Building the Wall will DECIMATE the Drug Cartels and the Drug Trade, we Spend Billions of Dollars annually to keep Hundreds of Thousands Government Employee Union Members Employed fighting the War on Drugs. 3 out 4 Police Officers, Judges,DA’s,Clerks,Lawyers,Prison guards,Probation,Parole,..... are employed as a result. If you think we are going to close the border and end this Highly Coveted and Lucrative Enterprise, you are either STUPID or Believe in Unicorns.

No Offense Intended, but I have said for many years that We Need the War on Drugs more than you will ever believe and you Can NOT have a War on Drugs without Drugs!

There is just too much at Stake for the Police State to put up a Wall. Not to Mention the idea that Congress won’t have that Hundred Billion to Spend anymore promoting safety and security7 at the expense of your liberty..

Illegals cost us $360 billion EVERY YEAR. The estimated one shot cost of Trump Wall is estimated between $14-20 billion. Regardless, it will be subsidized by Mexico.

Paul Ryno already said the other day that congress was going to allocate about $10 billion for the wall.

They didn’t worry about that spending and cutting stuff while Obama was in office. They gave him all the spending he wanted, wherever he wanted, in every continuing resolution they did.
They really do think we’re stupid.

These assholes have been in Congress how long when the debt has grown a trillion plus every year? Do these fools have a concept of how much illegals and illegal drugs cost our economy EVERY YEAR? The cost of the wall is chump change. It didn’t bother these assholes for Obama to give Iran $150 BILLION!

If I remember right the reason the bill for building the wall was never implemented is they voted to take away the funding. The bill is still there just no funding for it.

If I’m not mistaken, a bill has already been passed to build a wall and funds appropriated...It just wasn’t done...

Yes!!!

How was this so quickly forgotten by so many people?

You got that right concerning the worthlessness of Neil’n Bob Corker and Lame Alexander. I have never understood how a solidly conservative state like TN has such awful RINO senators. Both of them would better serve their constituents by hanging themselves.

Include it in the infrastructure “investment”. They LOVE infrastructure “investing”. There’s never been infrastructure they didn’t want to “invest” in.

When democRATS are in charge, with the help of RINO repubs. there is no limit for SPENDING OUR MONEY.

But when repubs are in charge....oh no, that cost too much.

I really hate congress. All of them!

“I don’t want to see any spending, additional spending on anything done that is not paid for,” Corker told CNN. “We have got a huge fiscal problem right now — $20.355 trillion in debt projected to add $9.7 trillion over the next 10 years.”

Then why did he vote every budget and every project Obama wanted? This idiot was part of doubling the debt
