I laugh at these types of posts, "Trump isn't building a wall."

We can be the 1st to send a man to the moo, BUT CAN'T build a wall.

"where is this $30+ billion in construction costs going to come from?"

Really?

The fed is FULL of useless programs that could be either scaled back or eliminated altogether.

Unbelievable, how small some think.

Polls that are favorable to Trump = reliable, factual information.

Polls that are adverse to Trump = fake news.

Except for illegal immigrants don't cost us $113 billion a year, of course; they cost much less. It's not true just because Trump said it and much of what Trump says is lies and exaggerations, including this claim. And you still haven't said where the money will come from; only that they cost $113 billion/year. There is no way we can deport every illegal immigrant, no matter what we do. There will always be some cost there.

Sure there is. Will Trump do that to build this wall? I doubt it, but he can start by eliminating most of those Mar-a-Lago trips. Has he even mentioned the wall lately?

Once again, those weren't Trump's numbers. Below is the site that researched the costs of illegal immigration. Who said we are going to be able to deport every illegal alien but we can deport many of them and the wall is to prevent more from coming here.


What do you mean by lately? Does he have to bring it up every day and every week? It's at the bidding stage right now.

Utter BS! FAIR did weigh the costs vs the benefits of illegal immigration to come to their conclusions. Read it and see. Your article is flat out lying!

not really, if you cut back 30 billion those monies could be used for real projects that are much more valuable to the USA than a silly wall.

the wall would be so far down the list you would need a new list. We could repair roads, dig tunnels provide clean water, build bridges. educate kids, give young men and women REAL retraining to get real jobs.

there are lots of things that are much more important than that wall.
