The president of Guatemala has offered Donald Trump "cheap labor" to build a wall on the border of the United States and Mexico.

"We have high-quality labor, and we'll gladly build," President Jimmy Morales said in a Facebook Live interview conducted by The New York Times en Espanol, reported The Hill.

"Tell us the dimensions, and we know how to do it," said Morales.

Its a joke. A bad pun on Trump. We can hire Americans to build the wall. Plenty are out of work so no problem finding the labor.

Too funny....

Trump will put out bids to AMERICAN companies within the US...but Mexico is still going to get the damn bill. It's their people that are causing us so many problems.

Trump will use Major US contractors and Union labor.

It's worth it at 10x the quoted price.

And it'll be a fine barrier.

IT would be a lot cheaper if we had foreign labor build it. Maybe they could take a look at the Keystone pipeline for us too while they are at it.

Better than a brick and mortor wall would be beefed up armed border patrol with shoot to kill rules of engagement all along the border.

The Guatemalans might put in a few trap doors.

Thanks for the offer Jimmy, but I think the US Army Corps of Engineers should do the job with assistance of local contractors. That way, the job is done right and not intentionally sabotaged.

As soon as the sun went down the Guats would scatter for parts north.
Since Mexico will get the bill, we’re getting pin-striping AND undercoating on that dam wall.

And if old Mehseeco wants to war-war, been there, done that. We’re tired of their habla-habla and fed up with being a dumping ground for their cartels’ human trafficking, surplus citizens plus half of central America and Mexican narcotics.
No tough talk, just sayin.

And Mexico has a killer southern border. Mexico is serious about keeping out all people coming from the southern.

Bring back convict labor. Innumerable sea walls, roads, aqueducts, sewers, and public buildings were constructed using this method over the centuries.

Hire MEXICANS to build it. Starting from the US side going SOUTH.

Serious except when they pay a sufficient pass-through bribe to ride “the beast” train up north where the free stuff awaits.

We already have enough Guatemalans here to build the wall. Just round them up, put them in leg irons and have them build the wall to pay for all the benefits they have stolen from the taxpayer. When the wall is built we charge every illegal to leave or put them at hard labor until they pay off their debts. They can have the price reduced if they tell us who they were working for so we can fine them.

I would bet there would be many Americans who would volunteer and donate a week, or more, of their time to help build the wall. There would likely be some companies that would pitch in, ie catering, tents, port-a-potties, etc.

Get some bands and it’d be a party!
