The point is also to force illegal aliens to try and enter at more dangerous and difficult areas so fewer will try and fewer will succeed. I guess that also escapes you and yours.
As it was never funded it doesn't seem like it is a priority. Someone has to pay for all of Trump's golf trips.

And just why wasn't it a priority? I'll show you why with the below link and it goes to show what traitors we had in congress back then. Congress should not pass legislation and not follow through on implementing it as it's a waste of their time and the taxpayer's money.


WTH does Trump's golf trips have to do with this? He wasn't even president back in 2006 and he doesn't even take a salary as president now. Your statement was completely idiotic. Why don't you have a problem with the over $100 billion a year that illegals cost us instead? I'm sure Trump's golf outings don't cost anywheres near that much.

Don't get yourself too worked up....it's not good for our health.

Hey, you can only do what you can do. Vote. Donate. Contact your Representatives. Etc.

It's highly doubtful you are going to convince the majority of Americans that a taxpayer-funded boondoggle for political purposes is worthwhile.

I remember all the hubbub about Star Wars (another boondoggle) 30+ years ago. Trillions in defense spending later we don't have anything remotely close.

Words are very easy...actions or result harder.

Nope, you haven't explained. You've just incessantly tried to justify Trump's lies but your attempts remain a failure. Trump said what he said, nothing you claim will ever change that. It has nothing go do about wanting or not wanting the wall, Trump owns the words he said.

Are the juvenile insults really necessary? Ever heard of civil debate?
Trump does not need support from democrats since republicans are the majority. They could easily pass anything without democrats. The problem is many republicans don’t want to fund the wall either. You should be blaming your own party

Wrong.

Republicans haven't had filibuster proof majority in the Senate for these last two years, and still won't for the next two years.

Why would republicans need to filibuster when they are in control.

Were you and yours all bent out of shape in 2006 when the wall bill was actually passed and no plan for anyone else to pay for it but the U.S. taxpayer? Here's Trump's plan and I don't really care who pays for it anyway as it's well needed, cost effective and the good walls do work. I don't put a price on our national security because without it we have no country. You and yours priorities are so screwed up but then so is your real agenda against building the wall. You fool no one.
