Trump has shut down the government over what he proposed Mexico was to pay for. Should we pay for it?
How much did we pay to involve ourselves in Syria? None of our business.
How much have we blown on Yemen? None of our business.
How much do we spend patrolling the border between North and South Korea? What makes securing their border more important than securing our own?
How much are we spending jailing illegals who break our laws, educating the children of illegals, providing medical care for illegals etc. ?
Seems like 5 billion is a bargain compared what else we waste.
True, let's bring home the thousands of troops stationed in Germany, Japan, Irac, and Afghanistan, station them on our Southern border, problem solved!
I would like the money already earmarked for border security to be spent on actual border security including hiring more people to patrol the borders. Not sure it makes sense to militarize the border but ok.

The children of illegals, are American citizens. You get that right?
Anyway, so since we waste money elsewhere we should waste another 5 billion? You get that is moronic right?
As for the wall idea $5 billion is just a start, it will cost much more than this. The big myth is libs do not want border security. That is complete nonsense. But as long as smugglers can dig tunnels and use ladders many of us feel the wall is not going to solve the problem.
How can the Democrats be responsible when they don't control anything currently?
What a strange grasp of reality...
It is utterly bizarre. The republicans have been in full power for two years now. So why aren't these things getting done?? A president can't accomplish basic campaign promises with the House and the Senate comprised of his own party and the minions blame the OTHER party? On what planet does that make any sense at all?
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.

Not all or even most. You know that right? The ones they dragged along with them breaking into our country are no more citizens than their criminal parents. Yet we by law must educate them. They use our ER's and dont pay.
The wall may prevent some of what we blow on illegals, where as the other waste I listed? No chance of any return.
What is moronic is assuming that all children of illegals are US citizens.
My point stands. As waste goes that wall is a bargain compared to what we waste securing other countries.

No one solution will completely solve this issue. A barrier will help solve the problem, only people that want to deny the president his agenda will disagree with this. Every bit of money we spend on protecting our border is a good investment. Our government wastes billions on nonsense every year that doesn’t benefit our citizens in anyway. Let’s do national e-verify as well

Moronic is "doing the same thing over and over even though it doesn't solve the problem". That's the way border security works - we have been obviously doing it wrong for many, many years. It got worse under Obama when he arbitrarily relaxed the rules.
