Get rid of the illegals. Every last one of them. I'll even drive the bus that dumps them over the border. Spend that money on the wall and border security. I detest that ONE DIME of my taxes goes to supporting these criminals.
That 135 billion dollar figure is BS, it is from FAIR or CIS both right wing, white nationalist organizations run by John Tanton it's been debunked by many sources.

I'm only listing the CATO analysis because their rebuttal to the FAIR report is well sourced, but if you look you can find others.

One good thing about this funding bill is that DACA isn't in it so the Democrats lost on that one and Americans won.
Even though you are wrong, and DACA is still on the table, do you not realize that MOST AMERICANS SUPPORT DACA?

The Bush 2006 fence lawsuits are still working through the court in Texas.

Since 95% of the proposed wall is on private property, there will definitely be lawsuits. Do the costs come out of the budgeted money?
Property rights don't mean much to the #MAGA crowd.

And how is that wall going to stop the majority of illegal entry which occur through one of our 328 ports of entry? Seems like you are the one with a math problem.

Abolish ALL income taxes.

There. Problem solved.

Here's the skinny on the July 1st presidential election in Mexico.

AMLO is expected to win. He will sit down with cartels and make a deal that will likely end up with one cartel (an amalgamation of the current ones). Cartel will agree not to sell hard stuff inside Mexico in exchange for no longer being stopped by MXN authorities in moving product north of the border. Mexico will stop cooperating with US on both drug and illegal immigrants from Central America crossing northbound at the border. AMLO hates trump and this is the payback for trump's wall and immigration crap talk.

More winning!!!

Not only that, wait until the administration is faced with the legal battle over Rio Grande water rights.

You can build a wall -- except here, a river runs through it
