It would be a lot cheaper than government contractors if we put the people crossing over to work building it.  Win/Win (just sayin')

What's working on a wall have to do with slavery?  You're not suggesting I implied making them work for free are you?

Maybe they mean indentured servitude. Work for freedom or LPR status. Guess it'll be like a labor camp thing.

If Mexico doesn't pay for it, I say we riot. Hold the man to his word if he's going to actually go through with it.

There is no question of "if" they pay... it is how will they pay. 

 

We could simply tax remittences or stop them until an agreement is forged.

 

All of these things that seemed so impossible for Trump to do a year ago will happen with out much effort.

 

As far as building the wall, piece of cake. Think about this, nearly all the material that was used in WW2 was designed built and delivered to war zone starting in 41, the war was wrapped up by 44.

Trump is a builder, a captain of industry ... tapping the help of like minded people as Roosevelt did.

 

Some areas are not his skillset...... negotiation and infrastructure  are. (at bargain prices)

Weird how Trump supporters think criticism of Trump is all about love for Hillary Clinton. Sorry but Donald Trump is good at sucking in his own right, no help needed.

You are aware people right now and for years have signed up to be in the US Military so they can get LPR or even citizenship.  They have never set foot inside the USA and they are recruited into the US Military.   You gonna call that a indentured servant/Labor camp.

 

My wife cousin from Palau joined the US army, he was doing basic training in North Carolina he had never set foot inside the USA before that.  Her uncle is retired US Navy and had never set foot inside USA before joining the Navy.

Are you willing to support massive increases in funding for immigration courts to process those crossing illegally, so that their punishment is construction of the wall? 

I would support it 100% and I think most Americans would also.   Everyone knows we have a problem with illegals in USA, to fix a problem you will have to spend money.

Now Trump is like Roosevelt? Hmmm perhaps more like, oh I don't know...
