Kelly: We won’t build all of Trump’s wall, and Mexico won’t pay for it
NY Post ^ | January 17, 2018 | Bob Fredericks

Posted on 01/17/2018 7:48:14 PM PST by EinNYC

White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly told Democratic lawmakers Wednesday that the US will never build a wall along the entire southern border and that Mexico won’t pay for what we do erect — refuting one of President Trump’s top campaign promises.

Did any of you actually watch, listen to the interview on the 6 o clock news, in its entirety????

I didn’t think so.

New York Post is misrepresenting.

Kelly first hand, without the media spin.

Sounds like Kelly said 800 miles of wall added to 600 miles of existing fencing.

Lets crowd fund the wall. There are at least 50 million people who want it built. We all donate $50 and that is $2.5 Billion. It would be even better if 100 million people donated, it would scare the heck out of the Dimrats.

“Trump has NEVER proposed a wall on the entire border.”

Bingo.

The democrats will cave and are trying to save face.

Tax remittances TO Mexico and you could pay for it in a minute! $2.5 billion in remittances to Mexico IN ONE MONTH last year! Tax that AMERICAN MONEY at a 10% rate and your wall, border security and even some military spending is paid for right there. http://thehill.com/latino/331579-remittances-to-mexico-at-near-record-levels

3% “fee” on remittances to Mexico for 5 years ought to do it.

Still sounds like Trump is weaseling out on campaign promises that were the reason many of us voted for him. If DACA stays and there is no border wall paid and under construction soon Trump will be a one term president.

Does General Kelly know he said this?

Fake News. Completely twisted what Kelly said. Kelly said Trump now understands it isn’t possible to build a wall from San Diego to Brownsville due to terrain and that he doesn’t expect the Mexican government to pay for it but rather other revenue streams from Mexico could.

He didn’t say it but taxing money going to Mexico through money transfers and other taxes paid by Mexican citizens could pay for the wall long term.

Plus the renegotiation of NAFTA which is going on now can pay us back for the wall every year.

We’ve always known that there would be no barrier along every inch of the border. And one way or another, Mexico will pay for it. But for the present, we will pick up the tab.

Bob Fredericks of the New York post is a racist liberal. His articles are fake news.

Kelly is scum and always has been, but 700 miles of new physical something or other is more than double what the House bill approved by Trump had.

The big issue is his success and bragging about convincing Trump to amnesty more and more illegals—starting with DACA.

And what a jerk bragging about taking Trump down the uniparty sellout path.

That is a poor assumption given tne uniparty with the congressional purse strings and that Trump will not always be president.

The size and extent of the wall does indeed matter.

Didn’t Trump recently say he’ll make Mexico pay when he renegotiates NAFTA?

“... what are all those engineering schools we have across the country for?”

According to one freeper that is an engineer, the answer is: not much.
