We are going to build a wall, and make the US pay for it

Here is what I don't get,why do rich white guys care about building a wall if they are going to have to pay for it? I mean they aren't taking their jobs, and we know the whole "criminal" thing really is a strawman argument. When they were trumpeting Mexico paying for it, at least getting something for free is always cool, but if their own taxes are going to build some failed infrastructure disastour it just doesn't really seem to make sense.
I still think the whole concept of a wall is funny. Drug smugglers already build tunnels from Mexico to the U.S., so it;'s only logical they will start smuggling people under the wall this way. If we make it tougher to get across the boarder the cost to cross will go up making it more lucrative to invest in the infrastructure to get people under it. As pot becomes less lucrative of a trade for the cartels, I think this wall could move their focus to smuggling people more.

It took 15 years to build the Freedom Tower. We are going to build a wall from San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico? When is that going to be completed? This isn't dividing Berlin. This is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard.

I think if anything, a wall represents misplaced anger of a struggling middle class.

"Dishonest media" is trying to lie. OBVIOUSLY Mexico will pay for it later.
God, these tweeting tantrums have just become embarrassing for our country.
