Really, do we have to clarify this point yet again? Well.....I guess we do.
"Mexico will pay for the wall" never meant that they were going to write a check. It meant that we would get it from them in other, indirect ways.
* Tariffs
* Fines on their illegals
* Excise Taxes on phone calls
* Confiscation of wages of their illegals
* Currency manipulation
You're welcome.
Lol, sure, two years down the road you can obfuscate Trump’s promise all you want to, but that doesn’t change the fact that Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. He didn’t mean metaphorically, he actually meant they would pay. As in, hand over the money, pay. That’s what all those goofs at his campaign rallies thought and that’s were he failed. Now the rest of the country has to pay for his BS.
The House has all sorts of Rules, Protocols and Traditions.
This joint Resolution is one of them. You will notice that the 60 vote Rule in the Senate is also not in the Constitution ..... but it is the main thing the Senate works under to pass anything at all.
House “rules, protocols, and traditions” are not Constitutional law. They extend no further than the south end of the Capitol.
The 60-vote Senate argument is irrelevant to rhis topic.
There is no stipulation anywhere that controverts the fact that the President is neither required to address the Congress in the House chamber, or indeed to give a speech at all.
CBP officials want a “border wall system” that includes more technology, more manpower, and new infrastructure, but they never mentioned a coast-to-coast wall, which Trump once proposed. A barrier is not effective without technology or access roads, they said, and technology is less effective without barriers
---------------------------
I haven't seen anyone in any wall thread call for a continuous wall from San Diego to Brownsville.
Many on here have talked about the wall, the wall, the wall, and my point is even the CBP doesn't think a "wall" is the answer.
Why won't Trump accept the $5.7 billion for border security that the Dems are offering? It's because he wants his monument. Now he wants to declare a national emergency. What a moron.
It's something that Oldglory has been pushing here nonstop for months now. Every time I see him post it again all I can think of is, "Squawk, squawk! Polly wanna cracker?"

Yet, you didn't give a damn back in 2006 that it was to be the rest of the country to pay for the wall.
It is a fact that those from known terrorist countries have slipped thru our southern border right along with these illegal aliens and disappeared into our country even the former FBI Director has said so. We certainly don't need more of them getting in here. If that's not a threat to our citizens then I don't know what is.
Illegal aliens cost us over $100 billion a year. Those taxes should go to helping our own citizens. Where did I say anything about being trampled by a caravan? If Trump's promise of a wall has failed it's because of the stubbornness of the Democrats and in particular Schumer and Pelosi so that's on them not Trump. They are holding our border security hostage and don't give a damn about these furloughed workers. The safety and security of over 320 million Americans is more important than that because they will get their back pay. If another terrorist attacks occurs because of ineffective security at our border it will impact all of us!
I posted a link denoting how Trump can make Mexico pay down the line so why do you and yours keep repeating yourselves like parrots in here day in and day out? I also asked where was your concern back in 2006 when the actual wall bill passed and it was to be soley funded by the taxpayer. Crickets..... Why the refusal to answer that question?
Your paragraph one. Has been asked and answered ad infinatum. It has been refuted. You just keep posting the same stupid crap. Trust me, it’s not going to be any more accurate than the first time you posted.
Your paragraph two. You have been shown numerous times that your figures were derived from a discredited organization. Yet you post the same drivel. It’s not going to be anymore accurate than the first time you posted.
Your paragraph three. I’ve lost track of how many people have responded to you about your 2006 “gotcha” post and pointed out that the circumstances of the 2006 funding have nothing to do with Trumps wall. Trust me, your 2006 argument is not going to be anymore convincing now then the first time you posted.

Beautiful!!! Finally, a post that makes absolute sense and tells the truth in no uncertain terms. If anyone questions the validity of this statement, please see your pocket Constitution.
