Outlawing mail to Mexico!?

Why don't we add a tax on money sent out of the US. The Bill exists and would more than pay for the wall. A 2% tax on $69b would generate $1.4b a year. Why won't they pass that law? Lets poll it...

GOP lawmaker wants to tax money sent to Latin America

No need, Mexico is supposed to be paying for it.

There will be no wall.

There should be no wall.

Wanting a wall is a sign that you are a moron or someone who wants to take advantage of morons.

That is all.

Well that settles it.

That’s right. Moron.

Jeez...you keep talking about raising taxes.

Cutting spending is the way to lower the deficit/pay for Trump's wall.

Your party is supposed to be big on small government. Yet your party is sending the deficit through the roof and you cannot seem to grasp cutting spending as a way to pay for things you want.

You want the wall...than how about cutting your precious military budget that amount?

Providing for the common defense is in the Constitution and the Feds job, paying for the welfare of illegal aliens is not. Cut the spending in that area and the wall will pay for itself.

No more taxes! Why do yous people always want taxes increased?

 

[Moonglow]

Just get billionaires to chip in a billion each to pay for the wall. It's the rich which employs the illegals..

No cost is too great to fund conservatives’ fear, bigotry, and hate.

Meanwhile…

“House Republicans are struggling to come up with a strategy to fulfill President Trump’s demand that the lower chamber pass a funding bill that includes $5 billion for his promised border wall.

By Wednesday evening, GOP leaders still had not settled on what vehicle they would use to fund the wall or if they would even take a vote this week to do so. Lawmakers in the House have until Dec. 21 to avert a partial government shutdown and are only scheduled to work four of those days.”

A budget of over $4 trillion and a defense budget approaching $1 trillion (with all extras added) and the moronic Reps in the House/Senate cannot even find $5 billion for their precious wall?
What a bunch of completely, incompetent boobs (not that the Dems are that much better).

I would LOVE to see Trump's supporters reactions if he can't get his wall funding...this was a MAJOR platform he campaigned on.
They won't completely turn on him...but they won't be pleased.

Trump already broke his campaign promise, telling everyone Mexico was going to pay for the wall, not tax payers.
69% of Americans do not think the wall is important and not top priority There only 28% think the wall is a big deal. .
69% of Americans Don’t Think Trump's Border Wall Is a Priority, Poll Says
I don't think America is going to appreciate the wall being built and they are paying the bill. Only Little Trumpsters are sucking down Trump's BS.
Don't forget Repugs lost the midterms mainly because of their piss poor proposals for healthcare. Making tax payers paying for his wall, will add to the never-Trump/GOP crowd.'Here's another poll, Trump/GOP are losing the Independent vote. In the midterms the GOP lost the Independent vote by 18%.
Anyway, here another poll:
