Why are all the Trumpers who gladly shouted Build the Wall and Mexico will pay for it, now ok with passing the bill down to this country?
Switch the topic. Nope. FACT

These are the facts....
  • Democrats spend $746B to fight pointless wars of choice, on the other side of the planet, that got 1000s killed for nothing.
  • Democrats refuse to spend a small $5B to secure our own border.
Why? To make Trump look bad. No other reason. Especially since they were happy to vote for it in the past.

I'd be happy to contribute to the wall but I wouldn't give one dollar to GoFundMe if it cured cancer.

Are you saying the Republicans refused to pay for it for two years because THEY wanted Trump to look bad? Why should the Democrats agree to something the Republicans would not?

BTW, George Bush started those wars, with the firm backing of Fox News ... Hannity ... O'Reilly ... and Rush Limbaugh out in radioland. We all remember that. Don't be so disingenuous.

Trump wants five billion! LOL

The GoFundMe goal is $1B. $18M has been raised in only 11 days and most people still don't know this fund exists. I didn't. Any money raised is worth it. No?

Democrats are more interested in illegals, anchor babies, and amnesty than enforcing our existing immigration laws. They couldn't care less for the safety and well being of citizens. Those that vote for them are naïve, ignorant, and lied to.


How can you tell when a democrat or RINO lies? Their lips move.

Republicans: "Gun control won't work because criminals don't follow the rules."

Also Republicans: "Our president is going to shut down the legal border entries because of illegal immigration."

This would be the wisest method. A ton of money gets transferred down there to relatives.

Ever heard of tunnel sensors? No one has tunneled under the good walls nor have they made it over with ladders. The last one who tried broke both legs trying. I'm not giving any credence to what you and yours "think". The facts speak for themselves and so do the Border Patrol and Homeland Security. You guys know better than them?

It's moot now; he will be a lame duck for the next two years and then we can hopefully wrap up this embarrassing chapter in our country's history.

It takes a certain number of the opposing party to fund anything and there are many Republicans in congress that are bucking Trump also. I'm surprised that you don't know that. Maybe a class in political science could help you?


It's embarrassing to seek funding for the security and safety of our nation? Who'd have thunk it?

Why don't liberals pay for the wall? They voted for these traitor democrats that always vote against enforcement of immigration law.
Not necessarily.
