Trump wants $18 billion American, not Mexican, for the wall

First phase of Trump border wall gets $18 billion price tag, in new request to lawmakers

I think Trump may have lied to you people about who was going to pay for that white elephant on the border.

Who cares?
In the end more Americans will have jobs even though you may have to pay more to mow your lawn.

Okay, so you don't care what Trump does or says. I'll remind you of that in case you forget that in a future post.

$18 billion: the price of bigotry and unwarranted fear in America.

• Immigrant Arrests Are Up, but Deportation Is Down --> Is that what Trump was promising? The man was of a mind to deport 11M people, yet having arrested more immigrants, he's deporting fewer of them than past Administrations.
• Trump: "The border is down 78 percent. Under past administrations, the border didn’t go down -- it went up." (Presumably, the nearly illiterate Trump means "illegal southern border crossings," not the border itself, that is down.) --> Assuming Trump believes his own claim is accurate, he lacks the "business case" for Mexico or the U.S. spending $18B to build a goddamned wall on the southern border. Even Trumpkins should be able to suss out that much.
  • Number of 2016 U.S. immigration enforcement's Southern border arrests: 58,478
  • Number of 2016 Mexican immigration enforcement's Southern border interdictions of would-be illegal entrants to the U.S: 160,000.

Given the above, it seems notably more cost effective to direct resources to Mexico and let them stop the would-be illegal immigrants. And don't ya know, in 2015, both Republicans and Democrats figured out as much.

​

If you ask me, the only reason for building a southern border wall is because Trumpkins are too f*cking stupid to get high-skill jobs; however, insofar as we're sitting at structural unemployment levels, even that no longer is a good reason.

So you support flooding this country with low wage foriegn labor.

Trump loves foreign workers too. They must not be that bad.

Thanks for admitting that you love foreign workers. Why don't you move to Mexico so you can work alongside them?

Build the wall and the money not being siphoned off to Mexico will pay for it. There are many ways to skin a cat, and how unsurprising you don't know any of them.

Is that like the tax cuts will pay for themselves? More voodoo? lol

Of course I care about what he says.
And I'm sure every time you tell a family member or friend to fuck off and drop dead you never talk to them again.
Feeling stupid yet?

I really don't care who pays.

Just get the Wall built. .....

Typical Trumpette. Doesn't care how often Trump lies to them.

Since he lied all of his supporters should foot the bill for any wall to nowhere. A special dumbass tax on Republican'ts should be levied to pay for the gullibility.

You mean all the things you ever said in your life to others that you never fulfilled in totality makes you a "Trump"?
You see, all those other nations you want to send our tax dollars to probably used our taxes to build their walls.
Now we're going to use our taxes to build our wall.
But you can always move to Mexico if you like them so much.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The wall will pay itself back in a year, or at least in Trump's two term presidency.

The best investment US government has made.

Not only will the wall not pay for itself, it will cost an ever increasing amount more to upkeep as it ages. But you Trump zealots are too stupid to understand such a thing.

The wall will pay for itself easily.

Just the reduction in democrat vote pool is worth it easily. I for sure don't want any voters in who want to fuck white people (that is me). Having such nightmares is extremely costly.

Please, we do not need to hear about your sexual fantasies on this forum. keep those to yourself

Why TF does he want any U.S. taxpayer money to pay for a wall that he asserted Mexico would pay for?

• July 2017 -- Asked whether he still expects Mexico to pay for his signature campaign promise, Mr Trump responded, “Absolutely." ... Mr Trump, meanwhile, has started proposing alternative solutions, such constructing the wall with solar panels. "This way, Mexico will have to pay much less money."
• August 2017 -- Press Conference in Finland:
  Reporter: The southern border wall, is your plan still to have Mexico pay for the wall?
  TRUMP: Yes, it will.
• April 2016
  The key to the wall’s financing, Trump wrote in a two-page memo to the Washington Post, is threatening to halt money transfers from Mexican immigrants in the US to family back home. These remittances amount to nearly $25bn each year, roughly 2% of the Mexican gross domestic product, according to the World Bank. Cutting off these money transfers could doom the Mexican economy to recession and severely damage diplomatic relations.
  
  “It’s an easy decision for Mexico,” Trump wrote in the memo, written on campaign stationary emblazoned with his “Make America Great Again!” motto. “Make a one-time payment of $5-$10bn to ensure that $24bn continues to flow into their country year after year."
• April 2016
  Donald Trump would try to force Mexico to pay for a border wall by targeting billions of dollars in remittances sent by immigrants living in the U.S., according to a memo released by his campaign Tuesday.
  
  The memo outlines in new detail how Trump would try to compel Mexico to pay for the 1,000-mile wall he’s promised to build along the Southern border if he becomes president.
  
  In his proposal, Trump threatened to change a rule under the USA Patriot Act, an anti-terrorism law, to cut off a portion of the funds sent to Mexico through money transfers known as remittances. His plan would also bar non-Americans from wiring money outside of the U.S. unless they can provide documentation establishing their legal status in the country.
  
  Trump said he would withdraw the threat if Mexico makes a one-time payment to finance the wall.
  
  “It’s an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year,” the memo reads.
• Sept 2015 -- "We are going to build a wall. You’re going to pay for the wall,” the brash billionaire said he would tell the Mexican government. “The wall itself, we own.”

There should be an outright revolt if Congress appropriates one red cent for that damned wall!

Trump will be a hero if he gets funding for the wall, asshole.

So Mexico is not paying for it? SHUT UUUUUP....out beloved president said Mexico will pay for it.

Sounds reasonable. Start building. Mexico will reimburse us later.

Tax cuts paying for themselves is more logical than your health insurance premiums dropping $2,500 per family.

Or I could just work at Mar-a-lago with the other foreign workers.

We are, huh?

(Washington, D.C.) - Illegal immigration to the U.S. costs federal, state and local taxpayers a staggering net cost of $116 billion a year - an increase of some $16 billion compared to previous estimates - according to a new study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The study is the most comprehensive to date on the cost to federal, state and local taxpayers of the nation's 12.5 million illegal immigrants and their 4.2 million citizen children.

[Ray From Cleveland]

Not going to happen. Can't wait for the Democrats to gain power an amnesty in 20 million brand new Americans.

Just what we need, 20 million more people on welfare, getting food stamps, and living in Section 8 houses with free medical and dental.

All paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. .....

So racist. The immigrants work much harder than the losers that are sitting and crying about no coal jobs. And the Mexicans are not doing meth, heroine and any pill they can stuff in their mouths. Real America is getting soft, time for an infusion of good Hard working immigrants

Illegal immigrants responsible for almost three-fourths of federal drug possession sentences in 2014

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Why build a wall when roads go unrepaired?

Roads don't keep illegals out of the country, moron.

Lol, can't wait for that amnesty bill the Dem president will sign!!

Me either. That would guarantee us that we never see another Dim President in our lifetime.

 

[buckeye45_73]

I really don't care who pays.

Just get the Wall built. .....

The GOP is dying off. 1,000 old Republicans die each day in this country while Democrats are increasing at twice that pace

haha wtf is this, link please

 

[OKTexas]

We rank 49th in internet access..... our State would be better off using our federal tax moneys to build our own infra structure up here, and get fast broadband internet access in the State, our small businesses would grow tremendously and big businesses would come to the State!

you in the South should take care of the wall and the illegal Mexicans, and we in Maine, will take care of the Canadians!

Maine to halt funds for illegal immigrants’ aid
