Mexicans have not stopped coming across the border. At any rate we need to build the 700 mile long wall already approved by congress to stop everyone from south of our border from coming here illegally as much as possible.

Illegal aliens cost us $113 billion a year and the wall at most would cost $25 billion a one time expense but we can't afford the wall? And yes, the double wall does work. I have posted a couple of links in here proving it does where it has already been erected.


Trump has already explained how Mexico will at least pay a part of it and it won't be a matter of choice for them.

Are you a Democrat?

The next President's inauguration hasn't even taken place, yet you are in election mode again.

Most of that private property is along the Texas border. If these Texans want illegal aliens swarming all over their property then so be it but they aren't doing themselves nor their neighbors to the north any favors. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

It wont matter what they run on, the party is in melt down, they didn't learn anything from their mistakes. Their self destruction will be complete and there wont be much left of the party by then.

Not if it keeps the gangs and the drugs out. Both the US and Mexico should make it a tourist attraction (on each side) like a National Park and charge a fee to visit.

Tear down the proverbial wall of division and ignorance....absolutely. Tear down any physical wall that would theoretically get built on the border? Well...no...because that was never going to happen.

There won't be a wall. Mexico sure as hell isn't going to build it so who's going to pay for it? That's a lot of wasted money considering there's already a huge fence dividing the 2 countries.
