We can't afford a health care plan. Where is the money coming from? We need roads, bridges and infrastructure. Why are we wasting time and money with this bad idea? Let's get one problem done at a time. Wow!
"Collectively, they paid an estimated $10.6 billion to state and local taxes in 2010, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), a research organization that works on tax policy issues."

I wonder where the billions are coming from every year to feed, house, and educate millions of illegals? You don't seem to worried about that? Maybe that money could be used for a health care plan, or infrastructure like roads and bridges. Maybe those billions could be used for better education in our schools and paying teachers a higher salary. Maybe those billions used to house, feed and educate millions of illegals could be spent on creating jobs? Gosh!
Mexico has to save face and say it won't pay for the wall. Trump has to say Mexico will pay or back down. That is a strong stand taken by both parties. Then the parties negotiate.
America could crush Mexico's economy and cause a revolt too. He could stop all remittances being sent to Mexico. That would do it but he can take other actions also. It might hurt our economy for a while but it would absolutely crush Mexico and the people would revolt.
When the negotiation is done both sides have to save face. We will know by the details where Mexico is paying for the wall.
Mexico can go home and say we didn'y pay for the wall but we worked out a good deal.
Trump on the other hand will have a media that will be relentless asking him how did Mexico pay for the wall. Even though we can see by the details of the agreement where Mexico is paying, the media won't be satisfied until they are able to screw up the diplomacy. Their goal is to make Trump look bad and if they have to embarrass Mexico to do it they will. It will be interesting to see how President Trump handles it.
Will Donny grow up and move on to more important things? This is not a reality TV show. Lives are at stake. We warned you guys, but you refused to listen.
Is that the same "Mexico" that said it was not going to give up Texas to us? That Mexico??
So why didn't Paul Ryan give that answer when he was interviewed today?
You haven't picked up on the whole establishment thing yet? Paul Ryan is an establishment shill that wants to let every turd worlder he can find into the country to provide cheap labor for his chamber of commerce buddies.
I have no doubt Trump will get the Mexicans to pay for whatever form the wall ends up taking. He'll cut aid or tax remittances, or tie it to the continued existence of NAFTA. Lots of ways to make it happen. The Mexicans need us more than we need them.
Well we will use Mexico's annual subsidy and increase their import taxes to pay for it.
