You don't know any of that. How do you know how the loans are structured? How do you know they can't be sold like any other mortage-backed security? Let me guess: you don't want any border barrier.

I mean Israel is a prime example of a border wall having massive success. The lie that leftists continue to repeat on this issue is intentional and aimed at misleading those ignorant on the issus.

Idiots are the ones who believed Trump when he said Mexico would pay for it. Sorry, not paying for it when our country desperately needs repairs on infrastructure among other things.

I don't think anyone seriously says walls don't work. But Mexico was going to pay for this wall. Unless you are willing to admit that Trump and all Trump supporters like yourself are liars, then we are going to hold you guys to this chant.

Of course you can get out of this lie by making up another lie that no one ever said Mexico will pay for the wall. Go ahead. Don't let me stop you from lying some more.

We need a president who leads, not a president who listens to conservative talking heads guiding him. This is just insane.
I would take this to the end. Republicans need to win this shutdown battle once. They have never lasted long enough to find out. If Congress has the right not appropriate funds, the president is just as much within his rights not to sign it. Why is it just on Trump to come around?

So that's all you have? Mexico pays for it? Let's say they did, would you be for the wall? Gimme a break. You wouldn't want it if it came free. You have the blue jersey on and that's that.

It's on Trump because he said Mexico would pay for it. If he campaigned on the wall being built with our taxes he would not have been elected.

Trump owns this shutdown. Here's a video. From the horse's mouth starting at 1:33.

Maybe Trump was shorting the market to make money for the Border Wall...
