A wall is not nearly as noisy as land mines.

You know, maybe we should let the whole world migrate here but have all the CD posters here against the wall take them all in and be responsible for them if they misbehave that could land those CD posters a lifetime jail sentence in hard labor if they do.


Yes let all democrats win (a one party government) so we can be at war with most of the world, heck Hillary wants war with Russia - I say Mr. Putin please oblige and give our mass of land a total reset.


I even have the best POTUS candidates and top level cabinet in mind for our self-destruction!



The sad thing is that the veterans dead or alive would have served for nothing after it's thrown all away by democrats.


Thank GOD I don't have much time left to live as with total democrat rule "the check will become due" REAL FAST and not in any positive way IMO! YES it's THAT BAD IMO!


However our GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL GET THE WALL BUILT via a State of Emergency then at a later date the democrats will dismantle it (the multi-billions will quickly without hesitation will be approved for that) for their welcome of everyone/anyone.



Lets see if there's even one of you reading this who gets why I posted what I did - I won't hold my breath though.

Mexico is just one of many laughing at him.

If Trump is forced to, why not declare a state of emergency? Get the military down there and start building portions of the wall. We don't need a wall that runs the entire length of the border but building one that will funnel the "migrants" to proper checkpoints it will certainly reduce the number of people that are abused, hurt or even die in trying to make a dangerous trek through inhospitable lands dragging their kids with them.



Paul Ryan had no interest in tackling the wall so instead he kicked it down the road and now today we are dealing with it again. Pelosi and Schummer want to reopen the Gov. and then talk about a wall.. yeah right. Trump should not trust them.



What is so wrong about building a wall that will protect and help people on both sides of it?
The Dems do want to support border security, but not the "wall" that he is promoting. You say Pelosi and Schumer shouldn't trust Donald? I think that is the other way around! Trump shouldn't be holding innocent people's lively hood as hostage. They have done an honest days work, they should be paid. He is putting his own interest ahead of the working people of america. He shouldn't have deceived folks about Mexico paying for the wall (although common sense should have kicked in to know that wasn't going to happen).

If Trump thought he could get away with it, he would have already have declared an emergency. Just more bluster and BS from the bad orange one.

No, Individual 1 doesn't like the fact that he doesn't get his way. He needs to deal with it.

He had control of both houses for the last 2 years if this was such an urgency he could have proposed and had approved the necessary funding....
