Latin American nations throwing off communist dictatorships can be witty in their protests, starting with that staple of Latin protests, the pot-banger, or cacerolazo, which is the spectacle of angry housewives beating on pots and pans, originally done to protest Marxist dictators. It was a practice started in Chile in 1971, when angry housewives protested Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's little pawn in Santiago, Salvador Allende, and all his signature shortages of socialism, by chasing his minions around, beating on pots and pans. It's what got the ball rolling in the current unrest in Venezuela and has been used on Marxist dictator Nicolás Maduro quite a bit.
Here is another funny one from Honduras, dating from its effort to throw out a detested communist dictator, Hugo Chávez's pawn, Mel Zelaya, in 2009. At the time, Hondurans were being reviled and sanctioned by the Obama administration and much of the West for their courage. Some of the response was humor. I've also seen good stuff at Miami protests against Castro. My favorite sign? "No Castro, No Problem." Miami Cubans even made that into a bumper sticker, and the left screamed.
Now Venezuelans have come up with a good one, this time explicitly addressed to President Trump:
#VeneZuela January 23, President Trump, if you help us to kick Maduro and all his thieves, we build the Mexican wall and paint it too. pic.twitter.com/KchJlT2aHT— 360 Grades (@360socialpixel) January 25, 2019

I doubt it. Get rid of the Commies and Venezuela can be one of the richest and most modern countries in the Americas. The Central American migrants and Mexicans might want to go there rather the to the US.
Can you blame them?
Everyone who helps to build it and paint (and pass a background check) will be offered citizenship. They are the least likely to vote for a socialist/communist.
Send her to them since she likes them so much.
Worth it.
Great. It would be funny for the President to modify WSC’s remarks on Lend Lease: “Very well, the USA will give you the tools for you to do the job to clean your own house and then await you art the border. Viva Venezuela!”.
We need a go fund me to give them support.
And then all of Venezuela wants to come live here. Nope. No deal.
Venezuelans shaming Mexico - gotta love it
Paint the south side in the blackest black paint so it gets hotter than Hell during the day.
