Rs are seriously planning on spending $12-billion on a non-existent "problem"

[stopbush]

Think about it.

Our border is currently quite secure. The net outcome on so-called illegal immigrants is zero. We're sending back as many as are coming in. The idea that we need a wall is pure fantasy. Actually building it is a national shame and will be an economic disaster.

Yet, Trump's manufactured, rile-up-the-racists rhetoric is going to cost this country tens of billions of dollars to address a non-existent situation. That's money that would be just as well spent were we to create a barrier to prevent Zeus from returning to supplant Jeebus as our god of choice. And the Rs in Congress are going to do it, handing the country a bill it doesn't want or need and paying for that bill by cutting social programs and government offices that provide much-needed help to millions of Americans.

1. Three card trick

They are going to steal 12 billion

[etherealtruth]

2. Because our roads and bridges are in such good shape we have money to squander

3. How many more billions will be squandered chasing down the non-existent

3 million illegal voters and the non-existent link between vaccination and autism? We are in a fool's paradise.

4. Even if it was a genuine problem

Building a wall is about the most idiotic ineffective solution imaginable.
Is every Republican a total imbecile???? WTF... a wall????
