    That would be the answer if there hadn't already been 2 years with a loaded legislature to get it done.

    Now, though, both sides are wrapped up in a dick measuring contest and the only losers are lower-middle-class payday to payday government employees. And soon, WIC, SNAP, etc recipients. Both could be considered somewhat less than sympathetic groups due to their situations being at least partially brought about by their own poor financial/life decisions.

    I don't know which side this is going to backfire on worse. Probably Trump, since the left controls the media.

    While it is a favorite talking point of the LWNs, Congress wasn't stacked the last two years. The House had plenty of intelligent members to pass a bill, but the Senate did not.

    Honest question: why not use seized drug money to build the wall?

    Trump said they would pay one way or the other, maybe better trade deals, less aid, etc. Personally I don't care as long as we secure the border. If Mexico ends up funding a big chunk due to better trade negotiations then bonus. If they don't...IDGAF.

    BUILD THE WALL!

    Tax remittances and confiscate all property of illegals, gained from illegal acts.

    But the reality is the demon cats would fight these also as the wantopen borders for more slaves. The party of slavery needs a dependent class.

    Trump should just say he’s for open borders.


    Boom! Democrats fund 700Billion for a wall.

    Better trade negotiations isn't them funding the wall. It's us taking money that should be going to something else and paying for the wall. So, we're still paying for the wall. Lame .....

    Is anyone honestly concerned about cost , with all the other waste? when you consider that it should help reduce the billions spent on illegals annually?

    I call BS :D

    Not one bit.

    The cost of letting this flow of detritus continue is much, much higher. Build the wall.

    We are, but if you are going to hold people to standards, be consistent.

    If I should be mad that Obama didn't do those things to your satisfaction, then you should be mad that Trump isn't having Mexico pay for the wall (to my satisfaction). You don't seem to care who pays for it, just that it gets done. Many people don't care that there are flaws with Obamacare but just happy that more people have insurance. Be consistent.

    When it comes to border security, one of the real responsibilities of our federal government, NO i don't mind paying for that.

    As for healthcare, Obamacare didn't fix a damned thing while screwing up the remainder of the system. If he had actually accomplished something, I would applaud him. Insurance is part of the problem with healthcare costs, not the solution.
