What they have offered should be totally taken off the table. Why should this country spend 5 billion on a wall that is the ultimate of stupid. From a criminal president and his followers to protect us from the poor endangered family trying to feed and house their family . Hell I want to be protected from this cruel ugly regime . I'll take all of them as neighbors other then one of these haters. I will give money for ladders, if insanity gets its way.
No money for the wall.

One way or another, President Trump will be rewarding his supporters with billions of dollars' worth of border wall construction.

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) sponsored a bill in March that would slap a 2 percent tax on all money transfers from the United States to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.
If Rogers expanded the idea to include all transfers to countries outside of the United States, it would generate $2.76 billion, based on the 2016 remittance totals.
"Over 10 years, there it is," Chmielenski said. "There's your wall."

Taxpayers Are Subsidizing Mar-a-Lago's New Year's Eve Party Despite Trump's Shutdown
Taxpayers Are Subsidizing Mar-a-Lago’s New Year’s Eve Party Despite Trump’s Shutdown
The president doesn’t seem to care about the 800,000 workers who won’t be receiving paychecks during the government shutdown
Though Trump’s decision to shut down the government may keep him in Washington for the holidays, it won’t keep taxpayers from footing a heavy portion of the bill for Mar-a-Lago’s New Year’s Eve party. As was noted by Quartz this week, government spending data shows that the Secret Service paid Grimes Events & Party Tents Inc. of Delray Beach, Florida, $54,020 on December 19th for “TENT RENTAL FOR MAL.” An employee of the company confirmed to Quartz that it is providing tents for the annual for-profit bash at Trump’s “Winter White House” in Palm Beach.
Americans chipping in to help Trump and the Palm Beach elite turn over their calendars isn’t unique to this year. The Secret Service spent just over $26,000 on an array of accessories for Mar-a-Lago’s New Year’s Eve party in 2017, which was attended by both Trump and Melania. Though it’s never not going to be a conflict of interest when the president has taxpayers subsidize a for-profit party at his private club, $54,000 for tents feels especially egregious given that the government is currently running under a partial shutdown that has deprived approximately 800,000 federal workers of their paychecks.
Tickets to Mar-a-Lago’s New Year’s Eve party are $1,000, up from $750 a year ago, which was up from $575 the year before that. The cost of joining the club has also skyrocketed since Trump became a political figure. Shortly after he took office, former Obama ethics chief Norm Eisen described the price hike to the Washington Post as “naked profiteering that is more like something out of the era of Louis XVI.” Anyone with an extra grand lying around can essentially buy access to the president.
Given the government shutdown, it’s unclear whether Trump will make it to Florida for New Year’s Eve. After returning from a surprise visit to Iraq, Melania traveled to Palm Beach on Thursday night. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, both government employees, have been vacationing at Mar-a-Lago since before Christmas. On Tuesday, the couple was photographed taking a stroll in flip-flops.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management is telling the 800,000 federal employees currently out of a paycheck to turn to creditors for help paying their bills. The office even tweeted out sample letters employees can use to apply for relief.

For any of this to happen your leader would have to stay in office for the court cases that will go on for years to do what he wants , he will never be elected again and I'm doubtful he will make it to the end of his first 4 years. This is a nothing.

Not a wall, slats. We're now down to a maybe on slats, and no, Mexico ain't paying for shit.
If that happened and they got that money , it would be just as stupid then as it is now to make that goofballs wall.
I don't even want them to spend enough for no trespassing signs.

It'll be Mexicans and Mexican-Americans paying for the wall if it's built using tax money raised from taxes on foreign money transfers.
