Big deal! 21 billion? Think of the savings when we spend over a hundred billion on illegal welfare

[BBB333]

I don’t give a DAMN it it’s $150 billion or more.

BUILD THE WALL!

[FlingWingFlyer]

We can save that much by not having to handout freebies and “entitlements” to illegals over six months.

[jiggyboy]

Sanctuary City savings + 2% fee on “remittances” to Mexico, done.

[MeganC]

It’s worth it. Build it.

[grobdriver]

Build. It.

[Sacajaweau]

But don't worry...it'll be completed sooner and under budget.

It has to be done....The Dems have been jerking this around for 8 years....

There was ALWAYS supposed to be a wall.

Please be aware that wall and fence were used interchangeably in earlier talks about the "wall".

[mad_as_he$$]

Fake news. Report from Obama’s DHS.

[Navin Johnson]

Compared to $6 trillion spent in the Middle East....

[donozark]

Use non-union labor. Cost$ will plummet 50%. If only New Mexico and California were Right to Work States this would be possible.

[TigerClaws]

Worth every penny.

Not mentioned is the swcureiry if thweews a mass economic meltdown or doisease epidemic. We need to coontrol oiur pir borders.

[Nifster]

I don’t believe anything DHS produced recently. It is full of obozo supporters

[SMM48]

Who told Reuters the details before telling the head of DHS?

[Jim W N]

I’m sure the wall needs to be built, but let’s not kid ourselves. We’re not making Mexico pay for it by putting a tariff (tax) on their imports because Mexico doesn’t pay for our tariffs. The American consumer does. Under that scenario, the American consumer pays for the wall. Maybe that’s OK.

The wall needs to be built and unless Mexico is somehow cowed into handing over some or all of the $21 billion, the American consumer will pay for it. So be it.

[Fresh Wind]

Think of the savings when we spend over a hundred billion on illegal welfare

And that's an ANNUAL cost.

[dangerdoc]

The wall will pay for itself just in saved medical costs for drug overdoses.

Build it!

[onona]

Don’t care Don’t care Don’t care.

[gibsonguy]

The purpose of this “leak” was to weaken the resolve to build the wall. They better get this started. The Rats the GOPe and the courts loading are loading the cannons to stop the wall.

[Paladin2]

Just get on with it already.

The patrols can be set up and put in place before the wall is even built.
