The funniest thing about this whole wall business, is that in order to build it even close to cost effectively, they're actually going to have to employ mexican citizens to build it, since the labour cost and a lot of the construction materials will be a lot cheaper there.

That will be a nice $20bn dollar injection into their economy from the US then

Seems Trump is banning the low hanging fruit.
The Saudis and Pakis are not refugees and not coming here en masse.

This is just a photo OP for his supporters so they can say what a great president he is building a wall, just a few details left out like getting congress to approve the budget and negotiations with Mexico. These are not the type of things that get done by Executive Orders, it's just symbolic, now comes the hard part.

Whiny snowflakes? Your toddler in chief is still whining about the size of his inauguration crowd and losing the popular vote. Do you people even listen to the stupidity that comes out of your mouth?

And the whole, taxpayers will be shelling out the money for it and "Mexico will pay at a later date".

His supporters are all gullible morons. A physical wall is the dumbest idea imaginable, especially since land immigration is at a 40 year low.

Are you saying we're going to be employing illegal aliens to build it? Do you seriously think that, LOL!!! The wall will cost what ever it will cost using American labor and American construction material and it will be worth every single penny.
I don't see you and other people against the wall crying about spending billions every year right now feeding, educating, housing and providing medical care to illegals here. Where's your outrage about that? Whey aren't you concerned about how that adds to our deficit?
The wall is a bargain.

If we are gullible morons, what does that make an overconfident Hillary voter?

You whiny snowflakes aren't special, the world doesn't revolve you... Trump, however, for the next four years will have the world revolving around him... and I can hear you whiny snowflakes squealing in back... nobody cares what you think, nobody cares about you, poor snowflakes...
