I am reading that the great border WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I have not gotten involved in the.....
...design or negotiations yet. When I do, just like with the F-35 FighterJet or the Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN!
If people violating immigration laws were sentenced to hard labor building the wall before being deported, would that not reduce the cost of the wall?
A good start is diverting funding from entities (that really shouldn’t qualify for funding to begin with) like PBS and NPR and “the arts” and putting it where it belongs (National Security)
No matter what the cost the wall will pay for itself.
Jaw-boning the cost down is good but you can’t put a price on security.Whatever it takes!
You hit the nail on the head.....it’s an investment.
I’m just worried The Wall might slow down the exiting illegal aliens.
Just make sure there are enough doors that won’t hit them in the butts on their way outta the country.
Put them in labor camps making compressed earth blocks. After they reach their quota of blocks, they can go back to Mexico.
Actually, much more could be gathered from confiscating all federal monies from Sanctuary cities.
Mr. President I would like to contribute to the wall? Is there a fund?
easy solution. You have captured illegal aliens build the darn wall overseen by the US military!
“I’m just worried The Wall might slow down the exiting illegal aliens.”
With 5000 new border/ice agents pledged by Pres Trump, it will certainly help.
No problem. Place a surtax on all government funded universities and colleges. Make them pay their fair share.
Just amazing how President Trump can bypass all of the news feed and communicate directly with the American people.
Just Wow!
$21 Billion by last count. A mere pittance, compared to what those leeching perps cost our Country in murder, mayhem, rape, welfare drain, obstetric, pediatric and other medical care cost to us in just 1 year.
Time for Trump to say he doesn’t care about the cost nor cost overruns.
Then, every time a journalist asks him about the increasing costs, he can say, “Hey that’s fine.”
Mexico will pay, even if eventually, and...
Take out drug cartel money held by the government, and...
Charge a hefty customs fee (like a 30% tax or whatever it takes) for all money, money orders, etc. going to Mexico.
Charge a hefty toll for all vehicular traffic coming into USA at the border.
Of course he will come up with some innovative way for the wall to be paid...
A tariff. Which would be great.
I will donate towards the wall.
I totally agree but why not kill two birds with one stone. ;)
Yes. That's the answer.
Just think: when they get back home, they can put "brickmaker" on their resume.
Win-Win.
