What a sack of crap. Why does he care if we get a wall or not? He lives in his ivory tower surrounded by guards. Just tax money going back to Mexico for christ's sake! You will never get the traitors in congress to give money for this....the demoncrats need Illegals use as a voting bloc and the GOP are just spineless liars.
The President can't legislate or fund anything. All he can do is ask the Congress & Senate to give him a bill he likes and either sign it or not.

It would be nice if Mexico would just send us 50 billion dollars of goods for green pieces of paper.

But Mexico is paying for the wall. Right? So what does the lack of funding have to do with anything?

The fact that he promised a wall, to be paid for by Mexico, and then asked the taxpayers to fund it, is indeed very much his fault.

I hadn't even thought about the issue of maintenance before, but you are right. What happened to upgrading infrastructure we already have, that is falling apart?

There is no rush for the wall because border crossings are down massively, however the wall must be built by 2024 because we can't bank on future presidents keeping up the border security that Trump has delivered on.

It will NEVER be built. He scammed and conned his supporters. It was all a JOKE to him....a punch line for his rallies. Had a nice ring to it. But it was all ONE BIG SCAM.

Any of his supporters ready to admit this??? I mean, if he lets you down on the wall, can you ever believe him again???? Seriously.

I don't see that he delivered on anything, ICE seems to be rounding up more illegal immigrants but he hasn't funded more agents or added any border security.

Trump said he was going to get Mexico to pay for the wall. Congress is wise for not sticking the taxpayers with the bill. That's not what Trump campaigned on.
