House GOP allocates $1.6 billion for Trump border wall in 2018

Ten percent of the taxes on the new oil, coal and gas we'll export in one year will easily pay for the wall. There are at least a dozen viable ways for President Trump to get Mexico to pay the reimbursement costs.

This is great news!

[JBW1949]

Agree.....

[Joe Boucher]

OH NO,
Those nasty dems threaten to shut the bloated, mostly worthless frderal gub mint down!
Shut it. Who would give a damn.

And he has his boyfriend Linda to join him.

I think you mean "girlfriend"

[DoughtyOne]

No, I live in the midst of about seven million illegals.

I want the wall very much.

Trump is about the only guy that wants the wall, in our government.

I think he’s doing his best to get it going. If he hasn’t made big headway by year one, I’ll be miffed about it.

I don’t think he’s trying to get away with not following through.

[factoryrat]

Every little bit helps.

Who GAF what the RINO’s, social democrats, or the CofC globalists want.

President Trump is in full-blown MAGA mode!

The mandate for a mexican border wall has been there since jorge arbusto was el presidente.

President Trump is acting on this mandate. The money is there. Put it to good use. Build the wall. Send a message to mexico: mess with the US, and you WILL get smacked down.

We owe mexico NOTHING. Mexico needs to address their own problems before criticizing their neighbors, let alone dumping their problems on them.

[tumblindice]

I live close to the border: the Canadian border.
But still we’re teeming with Mexicans.

Screw your negative waves. Build it and they won’t come.

[jazusamo]

Amen to that, well said!

President Trump is trying to undo many years of screwups by politicians on both sides of the isle.

He’s making progress though many seem to want it yesterday.

[Jim Robinson]

Bump!

[Windflier]

both sides of the isle.

[morphing libertarian]

Mexico

[jazusamo]

Bump ;-)

[zerosix]

Yeah, well all rats are RATS in the end!

Ten percent of the taxes on the new oil, coal and gas we'll export in one year will easily pay for the wall.

Illegal. Article I, Section 9: "No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state."

[DoodleDawg]

Trump’s been President for 6 months... we’ll get the money from Mexico.

No we won't. But what difference does it make so long as the wall is built?

[KC_Lion]

Perfectly Said Zerosix!

They are the Uniparty.

[lizma2]

“Gang to watch is the GOP Senate!”

ANY FREEPERS IN A STATE WITH A GOP SENATOR, START CALLING NOW! ANYONE INVOLVED IN A LOCAL GOP CLUB, GET THEM TO CALL.

We gotta start fighting.

P.s. As far as the Catholic Church, a lot of Hispanics are Catholic. As a Catholic myself it pains me to say follow the money.

[Red Steel]

1.6$ bil. for FY2018 is a good start which starts in 3 months.

There’s still Trump budgets from FY2019 through FY2025 that will fill in the rest of the wall and security along with much more. :)

[zerosix]

Sec. Ryan Zeinke said it perfectly, "When you begin to drain the swamp, the serpents appear!"

We are seeing then pop up aren't we?

[huckfillary]

Personally, I have never liked the wall idea. Landmines are so much cheaper and much more effective.
