Trump as usual will have to be the leader and take over the job of immigration reform.

And, as usual, some Federal judge in California or Hawaii will put a stop to it.

As I have said before he can and should take money from the defense budget to build it and have the military do the construction. My brother is in an engineering unit and they are very fast and efficient at building things. Especially under fire in Afghanistan.

And the government has raised nothing for the wall. Looks like private enterprise is more efficient.

It'll take forever to raise $5B.  More efficient to mass-protest in D.C. and get the cowards to capitulate.

The cowards are leaving for Christmas break in hours. Next year the President will have even less to work with Dems in the house. He should have taken the 20 billion Schumer offered earlier, some dealmaker.

[TBoneTX 42,988]

He'll find a way to get it done.

Why would anyone be opposed to this?  This is sorely needed.  Cost is cheap compared to what we loose and have to spend on Illegal aliens.  Think how much less crime and poverty we would have if had a wall.

 

Right now if you get deported for a crime or whatever, you can be back in Dallas area in less than two weeks, it's like a paid vacation if you get deported.

 

 

Environmental damage, won't stop illegals or drugs for that matter, and it will require taking over private land, without the consent of the owners.

Well it looks like Nancy Pelosi is right when she told Trump that his Republican House can't muster the votes to pay for it.

Say what?

Forgive me for touching on a topic in another thread, but I'd like to ask your opinion, good Sir...

 

Do most doctors get into practice to help others, or to make a good living?

Yes, I saw that but didn't reply because I've been so busy making A LOT of money...LOL

 

Honestly there should be a good balance of both.  Few people (if they knew what they were getting into) would go through medical or dental school if they did not think they would make a good living.  A lot of years and a lot of stress and a lot of money invested just to get the degree.  However, if you do all that and do not have the desire to actually help others you are going to be one of those doctors that has the horrible reputation.   

 

Then you end up having to find a wife from Russia....

Thank you for your analysis.  Respect to you for the time spent getting to where you could actually make a profit.  

Actually, I think it is (normal) human nature to help others.  The majority have that “gene” in us.  But some want to help people more, by making more money helping them, if that makes sense.

Update, a CR was passed 2 hours ago and sent to the Senate and it included 5 billion for "the wall"
