I keep Telling you guys, when Trump said Mexico would pay for The Wall, he was referring to a copy of the Pink Floyd album.
If the amazing dealmaker is true to form, he'll scrounge up a Tijuana-made bootleg cassette with the Mariachi version, claim it was the plan all along, and his followers will swoon over his mad skills.
Or are American taxpayers getting screwed as usual by empty campaign promises?
It's not the wall itself they are only prototypes. How are we going to get screwed by building a $25 billion wall vs the $113 billion that illegals cost us every single year no matter who pays for it? I have posted a couple of links several times proving that the good walls do work. Remain in denial. Typical liberal.
So let's pretend that the wall was going up -- how do you see that as a victory for the American people?
Let's just pretend that Trump just started building it. What does that say about the political process in the USA. Talk about trashing the Constitution and any notion of how the govt. is to conduct itself as set out by that Constitution.
It implies Trump acted alone in spending tax payer money on a project that is not yet approved by our representatives.
Is that the kind of govt. conservatives want.
That is fascinating to me.
Conservatives are cheering for dictatorships? Really?>
Okay
Congress would have to approve it otherwise how is it going to be built? They actually approved it back in 2006. Didn't Obama bypass congress by implementing DACA by EO? I wouldn't talk about dictatorships if I were you.

Leaving aside your specious 113B figure, do the words "visa overstay" mean anything to you?
I live in San Diego. Will cruise on down there and see if I can see anything. Sounds like police are putting up lots of barricades to keep protesters away, might also be impervious to normal Americans who support it. We'll see.
Among voters who strongly approve of Trump’s job performance, 92 percent want to build the wall. In contrast, 94 percent of those who strongly disapprove of the job the new president is doing oppose the construction of such a wall.

Seriously. Even if a wall gets built, does anyone really think it's gonna stop anyone from immigrating here illegally? All somebody has to do is show up at the border with a travel visa, tell them, "We're going to Disneyland," and then just ... stay. Disappear into the woodwork. If people really want to get here badly, they'll figure out a way.

And, as I've already pointed out twice, it's a moot point anyway, since hogstooth's own poll - a more recent one - defeats his/her purpose anyway.

Dated 6 months more recent, and from the exact same poll, only 37% support the wall, with 56% opposed: Most Voters Say No To Wall
Support for President Trump's signature plan to build a wall along the Mexican border has dropped over the past two years, as has support for his policy of increased deportations of undocumented immigrants.
A Monmouth University poll released Thursday found 35 percent of Americans support Trump's plan to build a wall, down from 48 percent in September 2015.
