The wall, of course, is supposed to protect Americans from the cheap labor making its way illegally into the country. It might strike some as odd that, while investing in the wall, the administration has opted to disinvest in a variety of economic programs. The Economic Development Administration’s $221 million budget is wiped out in Trump’s plan. Ditto the $434 million dedicated annually to job training for older low-income people. And the $119 million aimed every year at 420 economically depressed counties in Appalachia.
But, hey. At least some of that will be offset when Mexico pays for the wall, right?

I'm about as much a wall proponent as I am an F-35 proponent, or LCS ship proponent. Which is to say, 'WTF ARE YOU SMOKING!?!?' (to those spending the money for these retarded programs).

Can we just send the bill to Trump voters? I'd rather pay for after school programs.

You bet, send the bill as Long as you and others like you are willing to except a refugee an illegal alien or the baby of an illegal alien and your home to support them mentally physically and financially feel free to post your home address and will get one or 2 Moving Your Way at the same time we send the bill for the wall to Trump supporters
you first, as I don't really believe most have the conviction of their words so I'd want to see action before implementation

SSG Jessica Bautista - Well so far you , by failing to state in the affirmative you have taken in and support financially mentally and physically a refugee, an illegal alien or the offspring with citizenship from an illegal alien.
feel free to correct that as appropriate.

I didn't realize a disclosure was required, but forgive me for declining to confirm. I'm sure you can understand.
