Payment for the border wall

[Quetzal]

So, it looks like Trump will be making taxpayers pay for the extension of the wall along the Mexico/US border. But vows that the Mexican government will pay for it later. What do you think? Are you okay with your tax dollars going towards this? Do you think the Mexican government will pay for it later?

For me? I want to see more effective measures for dealing with illegal immigrations. But, I am not convinced the wall is the right way to do it. Whacha think?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

No, because apparently I'm much smarter than Trump, and legions of Conservatives, who think a wall will somehow be magically impenetrable and that they won't go around or under it, which is what they're already doing (though it's not lost on them since they know criminals won't care about gun laws....but somehow they're supposed to care about a wall when they have more money and power to gain by ignoring said wall than a lone shooter has from getting a gun?). A wall is nothing more than a tax drain that really works to fix or solve nothing. It's a damn wall!

I am of the same mind in this case.

In think that they are going to be using drug money that was confiscated to help build that wall. But the wall is not just to keep away the illegals, but it is to prevent terrorist from sneaking into this country. All they has to do is shaved their beards and pluck their eye brows and swim across the border with the other illegals. And if they get caught swimming. All they will have to say to prevent from being interrogated, is Se' Senor and No senor. And then they will throw them back over for them to try it again. I know that you do not want to be worried about your family being blown up into pieces just for walking to the nearest liquor store, and or having a bomb dropped unto your home while you are in it watching the Kardashians. They doesn't have any missiles that goes long distance from where they are from to here. well not yet. But for now, they has to come over here to do their damages.

Not in a million years.

He promised a wall, so he has to deliver. China built a wall, and so can the USA. Ours will just be a little bit thinner in places. Maybe we could hire China to build it.

The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!

Is Trump really so goddamned stupid he still thinks Mexico is going to pay for the wall?

Well in the long run they will be better of, more jobs for Americans, even less crime.

There may be a handful of temporary jobs, but it won't reduce crime. We already have a wall. Drugs are already being smuggled underneath and around it.

I hope things work out.

i am so totally sorry that I doesn't keep up with the Kardashians as many of you Hillary's supporters does. I just like listening to true news that comes from reliable sources. But I do believe that they should put tolls as well for those that are crossing the borders. Even on the other side where they has beavers as pets. If they can make U.S. citizens pay tolls on road and bridges, so then they can put tolls on visitors from other countries.

Have you see how many people are employed near that wall, and trying to catch the people that sneak past/through/over it? Plenty of permanent jobs there.

How will this plan for a wall, which really has never even been a plan to begin with anyways, add more such jobs? Border Patrol isn't going to get more agents because of a wall, and if anything, they'll have fewer agents because a "wall makes it easier to secure" and the wall is going to be such a tremendous burden on the budget that Border Patrol is probably going to get slashed to compensate, especially because "they just got that fancy wall anyways."

We really need a [sarcasm] tag. We're on the same side on this one. Just read my post with tongue in cheek.
Apologies on the confusion though, it's damn hard to work out when people are serious sometimes.

Gotcha covered!
