(45,806 posts)They're constantly bitching about the deficit, and paying for the wall and all the labor to build it, hiring 5,000 workers to border security, building and staffing detention centers is going to cost A BUNDLE! I know they want to support THEIR prez,, but BILLIONNS??? Some of then just won't swallow that.
THEN, they'll find out the wall didn't work! It's gonna be an interesting couple of years.
