The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later! 3:19 AM - 6 Jan 2017
-------------------------------Snip-----------------------------------------------
President-elect Donald Trump opened the news agenda this Friday morning with a 3AM tweet about the new border wall referring to it as the "Great Wall" while clarifying what the dishonest media deliberately fails to report.
Initially U.S. money will be utilized for the "sake of speed," and later, Mexico will be reimbursing the building cost of the border wall.
His incoming administration has been considering to request that Congress will ensure that the necessary funding is available for the border wall. There is already existing legislation passed, the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which enabled 700 miles of division (fencing and other technology) to be built along the U.S.-California / Mexican border.
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 was passed in the House of Representatives (283-138), then passed in the Senate (80-19) and was signed by President Bush (Pub.L. 109367) into law stating, This bill will help protect the American people. This bill will make our borders more secure. It is an important step toward immigration reform."
The law authorized vehicle barriers, checkpoints, lighting, and authorized DHS to increase the use of advanced technology including cameras, satellites, and drones to reinforce infrastructure at the border.
By utilizing the existing law, the border- "Great Wall" will be erected expeditiously without a legislative fight in Congress. Mexico will reimburse American taxpayers for a new border wall and it will help protect the American people.
Money should be the least of our worries...... Exactly!!
We spend billions on faux- religious organizations to resettle millions of what?
indigent illiterate disease-ridden foreigners -that supply gangs with criminals - that drugs to our children - and those groups contain terrorists itching to kill us.
Build it January 21, 2017.
We throw money away every day, like it grows on trees.
Moochelle donated $100 million US tax dollars to Morocco- (we want the money back.) The money spent on their lavish potus family vacations could have paid for the rest of California /Mex wall.
The wall can only be a fence in some areas. The area surrounding the Big Bend National Park in Texas is one of those places. The Rio Grand is the divider, but there are 1,000 foot rocky cliffs on either side.
That place has been challenging for them to cross, but some continue to make it through in the winter months when it’s under 100 degrees.
Thankfully, Kay Bailey Hutchinson (TX) is out of the Senate. She destroyed any chance of a secure border in TX and opened us up to law suits over it.
Mexico is ALREADY paying for it, as American Companies move their factories back to America.
It is not a matter of “who pays for this load of bricks, or that bag of mortar”.
Right, but Trump moved the goal posts, right from the start.
It became understood and accepted that there would be a wall, it was mainstreamed and expected, at least by 99% of us. No IF’s.
Now, it’s just about the details- how to do it and how to pay.
And we have the perfect legislation that does not require a vote or debate to build the wall- The Secure Fence Act which was only funded with 1.2 billion rather than 7 billion by Congress in 2006.
How much money have we blown in foreign aid, building infrastructure in foreign lands, much of it permanently squandered and flushed down the toilet? All from US tax dollars.
Nice.
Soon my tagline, which I’ve had for more than a year, maybe even 18 months, will come true.

K.B. Hutchinson-W’s puppet. She was labelled a ‘Panderer to the Criminal Invader’ and traitor to border security.
Yes, that’s right, Mexico has already begun to pay. And now they will pay handsomely to care of their very poorest of people that they have been importing to the US.
We have provided free health care, housing, and education for 1/4 of Mexico for decades. It’s over.
Awesome!
The Great Wall of Trump s.
And the remittances will cease as well.
Hillary Clinton voted for this Secure Fence Act-2006. Of course, none of the weak-kneed quislings ever intended that the fence would be built, but we should demand that the law be obeyed and the funds allocated. The US could have saved billions in border security costs, welfare costs, education costs, criminal prosecution costs, incarceration costs had the wall been built to keep illegals out a decade ago.
Lol.. the check is in the mail taxpayers, I promise! If you fell for that, you need to move to San Fran, and never leave.
Bank BBVA Bancomer has forecast that those Mexicans will have sent a record $27 billion in remittances into Mexico in 2016, an increase of more than $2 billion over 2015.
This past November, 2016 - 2.4 billion was sent by Mexicans from the US.
It looks like stopping this, or surcharging this would pay for the wall very, very easily.
Declare that illegals will be sentenced to chain gangs, working to build the wall.
Mexico is already paying by the American factories moving back to America, it’s already begun! LOL
That $27 billion dollars earned on American soil this year that took away American’s jobs will not be transferred down to Mexico in 2017- that Game’s over. Those billions will be staying here.
The money that we pay by providing free health care, free education, and free housing, and free food to aliens would easily fund the cost of the wall.
If it didn’t cover a single dime, many, self included, would be happy to be taxed to build a wall and secure that border.
Yes...my thoughts exactly.
Trump does not even have to present an invoice to mexico. It will all just “happen” and they WILL pay for the wall, and then some.
