Dig 2 trenches. Fill them with barbed wire.

Jorge is a hypocrite and a bigot. He doesn’t speak out against Mexico’s OWN stance against illegal immigrants entering their country.

$20,000,000,000. Oh the horror.

Obama gave away trillions to bail out his crony fascist pals.

According to an estimate calculated by The New York Times,
NYT being the experts at construction costs and all...

Maybe they did their estimates using NY City public employees to build the wall.

I dont like the wall idea either.

2 rows of 20ft high electrified fence with topped with razor wire and 1000’s of armed robotic sentries bewteen them programmed to shoot on site anyone who tries to breach the border.

Do it across Canada too.

It’s only pointless because you think it is, but then again, your not important so your opinion doesn’t matter.....

If Mexicans can get to Canada without entering the US, they will likely choose to remain in Canada, eh?

During his press conference in New York on Thursday, Donald Trump reiterated his dedication to building a massive wall along the entire southern border of the United States with Mexico.

I actually watched the press conference. I consider my memory and comprehension as excellent.
Being a retired Engineer, and being familiar with all the multiple ways of lying, after reading this first sentence I chose not to waste my time reading the remainder.

Parsing and editing and distorting seems to have become the standard with the "progressive" gang.

Maybe someday we can show Jorge why the wall around his million dollar mansion is pointless.

Send every Mexican home and charge a 25% tariff for everything that comes from Mexico.

That Wall has a ONE MONTH ROI.

Well.....for openers, he’s a liar of the Barky Obunga class.

According to an estimate calculated by The New York Times, building the wall will cost $16 million per mile for a total of about $20 billion.

That's what it's costing the American taxpayer for about 3 months of total expense of all kinds to support the illegal alien invasion we already have, and the medical complications to citizens and legal residents that are continually infected nationwide..

I fail to see the financial panic implied.

Anyone who hears anything at all sensible in what Ramos has been spewing lately obviously knew what they wanted to hear beforehand.

16 million a mile? Not for a builder. Maybe 4 if it is short, but hell, 2 if it is 1900 miles. 2.5 billion tops for the whole thing.

I say we allow Donald the rest of the 20 to ensure his legacy. I suggest adds on the border facing out on how great it would be to come to this country LEGALLY. Big screen TV’s Built in America. Heck, we have 17.5 billion to work with. Think about it.

How much do all the aliens cost just the State of California every year? Does it stop at $20 Billion a year?

It is amazing to me all of these people who are so upset about a plan that they are 100% sure won’t work. If they are so sure, why do they care?

They are upset precisely because they know it will work.

I mst be missing something, I haven’t seen hoards of Chinese people hanging out at Home Depot.

Why is he so concerned about us ‘wasting our time and money’?

Because he's an American citizen (/ sarc). Never mind that he is an illegal himself, who joined one of the waves of illegal conversion.
He's also a Mexican citizen, activist and Aztlan promoter.

Journalist?
Uh huh.
Sure.

People coming in on a visa are required to promise they will leave when their visa is up. Based on their representation that they will leave, they are let into this country for a defined length of time. Anyone who overstays, upon detection by law enforcement (there’s a laugh) needs to be fined, kicked out of the country summarily, and never, ever allowed to return. Period.

In Ramos' case it's too late.
He came to Los Angeles to attend Journalism School at UCLA. I don't think he ever got his degree, and he joined the parade of fake "citizens," somewhere along the line.
So if he made such a promise, he lied.

:-)

It was a rhetorical question. He’s concerned about our time and money the same way that the lefty media is concerned that we pick the right ‘Conservative’ nominee.
