Instead of 20 billion into a useless wall .. how bout we use the money to house homeless vets.
This is a false choice. How about we solve our homeless issue for everyone? Its not a either or.
The wall should be judged on its own merits. And its a stupid thing. Mandatory everify, and making it illegal to rent to anyone not here legally would have 100X the effect, with 100X less cost.

Current estimates range from 10-20 Billion for it to be built. Most common number used is 15 billion.
Yearly maintenance would be a staggering 1 billion.
There may a glorious wall replete with gold and there will be an exquisite ribbon cutting ceremony but there will still be 20 million illegal workers on the US side of it. But at least Trump voters will have their wall. Too many US Industries depend on illegal workers. Hospitality is at the top of the list. Any Trump voter who has been to a hotel knows this.
Think for a minute what would happen if a large percentage of the service sector, hospitality, and leisure labor force had to be replaced overnight. You will get your wall but you won't get your job back.Trump will say it's your fault because he built you a wall.
Hehe, one of the funniest videos ever ! "Trump forgot about planes !"
Nobody forgot about "planes". Only someone totally clueless won't know that we have problems with those illegals who overstay a visa.
As for planes---Tell me how functionally illiterate potential illegal aliens can afford to get passports for their large families? Let alone buy plane tickets for their large broods? The coyotes can't help them with that.
Why do you think they sneak across the border instead? You should really think this through before you make yourself look ridiculous
“I think the funding will come relatively quickly ... we will build it where it's needed first as identified by the men and women who work the border."
"If we could surge the court proceedings -- immigration court proceedings on the border -- and within the law, do it very rapidly ... I think that alone would act as a huge deterrent for people who are considering making the trip up."
Can I sponsor a section of the wall and be able to paint some of my thoughts on it for our friends south of the border?
