    There're enough SeaBee, Prime BEEF (Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force), and RED HORSE (Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineer) units to rotate through and do the job with Army Corps of Engineers oversight.

    I think Trump wants Congress to do it because it'll help then win the midterms. But Ryan's either not bright enough, or really doesn't want to win.

    Not only military funds, but we should also use our military engineers. Building this wall would be great training for Army Engineers, Marine Engineers, U.S. Navy Seabees and USAF Red Horse personnel. Go for it Mr. President, the United States Military's Commander - In - Chief.

    Or could care less. Why doesn’t trump and congress just change the immigration laws from mistomeaner to felony... in that way he would be in a better position to kill anyone that crosses the border that’s sneaking in. Why is that off the table?

    Is it off the table? You'll have to talk to your friends in congress on the other side (the rinos). Trump can't do that on his own, or he would.

    One solution would be to start voting for Trump-like congressmen. But I have a feeling you won't go for that.

    Why....seriously why not use the money to pay down the national debt? Electrical fences are very effective, Robots & Flying Androids would challange them more than building a big wall.... I mean, both the Chinese & the Romans....and the Soviets could advise ya how to build a freaking wall for heaven sakes. Personally, some threatning is the best deterrent & if you kill some of them your proving to the world your super serious.

    No you don’t.... you could close the borders immediately, first by changing the laws to felony then electrifying the borders with fences, and perhaps barbed wire, go ask the Nazis how to do that, they were experts. Drones could also patrol as well as border
    patrol. Now these people have to contend with the possibility of being killed for Elegal entry and what better deterrent is that?

    A wall can be defeated. Mexan drug cartels have already been proven to dig tunnels right. What’s going to be the deterrent then? As for me, I would parachute in... a lot of flat land out there.... do that in mass...an Dday invasion and so what it you get caught, they fingerprint you and send you back. Where is your deterrent?

    And when they arrive welcome them with food, clothing and shelter, put them on welfare, give them a drivers license, food stamps, a cellphone, etc, etc, etc...

    True we should help the needy but not at the expense of the citizens and families and protection of our nation.

    Rinos and democrats dominate congress. And you want to defer to them. Because you want open borders.
