After reading these posts. I have come to the conclusion that Trump can continually lie to his followers and they question nothing and just make more excuses for what he says.
He said during his campaign that he would build a 30 foot wall and Mexico will pay for it. After Nieto laughed in his face several times over time Trump changed his story.
1) They will pay for it later. 2) The new NAFTA will pay for it. 3) We will then pay for it by stopping illegals because we won't be paying social benefits.
Now the wall is simple steel beams in the ground and it won't cover the whole terrain.
This whole wall is a boondoggle. Wall meet ladder, wall meet tunnel. This is such crap about stopping illegals. First off Mexicans aren't pouring over here, it is Guatamelans and Hondurans.
Trump received huge amounts of money from private prison builders during the campaign and funded his inauguration. 93% of the ICE detainees are in private prison at almost double the cost to the taxpayer.
The lies about asylum seekers getting $50,000 is a right wing lie. It has never happened and won't. There are certain benefits that someone can apply for but that is it. people pay taxes.
The CATO institute is a far right wing group funded by people like the Koch brothers that spread lies.

I am for sensible immigration laws but the lies that we accept from Trump are a danger to our democracy. We wouldn't have accepted then from Obama.
