I guess they are just going to ask nicely if they can build a wall on all that private property? And is this after they get the check from Mexico?

And I think Russia and England among our other allies at the time had a hand in defeating Germany and Japan.

Are unions working on the wall now? Hey, that raises a question. Aren't unions supposed to be for jobs? Have you heard a peep from them? How many workers per mile? I guess if Trump creates jobs, they don't want them.
