    I'll ask again. . .along the Texas-Mexico border, a place known as the Rio Grande River, where exactly do you place your wall? Do you build it on the U.S. side of the river and give the whole river to Mexico? Or, do you build it on the Mexican side of the river on land not belonging to the U.S.? Or, do you build it in the middle of the river, along the actual border, and deal with all the challenges severe weather would present over the coming years? Just curious.

    You can put your curiosity to rest now. The answer is to bribe Mexican officials and built the wall on their turf.

    You won't get argument from the left on that. We've been trying to shove those two to the side for a while.

    So I see the people that voted for Trump is unwilling to pay for the wall. What a bunch of hypocrites they are. Or perhaps they really thought Mexico is going to pay for this wall??

    Are you counting the Great Wall of China? I don't see how you get to 2/3 of the world population.

    Trump promised Mexico will pay for it. Let the great negotiator go and collect the money. Trump is worth billions, how much will he contribute to this fund??

    And you would be tried for murder. Be careful what you say here or people will report you to the appropriate authorities.

    How did the right wing start a war? I'm looking at the Congressional votes as we speak and it look like Congress elected to go to war.

    In case you forgot, Congress held two votes. One for Afghanistan, and one for Iraq. Happy to cite you how the Democrats and Republicans voted to send soldiers to die.

    A question for Trump and wall supporters...

    If a Dem presidential nominee guaranteed that their tax dollars would not be used in the construction of the wall - then went on to win - and then tried to use taxpayer dollars to build it, how would you react? Imagine it was Obama, assuring us that Mexico would pay for the wall, and then in failing to secure the funding, was threatening to shut down the government if he didn't get his way.

    I don’t think most thought Mexico was going to write us a check nor did we believe that is what Trump meant. As far as tax dollars, that it how it should be funded and American citizens should support it.

    I disagree. I say spend the necessary money & upgrade the border with advanced electronic surveillance equipment coupled to computers & backed up by border guards, to deal with illegals. I also say ship them back across the border as soon as caught to avoid spending money on incarcerations.

    The Bureau of the Fiscal Service may accept gifts donated to the United States Government to reduce debt held by the public. Acting for the Secretary of the Treasury, Fiscal Service may accept a gift of:

    • Money, only on the condition that it be used to reduce debt held by the public.
    • An outstanding government obligation, only on the condition that the obligation be cashed and the proceeds used to reduce debt held by the public.
    • Other intangible personal property only on the condition that the property is sold and the proceeds used to reduce the public debt.
    https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/gift/gift.htm

    The wall isn't going to be built using this money.
