Why not? It would be interesting. If the government would guarantee me that at least 90% would go towards materials to build it, I'd send them a grand tomorrow.

Should do that for most government programs.

If we can have a volunteer military, we sure as hell can have a volunteer wall.

Contributions should be tax deductible.

It should be matched dollar for dollar with a tax on money wired to Latin America.

It is a good idea in theory. However, I would be wary of fraudulent gofundme's being set up. That is just the sort of play that's taken right out of the DNC playbook.

Without a doubt. What do you think, about a million dollar cap or open ended? I'm good either way.

With the government sponsoring it, I'd hope there would be a paper trail of how the account is handled.

I'm In. I've wondered about this for a while. I think there should be a minimum goal or contributions would be refunded.

Dems would never vote for the tax deductions.

But if an organization that was already a 501c3 could solicit the donations, rather than doing a GoFundMe, then those would be tax deductible. Right?

I would gladly give money for this cause. They could even send you a gift back for your donation depending on who much you gave.
For $100 you could get a certificate of Patriotism
For $500 you could get a flag that was flown over your section of the wall.
For $5,000 you could get a limited edition rifle only issued to those who contributed to protect our freedom.

I said it a few days ago, and I'll say it again...


I'm a broke mf'er living paycheck to paycheck and I would make bi-weekly contributions of every spare penny I have to help contribute.

Make The American Great Wall a National Park.
Lefties love National Parks.

For a certain amount they could inscribe your name in one of the bricks in the wall. Just like Disney does in the sidewalks.

I’d be down for that
