In that case, you guys should love Trump as liberals are full of scapegoats

"Capitalism is evil"

"It's white people's fault."

"The rich have too much money"

"We want free healthcare and education"

Liberals always have a scapegoat to explain why we have poor and lazy people in america, besides holding them accountable for their own actions.

and your rant has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Your deflection doesn't explain why Trump still doesn't have his wall even though he has a favorable Congress.

remember this?

The wall is already being prepped for construction.

Sorry for the breaking news

MCALLEN, Texas (AP) - Federal authorities have awarded a $145 million contract to a Texas company to build 6 miles (9.5 kilometers) of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol said Friday that SLSCO will begin construction of an 18-foot (5.5-meter) reinforced concrete levee wall in February in the agency's McAllen Station region. The company will also increase the height of existing fences.

It will be the first section of President Donald Trump's border barriers in the Rio Grande Valley, the busiest corridor for illegal crossings.

Just curious here. The wall is going to be 2000 miles long right? Along the entire border? Since you’re up on this, maybe you can tell us how many miles of wall (as opposed to fences) have been built.

Sorry for the breaking news but there are already miles of fences and barriers on the border courtesy of the community organizer.

Trump is only "closing the gaps."

Gracious to Obama for getting the ball rolling.

As many as it takes.

Trump kept his promise and the wall is being built as we speak.

Snowflakes can't accept it.

I assume that by "snowflakes" you mean liberals. If that's the case, it apparently escaped your notice that there are also conservatives who believe there are other, more effective and economically efficient ways to discourage illegal immigration. The Wallâ„¢ does absolutely nothing about people who have overstayed their visas.

You’re actually not up on the news about the wall yourself.

Got it.

You may want to try some math and common sense.

1. Walls of various types have been being built for a long time and are in the budget.

2. The amount of money involved is US money (not paid by Mexico) and it's well less than 1/100th of the amount to get anything real done.

I'll call that a fail. But, then again, if you are into symbolism maybe they will have tourist packages to that short sections along with fake militia members and bad-looking hombres trying to get over it.

It'll be like the new cowboy ghost town thing.
