The state of our infrastructure is an emergency and an opportunity.
Last year, I released an ambitious infrastructure plan that would leverage public and private investment to repair our crumbling bridges and roads, build world-class airports, and connect all American households to the internet.
But thats just a down payment. We have to do even more. As a share of the economy, federal infrastructure investment is roughly half of what it was 35 years ago. That underinvestment is hurting our economy and our future.
In my first 100 days as president, I will send a plan to Congress making the biggest, most forward-looking investment in American infrastructure since the construction of the Interstate Highway System.

(16,631 posts)Hillary has ALREADY voted many times to actually construct one to keep out "illegal immigrants."

I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in, Clinton said and I do think that you have to control your borders.

Hillary Flip Flops on Immigration (finger to the wind, as usual)
If something doesn't poll well, Hillary won't take a stand on it. She didn't want immigrants to be granted driver's licenses:
It was a politically tough issue, Elliot Spitzer told the Times. It didnt poll well, but there was no ambiguity about what was right. And if you look at where we are now as a nation on this very issue Its the law of the land, I think, in California, a slew of states, and its not controversial because people know its right and it works. But at the time it was controversial. And because it was controversial she hemmed and she hawed.

(10,476 posts)You got caught in a bit of vicious hyperbole, you don't get to backpedal by linking to legislation that most every Senator and Representative supports.

(10,476 posts)She and most every other member of Congress support sensible border security measures.
But you are the supporter of the guy who was so easily duped by Trump into thinking he actually wanted a debate, so this here is hardly coming as a surprise.

(5,946 posts)China built a great wall and discovered taht the river made it no work - so who get s the river? would this block the US from the rio?
Sorry I just get off on tangents of logistics. I thought another problem was the tunnelling that gets drugs into this country as well. Walls are just two dimensional objects that don't necessarily work well, if anyone else wants to get on a tangent, I have a bunch more questions. Like could a guy fly over the wall in a chair tied to a bunch of balloons.
