We're not paying for it so no need to answer. Have heard rumors of e-verify being enforced so that would help tremendously.
We're not? Didn't he say the other day, we'll pay for and build the wall but Mexico will have to reimburse us? That's like loaning money to your neighbor because he says he's expecting a check any day now.
All the foreign aid cash given to Mexico, that will no longer make it to the bank accounts of those corrupt politicians in Mexico, will pay for the wall.
That sounds highly illegal. The US government can't simply seize cash from one group of people under their jurisdiction to use for their nefarious purposes.
That's probably why Gump hasn't brought it up.
Legal immigrants send billions to Mexico too. Taking their money, and their money alone, to pay for a stupid wall is an enormous violation of their constitutional rights.
Then again, even undocumented immigrants have 14th amendment rights too, and seizing their money violates them too.

I would love to get off food stamps. I think it's stupid to be on them but I'm certainly not getting off just to entertain Trumps ego in building this wall.
Some people actually aren't capable of working too..as you say the children and the elderly.
I work as a part time cashier at a grocery store. Funny thing, I'm going to say, for every 100 customers that come through with a food stamp card, at least 99 of them were not born here, and are immigrants, quite recent might I add, because they do have very thick accents. Please, tell me where else could I as an American citizen, go and move to another country because I don't like this one, and get a job, benefits and welfare. My life is getting worse and more harder, inflation going through the roof, the paycheck not keeping up, but because I am a responsible adult not popping out kids that I can't afford, don't have any special interest groups to stick up for me, or organizations I can turn to for help. My only option is to either get a third job, or just stop paying some bills and ruin my credit. I'm not against migration, obviously my ancestors were immigrants. But, I just think it's only fair that if my family can come here with nothing, and make something of themselves without asking for handouts, there is no reason why the newer immigrants can't as well. I'm tired of my quality of life going to hell because I am being over taxed and regulated so some immigrant can have the plush life. I can't even afford to run my AC in the summer, but the next door neighbors from one of the island countries seem to run the ac on a big house thanks to vouchers, drive around in Mercedes and BMW's and dress in high end clothes thanks to selling drugs and every night, throw huge parties,thanks to the welfare their baby mama's are bringing in, smoking pot, driving recklessly around the neighborhood with expired license plates on their cars, go to sleep and not have to wake up until noon the next day, just to do it all over again. All of those activities in turn, cause my insurance on the house and car to go up because they are creating unsafe conditions, cost of food is going through the roof, and dread the day I have to actually go to the hospital for some major treatment.

This is reality. A hard working person not asking for anything other than a level playing field.
Hope you voted for Trump by the way.
All this wall talk. So, if you have to pay for the wall, would you rather spend the money to physically stop intruders with more border patrol?
Can it even be done?
Which is cheaper in the long run?
Finally, what stops Mexicans et al from simply flying to Canada and walking south? Will we need another wall?
Where do I send my check?
If they have the money to fly to Canada ... wait, Canada has pretty tough immigration law too.
