So Ted wants to keep the president’s promise that “Mexico will pay for it.”

It would be the best way to redeem blood money of the victims. But, redemption is not a liberal thing, condemnation and defeatist pessimism is.

Ryan let it die when it could have been passed in an afternoon. The GOP was too busy stabbing Trump in the back.

And people expect Trump to drain a swamp the size of D.C. and 100 miles deep in a couple years. All this is expected when he's surrounded by backstabbing seditious posers throwing down spike strips every inch of the way.

Beautifully stated, Dragnet2!
They have been defying him at every turn.
Just imagine what he COULD have accomplished, had they been on his side.

It isn’t just the votes from illegals that the Dems want..
If President Trump gets that wall, there is NOTHING they could do to top something like that, and they KNOW it!

American drug addicts will pay for the
wall. Which isn’t a bad thing. Kind of
like paying for one’s own rehabilitation.

Key Word: IF

Even if this doesn’t materialize, it reframes the need for a wall on stopping lethal drugs.

Build a wall to impede the flow of drugs.

While libs and the ill informed ignore or love the flow of illegals, some loathe the flow of drugs.

Stopping lethal heroin, fentanyl & cocaine morally justifies a wall.

It is really so absurd. We are being invaded and will be replaced by millions of foreigners while they are simultaneously killing thousands of Americans annually by shooting, knifing, drunk driving, and drugs.

The government already has the authority to seize drug money. Why the need for this bill?

Aren’t Guzman’s assets in Mexico? How do you seize assets from a foreign country without invading?

someone on fox suggested putting the names of people on the border wall that died of drugs (like the Viet Nam war memorial)

Memorialize those who made the stupid CHOICE to abuse drugs? Can't agree. Innocent victims of drug related violence, I could live with.

Never happen i like Ted but he knows it. He is prone to proposing things that he knows will never happen.

So he's a typical politician and the very opposite of president Trump.
