Wrong, Trump repeatedly said Mexico will pay for the wall. Not tax payers will pay for the wall and Mexico will pay us back through better deals. Do we need to post all the videos of Trump saying who will pay for the wall?
Trump never said that Mexico would just give us the money. If he did, please show me the quote. He said Mexico would "pay" for the wall. There are many ways, and many vehicles in which to "PAY" for something. Think outside the box, or maybe just be a Trump hater, and CLOSE MINDED. The savings we will see, and better trade deals that Trump is negotiating will PAY for the wall. We have tremendous leverage over Mexico. They NEED us, we don't need them.

Hmm. Thanks. I am going to think outside of the box when it comes time to "pay" my mortgage. There's got to be a better way than what I am doing now - just sending the money to the bank. Sorry, your semantic lift and reasoning on what "pay" really means are utterly absurd.
And FWIW, we do need them. We do not have the population needed to produce the goods and services our immensely wealthy nation demands. We all need each other in the global economy of the 21st century. We all derive benefits from our association.
In latest @CNN poll, share in each group that supports building #borderwall if Mexico does not pay: 18-34, 23%; 35-49, 35%; college+ whites, 30%; independents, 32%; non-whites, 22%. All the groups that powered Dem mid-term win overwhelmingly oppose wall, esp w/out Mexico $.
The same groups that fueled the D takeover of the House in 2018, and the same groups that place Trump in a precarious position in 2020, assuming he actually runs for re-election.

Next time you go to the Grocery Store and start choosing vegetables and fruits, maybe it might awaken you to how much you need Mexican and Central American People..... because its a fact that working poor and poor whites are not going to take the jobs to work picking and packing these produce, and one might want to pay attention to where the imported vegetables and fruits come from...... and this is only one variable of things among the many many things that Mexicans and Central American people contribute to the functioning of America.
Right Winger's continue to demonstrate how they will take anything for granted until it comes time for them to do it for themselves; which is something they are not going to do.
America has seen 100's of years of that gluttonous disrespectful mentality... that is consumed in vanity and hoarding something.
PEÑA NIETO:
... You have a very big mark on our back, Mr. President, regarding who pays for the wall. This is what I suggest, Mr. President – let us stop talking about the wall. I have recognized the right of any government to protect its borders as it deems necessary and convenient. But my position has been and will continue to be very firm saying that Mexico cannot pay for that wall.
Individual 1: But you cannot say that to the press. The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that. ...
Trump tries to get Mexico to lie and leave Americans with the false impression that Mexico will pay for the wall. Trump continues at this point to lie to his followers about it.

I suspect most agree that this whole shutdown is a made-up crisis.
Im not contesting the results of the poll, but what I will say, is that the problem with many polls is the verbiage.
Many are absolutely designed to generate a specific result.
For example: If you were told that the wall which is estimated to cost 16 billion dollars will actually cost 60 billion, would you be:1 Very in favor, 2 somewhat in favor 3 neutral, 4 somewhat against or very against?
I can go on and on but most surveys and polls I have participated in are done as such. They dont allow the respondent to really reply what they actually feel or to question the veracity of the statement.
