Seeing a lot of name calling and wishful thinking, but I haven't seen a whole lot of arguments. What's up with Mexico's wall with Guatemala? Is that one racist? Shame on Mexico, I bet it doesn't even work lol.
Life with a 5 second memory retention is peaceful, I guess.

You were owned. Now go make everybody a sammich, like a good little bitch.

LOL, even the hard right mouth of Wall Street conservatives, the Wall Street Journal, is articulating why the monied elite are popping their lids off over Trump's nascent trade war with Mexico. Losing business support will badly undermine the orange one's ability to lead.

With a population of 128 million, Mexico is America’s second-largest export market for goods. Some six million U.S. jobs depend on trade with Mexico. But the much larger risk is that Mexicans will sour on progress toward joining their North American neighbors as prosperous free-market democracies. This is the moment that Mexico’s left—dormant but not dead—has been waiting for as anti-American Andrés Manuel López Obrador prepares to run for President again in 2018.

@NLXSK1 why do we need that wall? What cost-benefit trade-off makes it worthwhile?
I havent been here for 5 days yet you guys cant stop talking about me....

Executive Summary
This report estimates the annual costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local level to be about $113 billion; nearly $29 billion at the federal level and $84 billion at the state and local level. The study also estimates tax collections from illegal alien workers, both those in the above-ground economy and those in the underground economy. Those receipts do not come close to the level of expenditures and, in any case, are misleading as an offset because over time unemployed and underemployed U.S. workers would replace illegal alien workers.

Well, saving hundreds of billions of dollars might make a 10 billion dollar wall worthwhile.... Doncha think??
