Called bollard fencing. they also want technology and drones. in fact, its what the democrats included in the omnibus bill last year. they did play some politics by saying, oh, were only going to replace stuff. were not going to put any new fencing up. that was to tamp down the notion that the president deserved any credit, lets be honest, but take a look at his tweet. he wants you to think that he is behind what is already up there. look at it, much of the wall has already been built. this is n...

Barriers. >> if this doesnt work out, we will do it or are you still thinking about it? >> if we dont make a deal, i would say 100%. i dont want tosay 100% because maybe something else comes up. but if we dont make a deal, i would say it would be very surprising to me that i would not declare a national emergency and just fund it through the various mechanisms. there is more than one mechanism. there are various mechanisms. the lawyers tell me 100%. it would be nice if we can make a deal, but de...

People or has he been honest with them? >> poppy, i understand your point, i just dont agree with it. i dont think it is relevant to this discussion. the only real relevant issue to this if you strip away the politics and personalities and dislike for each other is can you seal a 1,900 mile border without using in part a wall or a physical barrier? i dont care what you call it. you dont have to call it a wall. i think experience shows both in the united states and israel, in saudi arabia, in bul...
