You just stated the case for The Wall. $18B a year spent on health care for illegals. Are they more important than Americans? Infrastructure is crumbling under the strain of millions of people who shouldn't be here.

If you want to pay for it, go right ahead, but not with my money.

SO, you're cool with sending them your money for other things...


You do know we just sent them 10 Billion+ right....that's your money also...

Posters who say walls (the new walls just built) don't work, when given factual evidence it does work and continue to say they don't work are posting fake news.

I see nothing wrong with pointing out that there are much more important things to be spending our money on than a wall that virtually nobody outside a small minority of Americans want.

10 Billion was just sent to Mexico, to help them....


Next....

False. The $5 Bil wall is an expensive boondoggle. You can get the same or better border security with fences + technology + Border Patrol, which costs less.

The Wall has nothing to do with border security. It's a monument to Trump's ego.

For every illegal migrant we find, reduce imports from Mexico by $100,000. Mexico will have the wall built in no time.

Should America tear down the current physical walls and fences that divide Mexico and the USA?

Should people use ridiculous straw man arguments as thread titles?

How about we arrange an express bus service from the border to your neighborhood?
