How will you feel when you find you you are paying for "the wall?"

Border Patrol: Incomplete tunnel found in Nogales, Arizona


"Authorities say that of the 115 tunnels investigated, 110 were in the Nogales area."

How might Trump pay for his wall? He's suggested a tax on goods imported from Mexico. Great, right? Well, just who buys goods imported into the U.S. from Mexico? It's not Mexicans or Canadians.

When it comes to illegals, Americans are paying for FAR more than any wall ever could cost.

What do we get from Mexico? Will the price of Corona beer go up or tequila? We don't even know if they fertilize veggies with human shit before we import them or use recycled pesticides made from Agent Orange. What else do they send us besides drugs and murderers? When are whiny timid lefties going to get some freaking balls and realize that the U.S. is calling the shots?

I was amazed to see the amount of fruit & veggies that come from Mexico, some reports say 60 % that's scary.

That sounds like bullshit. And even if it is not.

We are the largest agricultural producer in the world. If Mexican fruit and veggies get expensive, we can make it up here.

Or buy from some other nation that are not being dicks.

Yes I thought California was the leader in veggies, but then I started thinking about the stores I shop in that label there stuff, think it is true or close. & if we buy from country's farther away wont transport kick up the cost?

My understanding is that container shipping is very, very cheap.


If Mexico wants to be dicks, and apparently they do, we can ship in veggies from freaking Argentina if we want to.

We would probably have to, since Columbia and Chile have already said that they will stand with Mexico in any trade war. Not sure why the Mexicans would be "dicks", if the respond to our tariffs with their own.

How unfortunate for us that they will simply get a visa, walk through the gate, and not go home. it is down right disrespectful of the to do that after we spent $15 billion dollars to keep them out.

Americans are used to taxpayer-funding of anti-Christian and leftwing talk radio at NPR. Why would a step towards border security bother US?

The RW has been using NPR as a whipping boy for over 20 years. It is primarily self-funded with only about 16% coming from Federal, State and local government sources.

Don't Forget the Facts About NPR Funding

If it is self funded, why does it need Any direct funding from the taxpayers? Why not self fund as a non profit or God forbid, compete as a stand alone media outlet? If it must receive taxpayer funds at any level, then it needs to be regulated or monitored for content from a fair and balance perspective. Get Lefties and true Right Wingers in there delivering content and agendas so that all of the taxpayers are represented. Otherwise, stop taking tax dollars at any level.

• Because it's primarily, not entirely, self funding.
• NPR is a non-profit.

You really don't know what NPR is, do you. It is the United States' radio network. That's why it gets public funding. That's why it can cover the kinds of stories and in the depth it does; it doesn't have to be sensational enough to attract advertising revenue in order to sustain itself. It's really a shame that you don't listen to NPR.

It's one of the few places that one can actually get stories and talk that comes at issues from both sides. I know you only hear about it when it doesn't favor what you happen to want to believe, but if you listened to it more often you might actually learn something, not only about the liberal POV but also about the conservative one. You might actually elevate yourself into the ranks of conservative intellectuals, which is something of which USMB, and the U.S. in general, there is great paucity.

You have to be open minded NPR will put out info that will amaze you, anger you, make you cheer, they even have some that will bore you to death with its detailed 2 sides to an issue. not for the weak minded.

Why should taxpayers have to pay any iota for it? You just made an incredible free market pitch for it. Clearly they can surive in the Free Market without direct Taxpayer funding.
