Spatial Ed 162 #1 Posted January 3, 2017 So what's the over/under on Mexico paying for the wall? It was the cornerstone of the Trump campaign, surely he won't back down on it. Will we end up paying for The Wall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikewof 385 #2 Posted January 3, 2017 Nonsense. Mexico is going to pay for it, and it's going to be a beautiful wall, so pretty that when both sides see it, nobody will even see it as a wall, but rather a curious and calming magical freedom wall deposited by a race of super-intelligent benevolent beings. Mr. Trump promised. And then when our economy collapses from this nonsense, we'll need something to keep us from escaping to Mexico.

Barron (barf of an egotistical name) to NOT live where the first fucking lady is supposed to live. Why the hell does the taxpayer foot the bill for a son who's not even handicapped or autistic or anything that his parents have been honest about? Is he autistic, I don't think so... they're simply fleecing us and they will get away with it.

Lease out sections of the wall like toll roads. 99 year leases with turnstiles and tolls. Luggage is extra. The boarder patrol union can be gutted at the same time, since there will be much less demand for their expensive patrols. We can pay for the whole project in 12 years by my math, even if we maintain midnight immigration at its current low levels. If we increase illegal boarder crossings by 600,000 per year (Bush II levels) it can be paid for in 8 years. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/20/number-of-illegals-levels-off-fewer-crossing-mexic/ I've determined the 'Coyote' are mostly foreign, Those jobs can be done more efficiently by Corporations leasing rights to sections of the wall.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later! 6:19 AM - 6 Jan 2017 9,517 Retweets 28,586 likes Under Trump's current plan for building a border wall, Congress will use existing legislation authorizing border fences to appropriate funds for additional building along the border, according to the Associated Press. Congress would not pass a new bill authorizing a wall. Trump surrogate Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) also told CNN Friday morning that Trump will negotiate reimbursement with Mexico. "When you understand that Mexico's economy is dependent upon US consumers, Donald Trump has all the cards he needs to play," Collins said. "On the trade negotiation side, I don't think it's that difficult for Donald Trump to convince Mexico that it's in their best interest to reimburse us for building the wall." http://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_148371722481912&key=b716156ab5ecd7182fdbf9e72d749dcb&libId=ixlyvdmo0100deno000DA9sepbn3x&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.democraticunderground.com%2F10141657422&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Ftalkingpointsmemo.com%2Flivewire%2Ftrump-mexico-reimburse-border-wall&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.democraticunderground.com%2F&title=Trump%20Swears%20He%20Will%20Still%20Make%20Mexico%20Pay%20For%20The%20Border%20Wall!%20-%20Democratic%20Underground&txt=http%3A%2F%2Ftalkingpointsmemo.com%2Flivewire%2Ftrump-mexico-reimburse-border-wall Just wait until Mexico seizes General Motors, Walmart, and JP Morgan Chase.

Raz'r 979 #73 Posted January 6, 2017 One thing is for sure in all this. The Border Patrol will no longer have to show up for work with their hands duck taped behind their back blindfolded with no gun or handcuffs like they have been for the last 8 years Then, how do you explain that Obama deported more illegals than any other president before him? Fake news fuck off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it appears in print enough times, it magically become a fact. I'm not sure that's ever been in print. I think he just makes all this up, or he really is delusional and the voices in his head tell him. Its like Regatta Dog without the gin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fake news fuck off Google it they use different metrics. You know like the ones they turn around at the boarder and dont let in crap like that Nope - same metrics used to track deportations over time. Not changed for one prez vs. the next. Hell - all indicators are that net migration is outward bound. this wall will just keep people in. maybe that's the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spatial Ed 162 #77 Posted January 6, 2017 Sometime you have to embellish things for humor and to get a point across. Get over yourselves Obama was never the great deporter not even close Was it an embellishment to state Obama took away the guns and handcuffs from the border patrol?

Dog 46 #78 Posted January 6, 2017 So Dog, is it good or bad that Trump is breaking his promises so early? That's a report in Politico, I'll wait to see what actually transpires before passing judgment on whether he broke his promise.My expectation is that he will push for taxing remittances to Mexico or some other method to muddy the waters and give himself political cover . So, you're hoping for trade restrictions. How very RINO of you. How did you deduce what I'm hoping for or did you imagine it? Your quote above. I know you like to walk back from positions - but this is faster than usual, even for you. You really are a moron. Expectations and hopes are different.

Dog 46 #83 Posted January 6, 2017 Exactly, Obama counts rejections at the border as deportations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spatial Ed 162 #84 Posted January 6, 2017 Exactly, Obama counts rejections at the border as deportations. Are they rejecting them with their hands duct taped and blindfolded? I guess the lack of guns and handcuffs didn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spatial Ed 162 #85 Posted January 6, 2017 Whats the overall sale of duct tape vs border patrol actions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raz'r 979 #86 Posted January 6, 2017 So both his Removals are higher than previous administrations. Thanks for making my point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raz'r 979 #87 Posted January 6, 2017 So both his Removals are higher than previous administrations. Thanks for making my point. He was strong early but once you take out the ones turned away at the border not so much Then numbers have tailed off the last 3 years. Still higher than previous administrations. Maybe the easy ones are gone - and since net migration is negative, there are fewer new ones coming in? Good performance no matter how you slice it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spatial Ed 162 #88 Posted January 6, 2017 Whats the overall sale of duct tape vs border patrol actions? Whats the coloration of Obama cum guzzlers to Hillary voters?

Spatial Ed 162 #89 Posted January 6, 2017 Meth? How are they seizing so much blindfolded and with their hands duct taped? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spatial Ed 162 #90 Posted January 6, 2017 Meth? How are they seizing so much blindfolded and with their hands duct taped? Most of the seizures are what they find hidden in cars using dogs an such in the line coming across. They barely dent it and the total is indicative of how much is actually getting through Are the dogs blindfolded too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lark 495 #91 Posted January 6, 2017 In all fairness, Obama has come down against border patrol agents shooting unarmed Mexicans in Mexico. That had a lot to do with their feeling unloved and supporting Trump, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really then explain all of the monumental amounts of illegal drugs making it to every damn city in the US The cartels run the border and the amounts of drugs are through the roof Kids?

Yeah all the dogs that can see are being retrained as service dogs for Democrats to help them get through life on other peoples money You ever seen a dog with duct tape on its feet? Funny, at first.....
