    "indirect"!! It's about as indirect as nonresistant. This is entirely warped Trump logic.

    Yes, border security is one of the few fundamental responsibilities of government.

    LOL! Yes, Mexico was "paying" anyway. That is why they eventually sent over two divisions of troops to the border.

    "MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican soldiers, armed police and migration officials blocked hundreds of migrants after they crossed the border from Guatemala in a caravan into southern Mexico on Wednesday, and detained dozens of them, a witness from a migrant aid group and an official said. ... That many sailors and military police, yes, it’s new,” Cruz said, by WhatsApp, from Metapa, in the southern border state of Chiapas, where the vast majority of migrants from Central America cross into Mexico." ...

    "The operation in Chiapas coincided with a meeting of Mexican and U.S. officials at the White House on Wednesday to thrash out a deal that would avoid blanket tariffs on Mexico threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump last week.

    Trump announced the tariffs in retaliation for what he called Mexico’s failure to stop Central American migrants from reaching the U.S. border."

    This post doesn't prove your point at all. Why would you think it did?

    Do you believe any unnamed source if it reinforces your confirmation bias?

    :roflol:

    A "lying left wing source"?

    Ok.:bored:

    Anyway, back on topic, at this point nothing that Trump does (has done, or will do) would surprise me.
    As far as Gaetz?

    If he can con his way into another term, good for him.

    Mexico totally fell in line from enforcing their border to vetting asylum seekers on Mexican soil.

    Trump had fixed the Illegal Immigration problem, and Biden screwed it all up as Leftists denied kids being raped, put in cages, and abused at record numbers.

    You understand that I understand the point you are trying to make but the fact remains that what you think is an example of Mexico "paying for the wall" is not at all what you have shown to happen. Your "proof" is absurd toward your point.

    Trump didn't fix a GD thing. Like everything else, all he did was smoke and mirrors.

    The numbers proved Trump 100% right... and you with your China Joe hero.... wrong... wrong... wrong.

    We now have more children being raped, murdered, and suffering than ever before thanks to Leftists.

    My point is that while Mexico paid to secure our border before Biden entered the WH, now US tax payers will pay for US troops at the border "next three to five years, possibly more".

    "Marines walk along the California-Mexico border at the Andrade Point of Entry in Winterhaven, California."

    "AUSTIN, Texas — The Department of Homeland Security wants troops to remain at the U.S.-Mexico border for at least the next three years, its officials told the Government Accountability Office during a review of the Pentagon's mission there.
    "DHS anticipates needing at least the current amount of [Defense Department] support for the next three to five years, possibly more," stated the 90-page report titled "Southwest Border Security: Actions Are Needed to Address the Cost and Readiness Implications of Continued DOD Support to U.S. Customs and Border Protection."
    MILITARY NEWS, Troops At US-Mexico Border Could Stay There for Three to Five Years, Report Says, Stars and Stripes, By Rose L. Thayer, 25 Feb 2021.
    https://www.military.com/daily-news...-stay-there-three-five-years-report-says.html

    So tell me, when will Biden and the DP tear down that awful wall? ;-)

    Do you just bend over and let these "fact" fly out or do you have anything to back up your false claims....other than Fox "News".

    You seriously are unaware that we have record children at the border right now?

    I'm aware of all the children. It's the "raped, murdered and suffering" that I have a problem with.

    You don't think these record number of children are suddenly not being raped, murdered, and abused.... because China Joe is not in the White House?

    Yeah... that only happened under Trump. Hey... are you in the market for a bridge? It goes to Venus during the Winter Solstice.

    You can SAY anything you want. Your problem is you can't back it up. Therefore, it meaningless.
