them to regroup and adjust plans, they have billions of dollars to play with. They’re using ports to move the bulk of their drugs, they have a distribution system long since set up and even if we manage to slow the influx of illegals they’ll make a way to get in who they need in – they gots lotsa cash and those unnamed European tunnel experts will be more than glad to build more tunnels under the border.
We need the people and money out on street corners, in schools and in public restrooms if necessary, screaming the dangers of what’s been going on, where we’re at and the horrors on the horizon. We needs the experts out battering the progs, the apologists, the facilitators of cultural destruction, the corrupt politicians benefitting from it all, the section of the public in deep denial about where we’re at and the Hollyork crowd who glamorize drugs, thug life and immoral behavior in general. They need to be out there fighting the forces that are turning this country into what will eventually be what we see Mexico and the Balkans are today, they need to save what’s already crossed the border and is an entrenched cancer, building a wall won’t stop that and neither will the Federal government who’s had decades to do so

They aren’t just studying, like Congress does, they are actually building.

The cynic in me wants to agree but the people gathered are not career politicians like when Beck and Cruz did the Teddy Bear stunt. Soooooo, I look for the purpose and benefits of this.
This makes for a great fundraiser. Also, many Blexits and #walkaways are just getting tuned into info and news sources we may take for granted. This is a great venue you to report and discuss for those just now getting into politics, a new wave similar to Tea Party wave, then the Trump Train.
