If the US Government offered/ issued a redeemable or even a non redeemable wall/ fence Bond, would you purchase them?

Yes. There were War Bonds in WW I and WW II. This invasion is a war.

I asked about patriotic Americans.

For those of you Never-Trumpers President Trump word is the same as President Obama’s word.

As a lifelong bookkeeper/accounting person, I would advise Trump to do a “GO FUND ME” page for the WALL.

FAR less paperwork, and even allow these donations to be a deduction on income tax forms.

Money will come in very fast, even if only in $20 increments.

THAT I would donate to. I am far too old to buy “BONDS” which the Dems will renege on.

You betcha I would donate to building the wall. Heck yes. At least my self-imposed tax would be going to something useful and necessary that I agree with. Beats my taxes going to Planned Parenthood and EPA.

I’d prefer to get back a portion of what we will save when it’s built instead...

Which based on my simple calumniation could be quite a bit

Seeing as the wall would cost an estimated $21.6 billion

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-wall-exclusive-idUSKBN15O2ZN

and illegals cost us anywhere from $49 to $279 billion annually depending on the source

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/jan/23/donald-trump/does-immigration-policy-impose-300-billion-annuall/

-—Our ruling
The White House claimed that “current immigration policy imposes as much as $300 billion annually in net fiscal costs on U.S. taxpayers.”

A study from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine analyzed the fiscal impact of immigration under different scenarios. Under some assumptions, the fiscal burden was $279 billion, but $43 billion in other scenarios.-—

and does not even factor in the billions siphoned off our economy but spent in other economies..

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/02/10/514172676/mexicans-in-the-u-s-are-sending-home-more-money-than-ever

-—Migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean are sending more money to their families back home than ever before.

These annual “remittances” — as they’re called by analysts — topped $69 billion in 2016, according to central bank data compiled in a new report by the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank. The money has been a lifeline for the national economies of many countries in the region since at least the 1990s, when Manuel Orozco, a political scientist who authored the report, first began tracking remittances. They climbed steadily since then, only to plummet when the Great Recession hit the U.S. economy in 2008. But they began to rise again in 2012. The 2016 tally is the highest amount on record and an increase of nearly 8 percent over 2015.

About 40 percent of the money goes to just one country — Mexico — practically all of it sent by migrants in the United States.-—

There are MASSIVE amounts of $$$ sent every Payday by workers using WU. They will get a $500-600 Payday and keep like $50-75 to live on in the 2 bedroom apartment with 25+ others splitting the rent, bills and food/beer in the collective. They Hot Rack just like a Sub Crew does,

I guess they lost their hair. I included redeemable bond, which could be paid from funds saved or collected from Mexico.

That I could kind of go along with, but I would want to be able to demand the Mexico redeem the bond at some defined point in time, and that that demand would be backed by the full faith and power of the US Military.
