Is that like his health care plan he promised? The one that was going to be really great and if you could not afford it the government was going to pay.
And I say Gracias to them, I say they should pay for the wall because that's what we were promised, I think it time for the promise maker to put up or shut up.
Really? You think Mexico promised to pay for your "beautiful wall"? Your liar in chief made that promise.
Hardly. Where is Trumps plan? Show me where the WH published one. I can show you where Trump claimed to have one.
Cmon Oldglory I am waiting. You have been posting for year supporting trump. surely you cam show me at least one link where trump as potus cited his health care plan. if not I guess all of CD should consider you a poser.
lmao..What a dumb thing to say. I'm 100 feet above sea level. I wouldn't get flooded like that. It would simply go to sea level or lower.

I agree with Steven-H. Elevation is no guarantee of not flooding. I live in mountain and rainforest country. If 50 inches of rain gets dumped on us in 4 days the water simply washes structures and land and trees and soil away and down to lower elevations. We call them landslides or mudslides.
Well, you could say a lot of things, but that wouldn't make them true. Illegal aliens cost the US $113 billion tax dollars per year, and also allows just anyone to enter our country, which if you watched the ICE website, you would have a better understanding of who is coming into the country.
I live 18 miles from the border; I work at the school that has the Trans-Border Institute; my wife teaches at a school that is three-quarters immigrant. My understanding is just fine.
The voters via the electoral college voted for a Southern Wall between the US and Mexico by electing Donald Trump. While your suggestion is interesting, the wall you propose wasn't on the ballot in 2016.
Improved infrastructure was. Doesn't this qualify?

The voters, via the electoral college, voted for a wall paid for by Mexico. This is not what Trump is proposing.
He's proposing that taxpayers pay for a border wall.
Even Rasmussen polling reveals support for the border wall is only in the mid-thirties and it's not clear even they all realize they'll be paying for it.
We are less than a month away from reaching a $20 trillion debt ceiling.
We don't have a balanced budget, the military wants more money, the wealthy want their tax cuts, and now everyone including Texas Republicans are in favor of going into even more debt to bail out troubled Texans.
Forget the stupid wall, slap a hefty fine on anyone employing those without properly vetted documentation.
Where we really need a wall: maybe the Federal government and the Army Corps of Engineers could provide the money and manpower to construct some protective walls and surge barriers, strengthen the bayou systems and dams, to protect Houston in the future.
I don't recall ANY of the current structure failing.
MOST of the flooding is from OPENING the levees.
What SHOULD be done, IMO, is NOT let construction of homes, etc. in down stream areas, so when they DO open the levees, peoples homes will NOT be flooded.
Secondly why should MY fed tax dollars go to pay for a LOCAL issue?
