$18,000,000,000
You can spend a lot of money building a wall that (mostly) will not work. Some people will get some construction jobs for a year or two. It seems like a dumb investment to me. Where’s the ROI?
Also, where are the Democrats promoting other, better, investments that we could blow $18 billion on? Where is the shadow government, throwing a spotlight on this President’s shitty policies? We all know that he is a mentally impaired blithering idiot, but only reacting to the latest stupid twitter statement isn’t opposition. It is being played.
If that’s the price tag for true immigration reform, I say we grab it.
Just make sure that we’re getting actual, decent, and long lasting reform for all of that money.
On second thought… It appears that Trump is asking for FAR more than just the $18B…

…and that’s well beyond what the Dems can abide.
Too bad it wasn’t just money for the wall.
