Have the dreamers pay for it before they can become citizens.

Figure 50 billion for The Wall/ 1.8 million dreamers.

Each one would be responsible for about 30k in funding. That's under 3k per "Dreamer" per year over a decade.

They prove they paid their "fair share", pass the citizenship test, then POOF, they are our newest American citizens.

What say ye?

Or we just pay for it now without them and they never become citizens

and you don’t get to vote until it’s paid for. Or the aforementioned we build it and they’re up poop creek.

The wall will be built. We will have the highest wall, the best wall.

I've got a kicker too; just noted a Fox New ticker across the bottom that said Trump was floating a policy wherein people have their criminal convictions forwarded to the National Background Check System. Well...seems we just got a way to find out how many Illegals/DACAs are committing crimes, and what sort of crimes. And all for the good of 'gun control'. I want to see the Dems handle that hot potato.

Trump should tweet this out - with no focus on DACA or Illegals - but across the board. And with severe penalties for non-reporting. I know the gun rights crowd might be set off, but it could start off with Concealed Carry Permits only. What we really need is that data base.

(Not trying to hijack,sm...just adding in.)

And technically Mexicans would pay for the Wall. Brilliant!

Right on par with this...

"Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the 'Patriotic Retirement Plan':

"There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

"1.) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings -- Unemployment fixed.

"2.) They MUST buy a new AMERICAN car. Forty million cars ordered -- Auto Industry fixed.

"3.) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -- Housing Crisis fixed.

"It can't get any easier than that!!

"P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes. Mr. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

"If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know."

Better idea...shut down all of our military bases in the EU, call it a matter of national security, and have the army build it with part of the DOD budget. Let Fraulien Merkel buy her own tanks.
