The fiscal Conservatives don't support it because it's costly, and corporate Republicans don't support it because their overlords in business are addicted to the cheap / illegal labor.

If you think that it is only Republican business owners who like the cheap labor you're badly mistaken. The Democrats are just as guilty of it.

What are you talking about? 60% of illegals are border jumpers that came here illegally.

You might think "it'll be in next year's budget".... Really? In an election year you think the cowardly, weak-kneed, easily frightened Republican establishment is going to risk a fight with the Democrats that could shut the government down?

There's only one hope left for The Wall, and that's if Republicans can gain enough seats in 2018 to get a supermajority, which historically speaking, is unlikely.

The Wall is officially dead. Not gonna happen.
No. Reality won.

Yes, exactly.

The grass-roots conservatives got played...again.

It's all about the money, people.

What's racist or xenophobic about wanting to secure our border?

We've been telling you guys for over a year now there isn't going to be any wall. It was all smoke and mirrors by the greatest con man in the world. But you guys BELIEVED.

It sucks when reality sets in, huh?

$20-25 billion for a wall vs the $113 billion a year costs for supporting illegal aliens. What to do, what to do? Why the objection to completing the 700 mile long wall along the most porous areas of our border already approved by congress in 2006? Yes, it's already proven to work.

Your subject headline is misleading. You imply it was only Liberals who didn't want the wall and then in your first sentence you acknowledge Republicans didn't want the wall either.

So it wasn't Liberals who won -- it wasn't anybody who won really.

It's a ridiculous expenditure.

That 113 billion number makes no sense. There are estimated only be between 11 and 14 million illegals -- think about what that means is being spent per person.

The numbers don't add up.

He knows. He's been called out on that bogus number again and again and again. But you can be certain he will use it again in his next post. He's told this lie so many times he probably believes it's true now.
