We've been paying quite a lot for 'no wall' for quite a long time. I'm sure we will be better off with the wall than without.


I have not doubt that you will like it..

It was called 'catch and release'. They'd stop someone crossing the border then had to turn them loose again. It must have been very frustrating being a border patrol officer working in the Obama administration.

Dear Permapoop, We need the wall for a lot of reasons. One of these is protection for the ranchers who have property which borders Mexico. Armed illegals show up and the ranchers must defend themselves. I understand you don't care about that but having an actual border is important.

Trump Budget Makes It Official: You’re Paying For The Wall, Not Mexico


One of the central themes of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was to not only build a border wall, but to make Mexico pay for it. The claim didn’t just become an applause line for Trump on the campaign trail, it was a call-and-response rallying cry.

But the Trump budget proposals revealed late Wednesday include $4.1 billion for the wall. Reuters reported that Trump was asking for $1.5 billion for the current fiscal year and another $2.6 billion for the 2018 budget year, which begins Oct. 1.

The money will come from U.S. taxpayers and not Mexico, which has made it clear that it’s not paying for the wall.

Earlier this year, Trump backed off his campaign promise and admitted that Americans would end up footing the bill, but claimed Mexico would “reimburse us for the cost of the wall.”

A report from the Department of Homeland Security estimated that the cost of the wall would be far higher than what Trump had promised on the campaign trail. Trump has said the wall would cost $12 billion, but Homeland Security estimated it would cost $21.6 billion and take three years to construct.
Now, we find it in the trump budget... br br br ... (show quote)




Has been said before

We will save well over the cost of a wall just in illegal entitlements.
