:lol: they are going to build the wall themselves


quote:

1. The federal government won’t be able to accept our donations anytime soon.

2. We are better equipped than our own government to use the donated funds to build an actual wall on the southern border. 

3. Our highly experienced team is highly confident that we can complete significant segments of the wall in less time, and for far less money, than the federal government, while meeting or exceeding all required regulatory, engineering, and environmental specifications.

4. Our team strongly believes that we can complete our segments of the wall for less than half of the government’s estimated costs on a per mile basis.

To show the government how “We the People” can get this done, we have formed a Section 501(c)(4) non-profit Florida Corporation named “We Build the Wall, Inc.” to receive the GoFundMe contributions. Our website can be found at https://www.webuildthewall.us.

If the Democrats won't provide the funding for what the American people voted for in 2016 then we the people will. When Americans see us completing real miles of beautiful wall, we know that we will raise the many billions we need to finally secure the entire border. I am 100% committed to secure our southern border and protect Americans.

They're refunding, but that doesn't mean these people aren't going to be able to get people to re-donate. Or a non-zero number will choose to not take the refund and have it funnel to the new thing.

a lotta border land is some combination of

- very Hispanic owned
- ranches
- recreational

last time this came up I couldn't really be assed to dig up the political orientation of the big landowners, but at the very least they seem to be historically anti wall (because the latter two bullet points have some interest in environmental issues)

They're trying to fund and build it themselves without GoFundMe, and are asking their donaters to redirect their donations to their website.

Only reason anyone gave money is because they knew they weren’t actually giving money away.

I doubt it. In fact, he might have performed worse.

There are conservatives who only voted for McCain because Palin was on the ticket. McCain was seen as a RINO.

No Republican was winning that year.

Border Patrol has also spent the last decade or so burning every ounce of goodwill that might have existed in residents/landowners. They're are a ton of stories about landowners finding that BP had snuck into their property and installed cameras or similar, which potentially endangers the landowners' lives as coyotes and drug cartels don't take kindly to people who are cooperating with the BP.

Yeah, given the state of the economy and the unpopularity of the Bush Administration, I don't think anything short of Obama saying he liked people who didn't get captured would have lost him that race.
