    Nothing been built for border wall, so why should expect anything new will be built for a border wall no matter how much money is available.

    The wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for, you mean? A "wall" that won't even be built.. Nor should it be, because it wouldn't change anything and would be massive waste of taxpayer money.

    Mexico is paying for it.

    Less illegals means less U.S. tax dollars paying for their *** in our public schools, welfare, prisons, emergency rooms, etc.

    Try to keep up!

    Wow!

    You got it!

    Three years and we have enough there to terrify every terrorist out there! Another 12 years and we will have it half done!

    And of course, Trump is getting a 500 dollar payment from Mexico every month!

    Way to go, Donnie!

    Is name calling your go to way of debate when you have no substantive argument? You are presenting an ill formed opinion with no information to back it up. We are used to that from liberals.

    Then you are for enforced immigration laws. I don't know any conservatives that have a problem with enforced immigration laws.

    Seems like a lot of Trump supporters are anti-military. They are celebrating the fact that Trump is stealing money from projects aimed to help the military and their families.

    I didn’t think so many Trump supporters would come out so openly as hating the military.

    "Seems like a lot of Trump supporters are anti-military". ROFL. You're funny. Wrong, but funny.

    I remember when this initially happened, and all of the outrage from the left uncovered funding being taken from projects like a bowling alley. A bowling alley. Border security vs a bowling alley. Is there even any question which is more important??

    Day care for military families. That’s another thing Trump is stealing from the military.
    As I say, there are a lot of military-hating Trump supporters out there.

    Ill formed opinion? It's f&^cking obvious, isn't it? At least it would be to a conservative.

    I can keep going but bottom line is, you'd need to have your head up yer ass to not realize that there are positive aspects of illegals on the economy.

    I'm for changing the laws so they aren't idiotic. In the mean time I don't mind if someone is here "illegally" as long as they are working and not engaged in nefarious activity.

    Care to parse any of that information out and form an argument or is it your style to throw a mountain of garbage out and hope for the best?

    Increase military spending and then claim he is stealing it... Brilliant.

    LOL, I made the argument at least twice. I can't help you with your comprehension issues.

    I don't believe its been 3 years of building to get to that stage (nice website by the way) The only thing we've had 3 years of regarding the wall is 3 years of obstruction and lawsuits.

    Quite honestly if in 12 years its half done then it will be amazingly good considering how hard the other half is working to stop it.

    I didn't vote for trump (no fan of the standard NY azzhole routine) but I 100% see the need for the wall and support it 100%. Continued obstruction will be one of the reasons i'm likely to vote for the Vincent Gambini of politics in 2020 because I feel very strongly that its needed.

    So you are contradicting all of youjr previous posts?


    You state that you want them to pay taxes. One can't collect taxes if they don't know that they are in the country, where they are and where they are working. You also stated that they should be able to apply workers permits. That is also indirect conflict of what you are stating now. Make up your mind. Either you are for open borders or you want enforced regulation. It's dishonest to claim you want open borders and also claim that you will turn a blind eye to illegal immigration. Do you actually know WTF you are talking about or are you just piping whatever suits your immediate conversation to support a "orange man bad" agenda?

    Let me help you then. The answer is "no", you aren't capable or willing to parse out information to form a cohesive and understandable argument. I don't know which it is but I don't really care. Your argument is "here, have a bunch of links."

    I assume funding for that could be approved quickly and in bipartisan fashion by the end of the weekend. That is assuming that enough members of congress care about day care for military families.

    Wow.

    It depends why they're here. If they're here to work cheaply I'm all for it (as long as they aren't receiving tax payer funds).

    Illegal workers provide positive input to the economy.

    Illegal workers should not be eligible for welfare.

    This has been my position well before orange man stupid took office and it hasn't changed. I'm sorry if your attempt to paint me into some preconceived box failed, but stop with the bullshit. Unless you really are struggling to follow the simple logic. In that case, I'm sorry. Hopefully you are getting support from the state.

    Judge said Trump didn't steal it.

    BS. You are trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth and you know it. You keep deferring back to why they are here while the conversation is about what permission they have to be here. Either you want open borders or you don't. You are employing the same dishonest buffalo and BS tactic that the left usually takes. They deny wanting open borders while arguing why we should have open borders. Either we give them permission to come in or we don't. It's pretty simple in the real world.
