But yet that was his reasoning for "the wall." The only two countries we border are Mexico and Canada, yet I don't hear a lot of anti-Canadian rhetoric towards Canadian immigrants... So I guess Trump meant Hispanics if not directed specifically at Mexicans.
You do realize why there isn't talk of a wall at the Canadian border, don't you? As a TV pundit said once "Canada can take care of their own people. Mexico either can't or won't." (I'm paraphrasing here.) In other words, you don't see Canadians sneaking across the border in anywhere near the overwhelming numbers that you see on the southern border. Do you know why? Canada has the same standard of living that we do.
Not everybody sneaking across the southern border is "Hispanic". There are plenty of those who aren't Hispanic who do so. They fly to Mexico and pay a coyote to sneak them across. So, no, Trump's comment wasn't directed at only Hispanics.
Really? When the wall gets built and illegals sent packing, jobs will open up for Americans. Again, the lamestream media doesn't like to talk about the negatives when it comes to illegal immigration. For example, when was the last time you saw in the lamestream media a photo of all the trash illegals dump on fragile desert ecosystems? I'm more than willing to give Trump a chance to see what he can accomplish.
There isn't going to be any wall. The logistics of it are a nightmare, between acquiring the land (which I'm sure Trump would simply try to grab using eminent domain) and the engineering feat it would require, to say nothing of the massive cost which would bankrupt the country (another thing Trump excels at), there is no way Congress would ever approve funds for such a massive undertaking. Even if it were feasible (which it is not).
You guys show how gullible you are when you repeat the con man's words as if they were truth. There will be no wall.

Mexican immigration to the US is down from its peak in 2009.
The Mexican economy is picking up steam. A Mexican billionaire recently got the PGA to move their tournament to Mexico by making up the shortfall the sponsor Cadillac could not do, and the owner of Doral refused to do.
Many people would be stunned to find that the Mexican economy is ranked right up with the U.K. and Italy.
Mexico has the 11th-highest GDP in the world based on purchasing power parity, according to the International Monetary Fund. As Europe weakens, it will be in the top 10 in the not-too-distant future. More Americans may be crossing the border to go to Mexico than vice versa.
Some of the 9/11 attackers came across the Canadian border. I don't think any came across the southern border.
Just like the illegals, they'll reproduce in horrendous numbers since they will be on government aid also and in some areas where they are the majority, they are already demanding implementation of sharia law and in some places gaining it.
So, the reality is that this ^^^ compared to Trump wanting to make sure there was a way to properly vet refugees coming in, ah, wake up Clinton supporters.
The fact is that no matter what is posted about Trump, Hillary is worse:
My! What a ringing endorsement from a Trump supporter!
"Sure, my candidate is awful; but hey the other side is worse!"
Not to mention the fact that the links you posted consist of lies and spins. I've always say that if Hillary is so bad, how come you guys have to make up lies to spread about her?

Because it's an "ain't no flys on us" situation. Trump is only slightly better dealing with ISIS/ISLS, however scandal-wise, Trump is just as bad as Hillary. Plus he has a track record of being an idiot and not the best businessman relying on bankruptcy and being a pupeeteer to the so-called "meat-puppet" empty suit politicans.

Wrong! Congress already approved the wall. It just hasn't been funded. It won't bankrupt the country---get a clue! Illegal aliens are costing us billions a year (google it). Whatever money is spent on the wall, is money well spent.
The wall won't be built on the roughest terrain. It will be built on a stretch of land where illegal crossings are a big problem.
Why are you against securing our border? What is your dog in this fight? Try reading up on what life is currently like for those who live along the border. You really don't have a clue.
