It's a border. It's our border. We can regulate it as we see fit.
Yes, and the average American taxpayer will be footing the bill for it, to the tune of tens of billions. Not to mention the cost of maintenance and upkeep, the expansion of border patrol, etc. That's "small government neoconservatives" in action alright.
PS-- Who gives an eff what Hillary voted for? To hell with that crow. This isn't a partisan issue; it's a matter of economy.

By ramping up tensions with nations we share a border with?
Yes, kicking butt how? He's undoubtedly good at stroking his own ego and getting his lemmings to shake in their boots, freaking out over brown people.

Its a stupid waste of money designed to placate those who refuse to educate themselves on the issue.

Total BS. Prove that this is even a thing.
You are asserting that prospective in-state students are unable to enter state universities because those slots are going to illegal immigrants. Show us.
The world does revolve around him because the US has the biggest influence in any nation... The "He works for us..." line was never true, it was a little line to say to make people feel better... He is not asking anyone for their opinion, he is telling everyone his opinion...
Probably before he is finished, we will no longer have that position in the world.

Building a wall is a great fantasy illusion. Not only will it not decrease illegals from coming over (tunneling under) but its costs are astronomical. Mexico will not pay for it, Mexico will not further cooperate with us in its campaign over illegal drugs, and the building of a wall along the border is nearly impossible to imagine being done as it will have to go through mountains, difficult terrain, pass through Native American lands, private lands, rancher lands, and be built far enough from the river to avoid flooding. An impossible dream which will cost 15 billion dollars and more that the US taxpayer will have to pay for.

Not to mention, illegal immigration from Mexico has been decreasing since 2009.
"I will build a great wall -- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me --and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."
