That’s mighty white of him. Jerk.

A black politician who is conservative should have run in Ryan’s primary and talked about the theft of jobs.

He would have had a better chance against this jerk.

8-14 billion?

They cost us over a 100 billion every year.

Pay for it while garnishing remittances, reducing foreign aid to Mexico (and why are we aiding a country flooding us with narcotics?) and dunning them every day in every way.

Deduct from foreign aid payments until the cost is recovered. How hard is that?

While we’re at it, add up the cost of educating undocumented children, uninsured medical treatment, etc. and add that to the cost of the wall in the case of Mexico.

Determine the national origin or citizenship of those receiving housing, education, medical, and welfare and deduct the amount from foreign aid payments to those nations. Seems simple enough to me.

Let’s see now. Put a Wall Tax on products of American factories located in Mexico and sold back to this country. Pretty soon the factory will shut down and Mexico will pay for the Wall in lost wages.

A fraction of the amount Obama sent to Iran, A fraction.

At a MINIMUM the names of people killed or hurt by illegal invaders need to be on that wall.

About twice what State “lost” under Hillary. Where’ the outcry over that?

Ryan said, “Well, first off, we’re going to pay for it, and front the money up, but I do think that there are various ways, of as you know — I know your follow-up question is, ‘Is Mexico going to pay for the wall?’ There’s a lot of different ways of getting Mexico to contribute to doing this, and there are different ways of defining how exactly they pay for it.

A great source of funding would be those funds withheld from so-called sanctuary cities; they want to kowtow to illegals, make ‘em pay for the wall. Too easy IMO.

Geez.....the few lefties on my FB page have been going nuts about “the wall”.....crying and hand wringing over how much it will cost.....saying we will have to pay for it....and this was BEFORE Nieto cancelled his visit here. By the time I get back over to FB, they will be totally unhinged. lol Their comments and posts were making me laugh....the wall wont help....who has a wall up where it has done any good......blah blah blah, add in the usual lefty commentary...and of course, they had to start in on the racist name calling of Trump voters among a million other whiny complaints...oh and hateful....Trump voters are hateful....smh....

$8-$14 billion? That’s only 3-5 years of not paying the UN!

Hahaha! I guess showing them the pic of obamas new place with a wall wouldn’t help? These people are mentally insane.

right, imagine if Trump was able to get a majority of the $150 BILLION that Iran received thanks to Obama, and used it to fund the wall with Mexico being charged for it on the back end? More winning!

Anyone notice how Trump still talks about building a wall, while today at the republican retreat Ryan is talking about a fence? I sense a disconnect here.

Oh, that is good news. I thought Trump was going to get resistance from Congress.

How much was TARP? 430 billion. Let’s say the government overspends and the wall is 20 billion. I thought our critics said it would be too expensive?

The photos I’ve seen show a wall of bars. Kinda fence-like.

I believe those photos are what are there now. In my mind, they aren’t a wall. I’m thinking Trump is planning a building a tall concrete wall, except in areas where it’s not needed. It will be interesting to see what is actually constructed. Trump doesn’t build chicken wire.
