I quoted your article.

No, I'm making fun of people who believe A) He's building a wall and B) Mexico is going to pay for it.

Not to mention, as I said, aren't Americans supplying the labor and the physical parts of the wall?  Keeping everything in the country seems like a good thing

Crossings are down, as has been the trend.  And this source says illegal immigrants pour millions into the economy through taxes and purchases without ever being eligible for things like welfare or assistance.

Except for the tunnels and planes and boats...yeah.

Nope.  Still paid by you and me.  (assuming you pay taxes).

Again, nope.  I'm laughing at the idea that replacing and repairing parts of existing structures is seen as building a wall to protect our country AND that the proposals to actually build segments of a an actual wall is a huge waste of money on something that will not protect our country.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised about how people can't see things too....
