That is step 2. Hang in there!

Guys, the dems don't know how to react to winning, their president went 8 years straight without winning, they just aren't used to it.

Trump has kept more campaign promises in 3.5 days than Obama did in 8 years.

Agreed, we need both.

A wall in itself is not intended to be the be all and end all of illegal immigration.

But it's and important part of instituting a new policy of enforcement.

Sorry, not the way it works.

Mexico will pay in ways they have little or no control over, no matter how much Liberals and El Presidente stomp their feet.
Things may be different in your neck of the woods, but my bank does not accept metaphorical payments.

Officials can ignore paper enforcement, but a wall can't be ignored.

All you have to do is look at the sanctuary cities to see how politicians will decide they don't want to comply with other ways of dealing with illegal immigration.

I can imagine what a source of amusement to the people of Mexico, this exercise in futility must be. Tunnels have been dug under existing barriers, that were 60 or more feet deep. How far down would they have to sink the foundation of a wall, to prevent this? It'd be like an iceberg, with 86% of its bulk down below, out of sight. And even then, it wouldn't work------they'd just dig deeper.
So you would rather have tax dollars of immgrants coming rather than your safety? When crime happens who do you call BLACK LIVES MATTER

In 2017 you can fool Trump supporters all of the time

If your neighbor owed you $1,000, would you be cutting him $100 checks each month as goodwill?

We can stop sending Mexico $300 million checks.

WOW, I don't like Trump, but he is turning into the best prez we ever had. Really amazing. I can never understand how the dems think criminals that entered our country illegally are legal immigrants? That is the legacy of Obama, a confused society...deport the illegal aliens and take America back!

Thanks Prez Donald!
