The money saved will pay for the wall every year there after making it an excellent investment.

How many illegal immigrants would have to be prevented from entering with the wall for a positive ROI? Keeping in mind that the wall will not prevent anyone from applying for asylum and do nothing to alleviate any costs of those already in the country.

Therein lies the rub, no?

He also said “I never said the wall would be made of concrete.” He said it 4 days ago.

“An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media,” Trump said on Twitter, without mentioning his outgoing chief of staff, John Kelly.

Trump claims he has not 'abandoned' a concrete border wall | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump on Monday pushed back against claims that his administration has abandoned a concrete wall on the border, despite his own outgoing chief of staff’s statements that the idea was ruled out “early on in the administration.”

I think that the Democrats should call his bluff and tell him to do his “emergency measure” and stop the shutdown so people can get back to work and being paid for work.

So called conservatives are actually putting their trust in government to build a 2000 mile wall across the border?

The task alone is gargantuan

Listen to the advice of the border patrol and build the wall where ever they deem necessary.

Do we get to apply this rationale to the EPA and myriad other government agencies re: climate change? Should we do whatever they deem necessary? If not, why not?

CNBC – 4 Jan 19

Trump threatened to keep the government closed for 'months or even years' in...

Trump said he told Democrats that he would be open to keeping the government partially closed for years if necessary to get wall funding.

Who cares if that part of the government stays closed until we have a new President? The wall is that important.

Donald Trump is the best expert on this issue. Why should he listen to anyone else?

Just like with the drones, “Dear Leader” knows everything!!!

Exactly. It’s an adorable concept for a Trump supporter to espouse. Simply adorable.

Watching Donald’s supporters frantically hopping from one foot to the other in defense of this clown would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad.

You keep on saying this where sometimes it’s true there are some takers most immigrants have jobs and pump billions into the economy. Granted most dont pay taxes but they pay rent,buy cars,food and services.

Fascinating. Lol

I’m continually amazed how many folks here have such little understanding of illegal immigration and how a stupid wall will not stop illegal immigration. Hell, it doesn’t even address the primary reason for illegals being here.

Build a wall and all the money we save will pay for everything. Lol. Fascinating

Hey. It took them two years to come up with that spin!

Trump: We are going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it!

MAGA hats: Yay!

Trump: We are going to build a wall and Americans are going to pay for it.

MAGA hats: Yay!

Trump: We are going to pay for a wall and I am willing to shut down the American government for years in order to get it, regardless of the long term consequences to the economy and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands and workers.

MAGA hats: Yay!

Trump: We are going to build a wall and tens of thousands of American landowners are going to have their property stripped from them in order to get it!

MAGA hats: Yay!

Small government conservatives by the way.
