Chuck offered Trump $20-25 Billion for the wall back in January in trade for DACA.

While Trump was reportedly considering it, for whatever reasons, it did not work out.

No wall is going to prevent drugs from entering the US. Most enter the US via the 48 border crossings used by more than 1 million a day, every day. Drones are quite capable of flying over a wall and making their drops.

Far more concerned about the 12+ million who are in the US right now, insignificant consequences for those who hire undocumented workers, that only a handful of states have made e- Verify mandatory and birthright citizenship.

As I said stop drinking the kool aid and repeating what you hear. Do some reading about all of those issues you mentioned and you will find out that ALL is not as clear cut as you want to believe.

The facts speak for themselves, no Kool Aid is needed. Denying or ignoring facts and just blindly following what one's party tells them to think, now that's drinking the Kool Aid!

We tried that a few years ago and it had so many bugs in it we scrapped it and it was a waste of the tax payer's money.

The question I have, how are the last 2% getting across your brilliant design?
So far, what I have seen constructed, my old ass could scale with ease.
They need a 36" round pipe all along the top!
Making up numbers again?

This again? "Polly wanna cracker"? Squawk, squawk. Did you demand that Mexico pay for the wall back in 2006 when the wall bill was actually passed? Do you not know that it's cheaper to build a $25 billion wall that continuing to pay over $100 billion a year for the social costs of illegal aliens?


Here's Trump's plan for the umpteenth time now give it a rest, will you?

It's a made-up crisis. You fell for it.
So, 10.7 million illegals is a "made up crisis"? How many millions do you require to make a real crisis?

And oh, BTW, tell that lie to these families;

Yes, it's a made up crisis because the number of undocumented workers in America is at a 12 year low right now. Facts are inconvenient things, aren't they?

I will NOT give it a rest because I will continue to remind all of you those promises that were made OVER and OVER again by our President in his rallies.

We are building a wall and Mexico is paying for it.

That was the chant now own it
