Obama had his press conference today and commented on trumps proposal. He mentioned foreign leaders questioning Obama about the rhetoric coming from trump and even Cruz.m gee, would you rather a candidate that makes Mexico nervous bc they realize they can't dump millions of their poor citizens in our lap, or a candidate that accepts tens of millions of dollars in their personal slush fund from Saudi Arabia and Russia?

You, too, can be a deal maker if you apply yourself.
Excuse me, but Mexico doesn't have to agree to a cotton-pickin' thing.
We just pack them up in trucks or boats and dump them over the border.
Back from whence they came, the criminals. Not our problem anymore.
The wall is for their protection. KEEP OUT. TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT.

Go try to send money out of country ( say $ 3,000 ) and you will soon see how completely and totally ridicules your comment is. They not only want your ID but your bank account information too and they will investigate it if it's done with any frequency. The government doesn't do it. Someone in Western Union does it when the red flag pops up. They do it to comply with government rules already in place. You really have no idea what you're talking about. That's understandable because you have an impression of the way things used to be. The rules have change do to money laundering and terrorist activity.

Obama is saying if the illegals can't send their money to Mexico than the Mexican economy will collapse so Obama endorses clearly illegals working here and taking jobs from citizens and legal aliens!

A poster on the Blog Juanita Jean's Worlds Most Dangerous Beauty salon says that most all of the cement industry in the USA are now owned by a Mexican conglomerate.

Where will DT get the cement for the wall? He'd better be a good negotiator.

I'm gonna lay in a supply of popcorn. This is gonna be fun.

Let's review them side by side.
Probably Bernie and Hillary's open border plan. Trump, Bernie and Hillary are all off the mark, Bernie and Hillary's plan may just happen, I worry more about that then the liberal Trump's fantasies.

I think DT may have just found a perfect secretary of state. Diplomacy rules!
