I know! Can you believe all of those lefty liberals at the Trump rallies chanting that Mexico was going to pay for it?

The earth, the environment, the circle of life, trumps everything, in my book. Especially when there are alternatives that don't kill the earth or its creatures (including us).
It's nonsense that it will harm wildlife and since when is wildlife more important that the safety and security of human beings anyway? There is no alternative to securing our border than with good physical barriers in places where it is feasible. It's not like we're going to build a wall along our entire border, you know. Excuses, excuses that's all we hear from the anti-wall people with an agenda.

Why don't democrats start a campaign to take in the illegals and feed them if they so support them coming here.. action speaks louder than words. Pelosi could take in dozens in her home.

The sentence right after that says:

What follows after is the description at least 5 other ways that Mexico will be forced to pay for the wall.

What are your questions?
"Compelled to pay for the wall" as in, one-time payment.

Trump's campaign can't write, but his followers evidently can't read, so I guess it evens out.

At $750 per night, as in the camps? Dude, sign me up! I'll take 10.

Writing is on the wall. Trump waffled and asked for negative interest rates and at the same time pushed back on tariffs that were supposed to start on Oct 1st because of China's big holiday. Can we appear any weaker??


The number of people apprehended along the southern border fell by 61 percent between this year's high point in May and the end of August. In Yuma, it fell by 86 percent, according to government figures. Most people apprehended are either traveling as families or are unaccompanied children.
Illegal crossings always plummet during the summer months because of the heat, duh. What difference does it make if they are families and/or unaccompanied children? We don't want them here illegally nor making bogus asylum claims to get into our country.

Keeping the illegals off the welfare roles will pay for it easily.

Yes it would. It would make it a whole lot more difficult for you to cross.

Also once the word spreads back home it will cut back on the flow.

Walls do work.

Spending money on building a wall in a failing economy is like trying to sell a horse and carriage at a Ford dealership.
