“There’s all kinds of things we can do. I’m not going to make news today by announcing what our strategy is going to be,” Miller said. “That’s one thing that’s different between this president and past presidents, is we don’t lay out all of our cards for everybody to see.”

So we’ll pay back Mexico? Mexico will grow cannabis on its side of the wall? There will be solar cells on the top generating power for Mexico? How is Mexico earning back its investment?

And why is Trump so obsessed with lowering the bill he’s sending to Mexico?

How does stopping illegal immigration save Americans money? Make more jobs available I understand, but the point of illegal immigration is so guys like the Donald can reduce their labor costs by using cheap imported labor…

Businesses in border towns are scared to death of this wall, precisely because it’s going to have a very negative effect on their local economies.

Many Mexicans have stopped coming across since this travel ban fiasco.
