Why not is Mexico paying for the wall as Trump promised?


Did you also ask on Dec. 8, 1941, why the Japanese didn't surrender that day? Or even six months later? President Roosevelt promised they would lose the war, after all.

The obtuseness of some liberal posters here surpasses all wonderment.

Once again, I don't care who pays for it because it is cost effective and border security effective. As for Mexico paying for it here are the details. Now are we going to keep hearing that same old question over and over? "Polly wanna cracker"? Squawk, squawk!

Why doesn't trump use his own money instead of paying off Porn stars.

Trump must have really put some thought into that one.

Let's face it you don't want the wall because you want to fill this country up with Hispanics no matter how it gets done. That's racist and very un-American. Welcome to my ignore list.

That's absurd. It's as if we would be horrified to see you take a knife to your own nose, and that makes you happy.

What is offensive is that this is an expensive hoax played upon the American people, people like you willingly.

No one cares if the wall is free. No one would be upset with that.

Build it, I give a hoot. Just make sure it's not an embarrassing failed eyesore we'll have to take down and rebuild later. As long as we don't have to pay for it the wall is not our money being wasted.

There is no logic to what you are claiming here.

There are more cost effective alternatives. This is just an exercise in mis-placed pride. People don't want to admit how foolish they have been and now we all are being asked to pay so that you people can hang on to your illusions.

This poster eventually can't help themselves. While they claim to care only about illegal immigration, they always seem to say something that proves they hate anyone that is Latino and speaks Spanish.

By implication what your statement says is that anyone that wants the wall is a racist that wants to keep Hispanics out of the United States.

Japanese did lose the war. It's true. Look it up.

Mexico is paying for the wall. I heard it straight for the horse's ***.

He didn't say that we will save so much money that we'll have plenty to build the wall.

He said Mexico will pay for the wall.

When we have their check in hand, then it's time to call the contractors.

Also has a long ignore list. I’m part of the club (welcome Don1945!).

I still think it’s silly/disingenuous when any poster claims that if you don’t want the wall, you must want open borders, unlimited immigrants, etc. even when you’ve also laid out other ways that are more efficient and actually addresses the current problem. Nope, wall or bust, Mexico paying or not.
