    The Bufoon-in-Chief promised that one of his first acts as President would be to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. And Mexico would pay for that wall.



    So, what progress has been made on the Trump wall and how much has Mexico paid to construct that wall? Nothing.

    Another self serving Trump lie.

    All the border wall prototypes should be measured by how long it takes to take a boat around them ...

    Only one problem with that scheme - it would seriously affect everyone not just Mexicans

    Where's the Mexican payment(s) for the wall? Trump promised that Mexico would pay for the wall. Or was that just another one of his lies designed to get him elected?

    The answer is simple.
    Trump will just lie and say the wall has been built and paid for by Mexico.
    His chumps believe anything he says, so what's the problem?
    When news reports come out that he's telling yet another lie, the chumps will just continue to hum to themselves with their fingers in their ears as they have been doing all along.
    I have never witnessed anything so crazy in America.

    A Proposed New Tax, Mainly On Latinos, To Pay For Trump's Border Wall :cheerleader::rock_slayer::banana::clapping::clap:

    One of President Trump's boldest, most ambitious proposals on the campaign trail was to build a wall along the Southern border and get Mexico to pay for it. Amid the tumult of Trump's first few months in office, the border wall hasn't gotten as much attention as some other things. But new legislation has been introduced in Congress to help fund it.

    It's called the Border Wall Funding Act of 2017, introduced on March 30 by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala...

    Well said and Totally.

    At this point, they don't care what Trump does.

    Has the Border Wall Funding Act passed? No.

    Has Mexico begun paying for the wall. No.

    More blowhard lies and unkept promises from the Liar-in-Chief.

    I would say with a 73% drop in immigration since the Trump election, great progress has been made. Stay at that pace and the wall needs to be one inch high. Remember our tax dollars went to support the illegals. Dry up the illegals, money in our pocket.

    Just by having Trump in the White House has resulted in a 70% decrease on illegal aliens crossing our southern border which means that Mexico is feeling it like the Montezuma's revenge in less remittance being sent to mexico.

    Which means hundreds of millions of dollars less going south but instead remaining in the American economy.

    Last year (2016) undocumented Democrats from Mexico a loan sent $26 BILLION DOLLARS in remittance back to Mexico.

    So the Border Wall Funding Act is one way of having undocumented Democrats paying for the wall.

    But as long as lefties are butt hurt because their skunk lost and continue being obstructionist and resorting to sedition, it's going to take time before the wall is built.

    Suggestion...eating bean burritos and red hot Chile peppers isn't the best therapy for losing in November, it's going to make your butt hurt even more.


    And if you really believed that Mexico was going to pay for the wall then I bet you also believed in the really big whopper of "Hope and change we all can believe in." :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    Theoretically the wall is possible despite the costs, logistics and red tape. However I feel that the ONLY way to make it happen is if literally billions of government funds are diverted from almost all government programs towards the building of the wall. Goodbye overseas military bases. The Military will have to stop fighting in Afghanistan or anywhere else and come home to guard the border. Yes, a very high wall with wiring on top, complimented with round the clock guards and guard towers, Some no man's land for a mine field and for good effort, how about crocodile infested moats and electric fences? Might as well go ALL the way with the project.

    No.

    There are already four states that tax electronic transfers of money going outside of America.

    And it's not discrimination because all remittances being electronically sent outside of the country by Al Qaeda supporters, business, aliens (legal & illegal) would be taxed.

    And any time green backs leave the country it takes money out of the American economy.

    Western Union and all banks already charge a fee to transfer money just not outside the country but also across state lines or even across the street.
