Republicans want to end benefits to people they made jobless as Unemployment reaches 38.6 Million

Give me proof from any source, Republican or otherwise that claims this happened.
At least the pace was about a mile every day during last September. I'm not sure what the speed is right now. Corona may have slowed it down, I don't know, but I think I heard that corona has not been slowing it down.

I can't even find any source that says the wall is not being built, not even from the people that hate Trump. I don't know where you even got that fake news from.

Jack, I want to be friendly to you because some parts of some of my recent comments to you might look not as much friendly.
I'm a very friendly person in general. I usually keep politics and friendship completely separate. I'm generally a very friendly and hospitable person to everyone even if on online i might not seem that way.
Jack, I understand completely. We are both very similar this way. We are both extremely friendly and caring people, we both like and respect each other a lot. We are both very smart. And we both do not like to be wrong, because we are both 95% of the time perfectly right about everything. So if we disagree, we talk in a way that does not sound as much friendly, but we really are very friendly people.

Apparently this is fake news, this is just from 3 days or so ago,
Donald Trump has built just THREE MILES of entirely new border wall where no barrier existed before, Department of Homeland Security reveals
https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8361947/amp/Trump-built-just-THREE-MILES-entirely-new-border-wall.html

The thing your referring to is repairing pre existing fencing, not building the new border wall where no wall existed.
 
Jack, if you have 50 miles of a little 75 year old cattle fence that is nothing but wooden posts and thin wires pulled across with big gaps in between the wires, and fallen down in many places, is that an actual border? Should it be left like that? Is that doing anything? Because that is basically all that there was for huge sections of the border. If even that much, huge sections had even less than that. That's why everyone can just walk in, all they have to do is step over a 4 foot high chainlink fence or some little wooden boards with gaps they can just walk right through. Here are some actual pictures of the US Mexico border fences that you think are so perfect and impenetrable quality that Trump is just wasting his time with the new wall. "Why are you replacing it? It was good enough already! That doesn't count as building a wall since there was a fence there already!"

Here is the new wall next to the old one it's replacing.

So yes, every mile of wall that has been being built is all new wall. Where it has replaced worthless dilapidated cattle fences that anyone in the world can just walk right through, replaced with an actual and secure border, that is a new and secure wall being built.

Jack, if the door to your house was made of tissue paper and had many holes through it, and you removed the tissue paper and put in an actual thick wooden door with locks on it. Would you be saying "That's fake, that's not a new door, there already was a door there!" Or would you realize that it is important to have a real actual door, and that the tissue paper that anybody can effortlessly stick their hand right through it was not doing anything to help.

It's simple. You got caught in a lie, but you are too proud to ever change your mind, so you are grasping at straws trying to find some way out of admitting that you are wrong. Wall is being built a mile every day. And the new wall has stopped 80% of all illegal immigrants in that area. And the only reason it's only 80% and not 100% is because they haven't finished building it yet so they ran around the edge. But nobody has ever really gotten across that new wall ever before if you don't count going around the unfinished edge.
