This is where the House losses really hurt I’m assuming? *sigh*
Thank you Paul Ryan and feckless GOP leadership.

Our Reps and Senators are too weak to do it. Too scared by vocal minorities. Not enough backbone in them to do the right thing.

Think of The Wall as a Tariff.

I’m so worried about this guy.
I think they haven’t made a direct move because too many of his followers own guns.

Trump is weak with this appeal. Press YOUR party to hand you $5 billion....NOW! If they don’t then threaten to put every opposing member on a lobbying blacklist — shut out from your administration for as long as you’re president.

Tell Trump it can be built with private donations and selling ad space on it. Then nobody in Congress can vote it down.

The wall is a tariff
Expanding that truism, it was announced today that $7 billion in tariffs have been collected
The collected tariffs can then be converted to the wall
The tariffs are free money to be spent on the wall

More likely they are too greedy for the lobby money to risk it.

Wish he’d said “pays for itself” from the first because it would, many times per year.

The GOP has two years until the next election to take the blame for the shutdown.

Why isn’t the entire illegal immigration system self supporting? Seize their assets and let them foot the bill.

(I don't know anything about Border Security, DHS, and the Caravan, because I am not at all intimately familiar with the border situation. But, to be sure: There are NO tunnels. There are NO drones, cannon, aircraft including chartered jumbos, etc. Bahamas, etc. were not and never were a part of the smuggling and illegal immigration system. A wall will solve everything, will be cheap and impenetrable - like a fixed fortress - a Maginot, if you will. BUILD THE WALL!)

What would you spend to save America? I would spend a Trillion. The combined cost of the parasites could cover it.

Close the border entirely and we put EVERYBODY to work in America.
Lock up all the ILLEGALS and send Mexico the bill.

Wrong, the House passed $5 billion for the wall.
The Senate has only passed $1.6 billion.

It’s the Bush League Republicans in the Senate that are the problem.
They’ll tell you they need 60 votes.

The price of a wall not the issue.
Dollars and cents accounting won’t sway congress.
The wall could cost $0.02 and congress wouldn’t fund it.
Congress WANTS the invasion. It’s as simple as that.
Trump is wasting his Twitter words.
