They’re evidently used to closed door and back roomÂ* deals and can’t

discussion out in the open.


It was wonderful to watch Donald Bluster make a fool out of himself,
over and over. So, when is MEXICO going to pay for Trump's wall?


In the grander scheme of things Mexico is already beginning to absorb
at least some of the cost of a wall.Â* They are accepting more and more
illegals within their country who would otherwise be in the USA getting
financial aid and benefits at taxpayer's expense.Â* They are also
hardening their own borders to reduce the number of people traveling
across Mexico and sneaking into the USA.

It's important to remember that something like 65 percent (or more)
of these people don't qualify for asylum status but they must
be cared for, fed and housed while that determination process is made.

It's out of control and $5 billion is a very small price to pay
to reduce those who illegally enter and then turn themselves in
to be cared for only to be found to be not eligible for asylum status.
Forget what Pelosi, Schumer and other lefty politicians say and listen
to the border control agents who deal with this issue on a daily basis
and *all* agree that walls work.

By reducing that financial burden and on ICE operations, those who
enter legally at points of entry (which our laws require) are better
positioned to receive asylum status.
