Trump voters are being called on to crowdfund border wall: ‘It could be a people’s wall’

I suggested this a long time ago. This Goodman guy is right though when expressing concern about getting our monies worth...not to mention, making sure the money actually funds the wall.
One responder also suggested we sell add space.

Would you donate to help fund the wall?

    I think, Trumps appointments to the environ[mental]ist bureaucracy took care of that...not many leftest judges left to replace now but the [marxist] unions is another story. Having the Military build the wall would negate that problem though...

    Solver,

    If it were funded by those who wish to by a private charity I would completely agree with you. So long as it is done by force through the government its the problem.

    It's not about Mexicans, it's about funding their financial short falls. In Connecticut that comes to 800.00 per year per tax payer.
    If they come legally, become American, speak English and were self sufficient there would be no problem.

    The idea is to fund the wall with those that "Wish" to and "Can" do so...instead of funding it by initiatory force.

    So, let's say it is. What solution do you see? We may disagree on the building of a Wall. Personally I think it is a sad solution, but what is the solution?

    WE could easily make that happen if we just cut off the aid we send their way and used that to pay for the wall.

    Um...I think the wall is ridiculous. It solves nothing. The real problem is the lure of free stuff. A wall does not solve any of the problems. Just my two cents.

    I personally don't care where the illegals come from. I just want them to pay the same taxes that I as a citizen have to pay. Illegals largely work in ways that are not taxed yet they receive the benefits those of us legals are paying for. I see it daily working in the school system. Illegal children sitting in my classroom seats taking resources paid for by you and me away from our children. I mention nothing about behavior or the extra resources required to deal with their different culture or language. We have to be prepared for that in case of Legal immigrants and I welcome those. I just don't like the freeloaders and I care nothing about where they came from or their skin color.

    I would happily send in my contribution. Not because I believe that it would solve anything but because I believe that good fences make good neighbors. It would act as a minor security measure.

    What we need to do that is FAR more important is to stop the flow of all the Governmental monies. Stop the redistribution of wealth from those that produce to those that do not. They see all those "free" (well free to the looters) benefits and they want to live a life of leisure at our (the producers) expense.

    I mentioned a similar plan a while back. The wall is built in sections and each section costs $X dollars. Much the same as hospital wings and rooms the donors get to dedicate their section with a plaque or their business name on it. Lets say a section costs $100K. There are plenty of wealthy individuals and businesses willing to donate this amount and it could be tax deductible. The dems are attempting to portray a wall as some negative concept of the USA. Not so in the opinion of many millions of Americans who voted for DJT. I personally would support a massive march on DC with one sole purpose and slogan, NO WALL-NO WORK! Like the protests abroad but the only damage being done would be complete and absolute gridlock in our nations capital until our elected representatives hear us loud and clear and get off their asses. It is very apparent they have no intention of finding solutions and much prefer having issues to run on. All they do is blow smoke up our collective asses and it is high time they have an enema.

    We should start a company called "Stop the Wall", leverage maximum media support, and use all profits for the wall.
    It is just about how Welfare work now.

    What is to keep the builders of the wall (read that as Union Contracts) and the usual keystone cop gang of politicians, environ”mentalists”, leftist judges, etc from sabotaging construction even if fully funded?

    Darth Schumer and Nutty Nancy would disagree.
    Fuel to boost their power needs more voters to swarm across the border.

    Nope not me. It is a waste of time and money. The wall will do nothing for those who already here. It will do nothing to stop the flow. Here is a funny story for those who advocate for a strict immigration policy. You don’t like Mexicans? Well, they don’t like you either. They would be happy to return to Mexico if they had the right to cross the border at will. It is because of their legal status that keeps them in the country... anyway those are my two cents.

    We already pay (at the gunpoints of the IRS) to get this done.
    Defund DC.
    That is the only possible solution.

    I say, the cost of these give a ways be deducted from their paychecks then maybe they'd see the light from the bottom of that rabbit hole.

    Read the other night that a significant part of the wall HAS been built; about 120miles worth...reality is in stark contrast to leftest claims that it hasn't.

    It’s not so much the giveaway programs as it is how all these giveaway programs are paid for. Let the people that want to give away all the free stuff away earn it with their own toil, then see how much they are willing to just give away.

    You certainly hit the nail on the head ;regarding the entitlements. The Governm3nt officials should be charged with embezzlement or fraud for giving entitlements to illegals period also for aiding and abetting criminals..
    The wall is also needed in my opinion. The trafficking of children and Drugs is a real issue.
    Trump pointed out that illegal crossings where the wall has been rebuilt declined 95% or more. I have a locks on my doors at home and I know that people could break a window to gain entry, but I still wouldn’t sleep well with out my wall (locks).

    Well my friend, just like there is no excuse for ignorance of the law, so too, is there no excuse for not knowing, not catching on, not stopping the socialist idiots from creating all these free giveaways.

    We should have revolted a long time ago...Now we live with that mistake.
