$1M will cover a fraction of a percent of the yearly maintenace cost if you are lucky.

You're dismissing the fact that at $1mil a day from the mouth breathers, it will only take 13 years to have enough $$ to build the wall...at current prices that is.

Even less if they get undocumented workers to built it at starvation wages.

So you all are really just not caring that Donald Trump couldn't keep his largest campaign goal of making Mexico pay for it huh. How about take these five billion dollars that he's wasting on this to improve public education or improve healthcare? Guess that's less of a concern.

Correct. We don't care how the wall gets paid for, the important thing is that it happens.

What's funny is even if we pay for it 100% the Democrats will still try to stop it from being built.

Wait, it's funny that Democrats would not be so much more gung-ho on the wall if our own tax dollars are used? Not sure I understand what you are saying.

Sitting there whining doesn’t get you what you want.

Answer the question.....did Trump voters actually believe him when he said Mexico as going to pay for it? Now us TAXPAYERS are getting stuck with the bill - who would've thought!?!?

Maybe they didn’t. In California our taxes pay for MediCal for illegal immigrants. I’d rather buy a wall.

The major problem in your post though, and I am sure you never attended a university due to your inability to differentiate between the two words I am about to reference, is you do not know how to use the words effect and affect properly.

Effect is a noun. Affect is a verb. One can not be "effected" by something. One can be affected by something though.

Please keep your rants to letsrun, because you are most likely outclassed in education by many people in your surrounding population.

Sorry, but it is not as simple as that. Effect can also be used as a verb. Affect can also be used as a noun.

No, it's funny that even if our GoFundMe were able to pay for 100% of the wall and didn't cost the government a dime the Democrats would STILL go out of their way to stop it. That's how much they hate it. It has nothing to do with its relatively low cost.

"Gun control won't stop bad people from getting guns" but also "building a wall will stop bad people from coming into the US."

Why do democrats not want border security?

Because they are the real racists. Republicans are realists, there's a big difference. Look at Flagpole, he lives in Ohio so he doesn't care as he's got little chance of illegals robbing or hurting him. He's safe, so he votes liberal. Yes, it's that easy.

I think you're being a bit unfair. Can't we look past this one failure? He did achieve health care for all as he promised.

We're not talking about what he has achieved, we're talking about the fact that he kept spewing "Mexico will pay for it!" all through the campaign.......and his uneducated voters actually believed him. And now they don't seem to care that it was all a lie.

He hasn't achieved health care for all! That was supposed to be humorous.

Work Border Patrol for 23 years, then come talk to me. The WALL would make a HUGE difference versus walking across.

Obama didn't achieve it either. Health Care for all? No, he made it so the average middle class had their deductibles go thru the roof to pay for it. That's Health Care for all? He lied like no tomorrow, but his race gave him a free pass.

So when the wall inevitably goes past budget, who pays for it?

Who will pay for the staff that have to monitor the wall after it's built?

Who pays for upkeep/maintenance after it's built?

Mexico, Mexico and Mexico! Believe me, believe me.

Gotta love when someone used the word BREAKING in all caps. Screams troll.

Does the GoFundMe accept only pesos, or did this thinly veiled racist campaign promise get to be buried in the annals of history along with defeating ISIS in his first 30 days, releasing his tax returns, signing a bunch of blank sheets of paper at a press conference about putting his assets in a blind trust, not having paid off porn stars, etc. That whole truth thing gets in the way of your reality, so I'll stop invading your safe space where you need a pointless wall that wouldn't even do crap if it were erected.

I'm pretty sure if Trump had "promised to build a wall" or said that "Mexico would pay for it" the electorate would have held to account at the mid-terms. So I can only conclude that he didn't make any promises about walls. I keep hearing how Democrats are the real racists, so maybe they are the ones who want to build the wall. I guess you won't hear that on the Communist News Network.

I don't understand, Trump claims to be so rich and good at business, why doesn't he just pay for the wall? Or at least put up half?

If the wall is such a great idea and will save the US X amount of dollars, why isn't he at least putting together a business case for Congress to consider or just doing it himself?

Did you read the first part of the sentence? Of course if a wall were built some people would still enter the country illegally and millions of illegal immigrants would remain, but it would be harder, so it would reduce the number of illegal immigrants. Similarly if gun control measures were enacted, the main impact would be to make it harder to obtain new guns, but so many already exist that there would still be lots of guns. So a lot of bad people would get guns, but not so many as have guns now. Neither measure will solve all problems.

But the point of putting the two claims side by side was to draw attention to people who think the wall will solve most problems whilst gun control won't.

Do you believe that GUN CONTROL would make a HUGE difference in crime?

A wall may slow down immigrants who enter by foot but the fact remains that a majority of the illegals that live in the US are here because they overstay their visas...creating a wall does nothing to prevent that.

If you've worked border patrol for the last 23 years than surely you know that the BC has seen an increase in staff by more that 50% since 2000 and during that same time period, border apprehension has decreased by 80%.

If you done, do you get your name inscribed on one of the scraps of metal put into the wall? If so, that would be so cool!

But seriously, this is pretty damn funny.

Super-rich billionaire fails to complete campaign promise to build wall and get mexico to pay for it, so........his poor, dumba$$ followers are going to fund it for him. Ya know, so they can trigger the liberal snowflakes. Money well spent! USA USA USA!

Why doesn't Trump just pay for it himself?

He's too busy repealing and replacing. Also, he's a little tired from all the winning.
