Nope, we're just happy that someone is talking about stopping illegal immigration -- something that should have been done 30 years ago. But better late than never.

A wall will not stop illegal immigration. As long as people are desperate enough and there are jobs that will hire them here. They will come. I live in Florida illegals are still coming in and walls aren't needed here.

So you people keep saying. But pardon me for saying that now you've won your election, it's time for the administration to cash the check that the candidate wrote. So - specifics?

Of course not. It's only taxpayer money.

The Trump Administration has already drastically reduced the number of illegal aliens coming into the U.S. The wall will only help keep the rest out. They are welcome to go through the legal process to become immigrants.

The 700 mile long wall along the most porous areas of our border already approved by congress back in 2006 needs to be built. I'd rather help pay for a $25 billion wall than the $113 billion a year that illegals cost us. Sealing off the porous areas of our border will force illegals to try and enter at more dangerous and difficult areas and the Border Patrol can take care of those areas. As for the wall not working.......


Where U.S.-Mexico border fence is tall, it works


San Diego Fence Provides Lessons in Border Control : NPR
You and the bogus 113 billion a year makes one go...YAWN.

Trump DID say Mexico would pay for the wall. He said it. I heard him.

You want the wall, YOU pay for it.

I wanna tax cut instead. Hahahah! What do you think Congress is more interested in?

CLAIM: Gen. Kelly counseled Trump to give up on border wall
Most of which can be immediately switched off.

I want a physical barrier that can't be switched off with the signature of a future POTUS.

31,000 thousand illegals 9,000 pounds marijuana, 1,300 pounds of coccaine caught going into San Diego illegally. (From article)

I would say all that is something America can do without!!!!!
