Congress gave Both Obama & Bush for the wall. Where did that money go ? Because Trump will not line congress pocket, he will actually build that wall.. Just as he USA funded 3 other countries walls.

The same people that are opposing the wall are the same one that wanted it before Trump took office, get over with it already, build the wall. I’m tired of the elementary school antics.

The "hate Trump" syndrome is proving to be "hate America". These miscreants and scoundrels in Congress only care about power and money. Just look at Venezuela to see your future. Wake up America!

This problem has been ignored and shoved under the rug for over 4 1/2 DECADES (that's over 45 years!). If you had lived in So. Calif. during those years you would be aware.

If our country does not need a wall, then Pelosi and the rest of the Dems don't need one.

Because it costs to much money and it’s dangerous to let people come in without vetting process and it’s illegal!

This is one of his key points during the campaign for which he became president. We, me are proud of our President with balls to stand against these corrupt lying politicians.

Illegal immigration is a big and real problem that US has been facing for long. It gets worse each day as they bring along illegal commodities and evil intentions with them. This is why we need a wall

No because that would be caving into the Dictator Trump and his clown family that took over the WH

If you support Trump then you need to go back to school and get an education. There's no excuse for being dumb.

No emergency, situation at border is not as bad as it was 10 years ago. It would be an abuse of power and the court challenge would waste more time and money.

Declaring an emergency when there is no emergency won't occur even if he does try it. It will be tied up in the courts. It's just another ploy by this fraud of a president.

A wall will not stop people from trying to enter. They will tunnel under the wall of climb over it. Total waste of money

This isn't a dictatorship (yet). Most people feel a 5.7 BILLION wall is not cost effective. It is only a vanity wall!

The thing is...the real experts who are AT the border trying to protect the border say we need some more wall. You can't stop all the leaks, but the more you plug the easier their job is.

In spite of the lies of Trump, and the allegiance of his mindless followers, there is not "invasion" of our borders. The "threat" will be the lack of farm workers at harvest time.Look at Obama in 2012

I support the wall, but it has to be done right. If it's ABSOLUTELY necessary to give workers their money so they have food......MAYBE.

Hell no! His campaign promise was Mexico to pay but they say NO so his promises is nil and void. Most of us do not want the damn wall! Stop holding the Federal workers hostage!

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
