San Antonio has no wall around it. It never has. I think the Alamo might have had one, but it didn't help.

Trump cites San Antonio as an example of a city where a border wall has worked. Its located 150 miles north of Mexico and there is no wall.

(16,785 posts)I noticed that this past March when we toured the Alamo on the 182nd Anniversary of the final seige. Costumed re-enacts were about, as were the descendants of Americans who died there, plus those interested in what was taking place. The next day, we went back into the city center and did the Riverwalk. Once again, hordes of people running amok.
I am being There was no such thing taking place. San Antonio is is a lovely, friendly city. Not as Conservative as it is made up to be. Neither is Dallas/Fort Worth, or even Austin. We still had our Clinton/Kaine bumper sticker on the Chevy Cruze and NO ONE gave us grief. Many times, we had thumbs up from other drivers. Oklahoma and Kansas were another story all together as we had several run in with MAGAts.

(7,503 posts)wrote or spoke about how much worse it would have been without the wall. I often ask myself would the outcome have been different if Bowling Green had had one.

And he was wrong about El Paso, too! It was never dangerous...and he ridiculed the fence there...

The second was a border fence constructed as a result of the Secure Fence Act of 2006. But claiming that the construction of that fence transformed the city from one of the most dangerous in the country to one of the safest, as the president said, doesnt hold up
