Trump Wants US Military to Pay for the Wall
So much for Mexico paying for the wall.
President Donald Trump, who repeatedly insisted during the 2016 campaign that Mexico would pay for a wall along the southern border, is privately pushing the U.S. military to fund construction of his signature project, reports The Washington Post.
Trump has told advisers that he was spurned in a large spending bill last week when lawmakers appropriated only $1.6 billion for the border wall. He has suggested to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and congressional leaders that the Pentagon could fund the sprawling project, citing a "national security" risk.
Understand the logic here.
The military paying for the wall means taxpayers pay for the wall.
So under Trump latest, taxpayers would pay for a wall to prevent the people who mow our lawns and clean our offices from entering the US.
What a clown.

Great - Robert Wetzel now supports unlimited illegal immigration across our southern border. He has been driven insane by his Trump Derangement Syndrome. Growing up in Ohio in the 1960's, all the early teenage boys earned their pocket money mowing lawns in spring and summer, raking leaves in autumn, and shoveling snow in winter. There was no obesity among teenagers. There were no illegal Latinos around -and somehow the neighborhood survived - and prospered.
ReplyDeleteHaha. So now not only did the Mexicans take er jebs, they made us obese as well!
DeleteThese people are a problem. I'm baffled how libertardians like you RW can show me how letting all this riff raff in with no checks makes for a libertarian society. You and others have yet to show me any of these people contribute anything to America. If we need labor that the lazy black population and others won't do, I guess we could do a Brasero type program.
ReplyDeleteSo tell me RW, why is it wrong to build a wall like other countries?
Your prerogative to end migration ends at your property lines. If I choose to employ those across an imaginary line, it's of no concern of yours. Why are Marxists, like Lab Manager, so insistent that they can interfere in the affairs of private economic actors?
DeleteTrump should bring our troops home and let them protect the border. Maybe if a few invaders were shot by snipers when they tried to cross the Rio Grande they rest of them would stay home.
ReplyDeleteDo you really hold the view that Army or Marine snipers are assassins?
DeleteMexico has a wall on it's southern border.
ReplyDeleteLiar.
