Trump Tells DHS To Prepare For Border Wall Construction | Zero Hedge
Since the Mexicans have stopped coming up here, partly due to their lowered fertility rate of 2.2, better to help Mexico build the wall at their southern border, as it's the Central Americans that are coming up here now!

Good thing the Republicans are doing this. Big waste of money. Mexico isn't going to pay. We can build more bombs, build a wall, start another war or give the big corporations tons of corporate welfare don't forget the tax breaks for the top 1% but we can't do a thing for the middle class who usually pay for all of these boondoggles

Nope. Thought there was a good chance she would. Just wish the Republican candidate had been almost anyone other than Trump. Ya'll have no idea what you've done, or maybe you do. In that case, Trump supporters scare the living he** out of me.

Maybe you missed the last Tweets? Mexico is going to pay for the wall one way or another. Trump has recently been busy Tweeting our big car manufacturers with plants in Mexico and they are starting to see the light. You don't move your plant to Mexico and then expect to sell those vehicles in the US under Trump (without being penalized). More and more are coming back home and it will be less for Mexico - but more for American workers.

I don`t speak for Mexico but the fact is that Monsanto put 2 million Mexican farmers out of a job. Can you disprove the 3 stories I`ve given you? You would actually have to read one of them and I hope that`s not a battle for you.

Having Mexicans send the money is a must in order for this to happen, because if Congress was going to fund it, the wall would be finished by now. Even Obama wanted to build one (since 2012), but Congress denied the funds.

And you truly believe that Trump doesn't know this?

Yes, he knows.
He also knows that he has a Republican Congress.

Did you know that?

LOL, you know as well as anyone the wall doesn't cost trillions and the cost of housing, feeding, incarcerating, and educating millions and millions of illegals far exceeds the cost for a wall.
Try a narrative that is at least somewhat believable next time you want to make an argument. Maybe you'll be taken somewhat seriously if you do so.

No that would require some understanding of government.


How does DHS "prepare to build a wall".
