Yes. Nearly forgot. e-Verify. I want people fine and/or jailed for hiring individuals without documentation to pass e-Verify.

This would seriously reduce border crossings.

And it is cheaper than a wall.

He promised something he can do nothing about. He might as well "promise" to extend the legality of automobiles for 5 years, and ignore the fact that autos were going to be legal with, or without his "promise".

i am all for everify as well but to think people will all of a sudden stop coming here is crazy. a barrier is still needed. you'll still get the people who aren't willing to work trying to cross.

You think a wall is all of a sudden stop people from coming here? I hate to break it to you, the wall will only affect a fraction of illegal immigrants and will take at least 15 years to be built when all is said and done. They are still litigating eminent domain cases from the Secure Fence Act 13 years later...

I find it pathetic that you people don't even dispute the massive lying the ignoramus employs like most people employ breathing air. Oh, and that bs about being a billionaire is also a lie, but as long as his fans are impressed, that's all that matters.

There is multiple estimations for this but his net worth based on tangible assets minus liabilities is around 2.7 billion. There is good outline of it here. For example click Trump Tower. It gives you the overall value, bebt and the net worth for Trump.

His NYC real estate assets by themselves are worth about 1.5 billion and that includes adjustment for liability.

It has to be a wall because it's a visible structure he can slap his name on. "I" built this wall. Emperor Zero wants his own Lincoln Memorial. Washington Monument. Something visible as a rememberance of him.


History will already remember this ***kery. We don't need a wall for that





Walls can come down...Jericho anyone? Berlin anyone?

Which paints the Democrats into a corner as to what they can offer as much as Trump's insistance on a physical barrier he can refer to as a "wall" paints Republicans into a corner. Essentially the way each side has the lines currently drawn it's an either-or proposition. Except either-or is turning into "none of the above."

We might be better off if no one "wins."
Yep and we call this leadership
