We would need the wall AND the repeal of NAFTA and all other free-trade agreements with third-world slave-labor nations.
Yeup, except for that at this point you can pretty much call NAFTA dead and no agreement that will be in all our favor is going to be signed. One Trading Partner gone, on to the next, then where will our labor be, service industries, can you say "would you like fries with that order"?

So maybe congress is going to toss Trump 10 billion of our tax money just to shut him up and mentally write it off. Problem is, like any one off massive project, no one really has no clue how much it will cost. You can bet this boondoggle to ignorant citizens will cost many times more and in the end change little.

Get rid of the welfare to illegals and their money grubbing anchor babies. Problem solved. We'd save money and wouldn't have to build a fence.

It will help protect blue-collared jobs for Americans that can't outsourced.

And the faster such things are pushed through, the more money will disappear down invisible holes. There won't even be a new budget until October.

In a related story, a major manufacturer of ladders has just moved to Mexico. It must be true, I saw it on the internet.
