Bulletin. The crossers are Central Americans, not Mexicans these days. Oh...that changed about a decade ago, maybe your cable is out.

Life is good here in MX where I live. MX won another World Cup game today. Cervezas all around

About that wall...

Keep us updated.

Previously I thought the Mexicans were good people
But when I met a Mexican I found him a bad man
I think Mr. Trump has the right to look at the Mexicans

Maybe you've forgotten that Republicans have the majority in both houses & the presidency. This is a GOP problem. In short Trump can't even persuade his own party that the money for his wall is warranted.


The Republicans could give Trump his money tomorrow, so why haven't they? I watched an interview with the Republican mayor of El Paso, he said that Trump's wall would not be effective and that taking young children from their parents to force congress into giving Trump the funds for the wall was despicable.


But as we all know, despicable describes Trump perfectly.

Hold it right there.

Trump said Mexico would pay for it. Every time he spoke about the wall he said Mexico would pay for it.

So, no. The American taxpayer shouldn’t have to pay a dime.

Who was supposed to pay for this wall? Mexico, Not Taxpayers. Trump drove that issue at his rallies. Now, Trump has lied about that too. After the Tax Scam he pushed through, where is the money coming from? Cuts to Medicare and Social security?

When you get in with less then the majority of votes, you do not have a mandate.

Ridiculous to judge all by the actions of one.

It is because of a lack of political will. $25 billion is a drop in a bucket for a country as rich as the United States.

The vast majority of Americans are against illegal immigration from Mexico. However, many people are confused about how to solve the issue. With a little persuasion, people can be convinced that the Wall is necessary to protect America’s people, its laws against illegal entry and its values. Plus, we need to work with Mexico to help reduce the flow of illegal immigration across that country as well.

We shouldn’t have to be put in a position where we have to detain thousands of illegal immigrants coming into the United States in the first place.
