    Yep, yep. They just agree with me more often, err way more often than the Democrats.
    I am now worried though, that we don't seem to have any real Democrats any more. Like the old Wayne Morris, Scoop Jackson, John Kennedy, Sam Nunn, Daniel Moynihan...
    People that were Democrats not socialist or Commie pinkos. Too bad we don't have some now that the Pubs have both houses and the Executive.
    Your point number three is wide open for repeat.

    I would like to think we both do. But something is broken here?

    California already leads in car chase tv coverage. Imagine the carnage on the freeway. This is why I prefer making them leave on their own. I don't know how people from far away countries will afford the trip but I'm leaning towards not caring.

    Former Mexican Diplomat: Trump Could Actually Make Mexico Pay For Wall

    Mexico’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs warned Thursday that a President Donald Trump could actually get the country to pay for a wall.

    “I think we should be serious about this,” Jorge Castaneda said at the Hudson Institute in comments first reported by The Weekly Standard. “If [Trump] really wants Mexicans to pay for the wall, he has many ways of getting many Mexicans to pay for the wall.”

    Castaneda, who served as Foreign Minister of Mexico from 2000 to 2003, went on to criticize the proposal of a Mexican senator who wants to stop Mexican money from potentially going towards building a wall. “I like the Senator who proposed something, Armando Rios Piter’s,” he said. “He’s a nice guy, he’s a good friend, he’s an intelligent fellow, but this is not serious – proposal to forbid Mexican federal money from being used for paying the wall.”

    The former diplomat said Trump could force Mexico to foot the bill for a border wall by increasing visa fees, which is a decision made by the State Department, not Congress. Or he could increase the toll on bridges through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, or through taxing remittances. “There are ways of doing it,” he said, adding: “So that’s silly, Rios Piter’s thing, es una tonteria [Spanish for it’s silly].

    Consider that Trump could levy a fee on all wire transfers to Mexico and checks on US banks cashed in Mexico.

    It doesn't really matter what the Mexican president says.

    True, but what goes around comes around. Why couldn't Mexico levy a fee on every gringo wanting to go to Puerto Vallarta or Mazatlan?

    It just seems like the wall is such a old-school approach. I favor drones and robots with tasers.

    The Federales run the Mexican government. I'm sure they're excited to pay for a wall....lol

    More and more I'm thinking Trump is a retard filling in as a President. People who voted for him are going to face a cold, hard reality.

    And? Mexico would only be harming themselves. The tariff plus the loss of resort revenues.

    Other than Bernie, what actual, real life Democrat is a communist or a pinko? I mean really amigo, that is just so much meaningless rhetoric.
