Careful -- it could be a scammer or someone looking to collect names.

might be anti govt and want to hurt these workers-who come to build a fence-- be careful...
warning to all- the govt will go through proper vendor vetting and price bidding-- to get the wall built and someone in the Army Corps of Engineers and maybe GSA will oversee it long time before a rock is moved. -- and besides we still have NO BUDGET on a CR--- so all this stuff he trying to do, there is no mula-

Believe me, we are all paying for illegal immigrants.


President Trump is not setting president when he is trying to prevent illegal immigrants from coming to the U.S. President Bill Clinton took the same stance about illegal immigrants. President Trump is just talking the talk and walking the walk. President Trump is doing something about it.

Bill Clinton's Immigration Remarks Same As Trump's | The Daily Caller
Trump is putting out feelers to see if he can con fanatics like you into paying more money
for his wall.

TRUMP SAID Mexico would pay for it. If he can't deliver then he has more work to do.

If I'm already paying for ilegal immigrants WHY SHOULD I PAY MORE MONEY on ilegal immigrants?

Trump supporters claim Trump is for the working class. Oh yeah? Then let the fat cats who have sent jobs overseas pay for the wall. They don't deserve a tax cut. BAN A TAX CUT FOR THE RICH until the wall is built and paid for.

Let's say a working class family spends $600.00 per month on food. A twenty percent (the wall tax) increase in that food bill is $120.00 extra per month. . I don't want to pay that.

That much money can cover one of the following:

1. Monthly gasoline
2. My water bill
3. My monthly car insurance
Etc. Etc.

And if Mexico built the wall, then the Mexican workers would want paid vacation time, over-time, 401k, child-care benefits, healthcare insurance, performance bonuses, pension plan, on-site gym, and 3 weeks paid vacation the first year.


If Americans built the wall, this would already be negotiated into the hiring.

Yeah I forgot, Bechtel. They build cities from the ground up and people say we can't build a wall.

Nobody cares about his Tax Returns. How will seeing them, affect you? I don't see him put in prison by the IRS. Now or in the past....If he did some tax maneuvering, it was legal.

So you want more illegals to come here without a wall so you can pay more than the $113 billion a year we are paying now for them? Yeah, that makes sense...not! Not to mention that they will take even more jobs and resources from Americans.
