It's not that "Liberals" won. It's that Trump supporters were conned. I don't know why you fell for his lies, but you did. Go back to discussions about the wall on C-D last fall and read what people were saying. Time and again all the reasons the wall would never be built were laid out for all to read. None of it is mysterious, but you chose not to believe.

Pressure from the US including funding to stop Central Americans from coming over. They just might start running shuttle now the way trump has been handling the mexico-us relations.

Most people involved with securing our southern border agree that the benefit of a wall won't be worth the cost.



I'm not the expert but the proof is right here.

What there is now isn't working why does Trump think more of the same will? This is a guy who doesn't know anything past his own gilded walls. He should go visit the place his is planning to uproot so badly.

Wrong! What there is already is working.

Donald is a businessman who knew Mexico was never going to pay for it, nor were fiscal conservatives going to fund it, but it made for good press.

Don't spread lies about me! I did answer your question. I said I would assume since it's our wall it will be built on our side or whatever line divides our two countries.


You anti-wall keep projecting and whining it's fun to watch.

Besides, more than half of the illegals enter the US legally and overstay their visas. The wall wouldn't impact these illegals at all.

Wrong! 60% of illegals are border jumpers and only 40% of illegals are visa over stayers. So, you're saying don't build the wall just because it won't stop the 40%? What kind of stupid reasoning is that? We can't address both problems but in a different way?

Don't hold your breath for a viable answer from these anti-wall people.
