$20 billion is sorely needed to keep drugs, criminals and parasites out of the U.S.A with a Huge Wall.
$24.3 billion was spent on the 'Big Dig' - a 30 year Boston highway project.
Congress: "Why was Boston's traffic problem more important than our national sovereignty and safety?"
Send them home.
We’re not paying for them.
Where’s the BooHoo girl?
We didn’t let them march (and get driven) unimpeded across 2500 miles of Mexico to get deposited in Tijuana. It’s not our problem. They need to take this up with their own government.
Central American receives almost $20 billion a year in remittances from the US. The GDP of these countries have been boosted by almost 20%. Yet these countries if anything have become worse.
Why is anyone paying anything for them?
Shut off the food and supplies. They will go away.
We ought to be willing to pay for one thing: shipping that humanoid plague back where it came from, nits and all. BTW, a nit is a louse egg, just like the two little ones in the recent propaganda pic.
WTH
Satire?
Sure thing, Mayor, as soon as you send us $100 billion for the wall. Putz.
Ask Soros, asshole.
Yes, Freebie Store is closed. Go home. Beg and hitchhike, I don’t care. Just don’t sneak in here.
Dump goods at the border....american made and grown goods....
NO.
I propose we allocate the 20 billion For the wall
The desert can hold the desiccated bodies of a trillion migrants free of charge.
Really? We don’t want them here for LOTS of different reasons, money being one. Why on earth would we pay Mexico to keep them?? Throwing money at Mexico has never worked ever, so why start now? Mexico had its chance to stop them on THEIR southern border and did not. This is not our problem. This is nothing but playing chicken with the Trump administration and me thinks they are losing! Lololo
Plus, temporary funding solves nothing pertaining to the “poor little migrants”. Suck it up, meheco. You chose poorly
How about ten A-10’s and five Spookies with pilots, crews, and two full ammo loads for each for twelve hours and you supply subsequent refuels?
$30K per day is a lot of rice and beans...
If you are going to go, you might as well go large.
In all honesty, he has been doing a pretty good job if he has been feeding this crowd for the last week or so on $30K.
“Prepare ourselves to assume that a good part of them are going to be in this area of Mexico for the coming months,” said the incoming foreign relations secretary, Marcelo Ebrard.
He vowed the government will “have to support local authorities,” according to the Associated Press.
“That is not a bilateral negotiation. That is something we have to do,” Ebrard said.
He also asked the Trump administration Tuesday to chip in at least $20 billion on development projects to help create jobs in Central America. Many of the migrants say they fled their home countries to escape threats of violence from gangs and to find work.
