He will never make Mexico pay for it. Just those of us who aren't smart (lucky) enough to avoid paying taxes.

On Our Dime (the hard working tax paying citizens of this country)???---> Absolutely.

I guess you didn't factor in this little caveat, did you?

Thank you for agreeing to have this man represent our interests.

it's just for show. And the sillies are eating it up. I thought yall were against spending?
If the wall is simply for show..... then why do they have big walls in prisons?
And why has Obama put up a large one around his house?
Do tell.

Exactly when did respecting the rule of law and wanting secure borders become self-hate?

The poster "theunbrainwashed" has been brainwashed into thinking that anyone who disagrees with a liberal talking point is either a white racist or a minority-self-loathing-Uncle-Tom.

He denies the humanity of people with differences in political opinions.

His demand that Mexico pay for the wall could raise tensions with America’s southern neighbor at a time when the administration is also looking to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The US gives mexico a ton of monetary assistance every year. Nieto couldn't pay for the wall even if he wanted to. It's going to cost upwards of 25 billion and nearly a billion to maintain yearly. I can guarantee you, the american ppl are the ones who will end up paying for it, not the cash strapped mexicans, and certainly not Donald Trump.
