How will they separate LEGAL CITIZENS AND LEGAL GREEN CARD HOLDERS sending money to Mexico from ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS sending money to Mexico?

The anti-Mexican crowd doesn't care about that detail any more than they care about punishing innocent Muslims for the wrongs of the guilty.

There is another "enemy". Texas need more walls. But who will pay for it? Maybe God?

Enjoy paying ten bucks a gallon for gas when a storm wipes out all the refineries and supporting infrastructure.
And of course with Galveston being the largest port in America for foreign goods expect to pay a shit ton more for basic items when the port gets shut down.
