Thanks for the map! Makes the situation pretty damn clear. :)

Actually, Roland, YES, you ARE working for the “Fake Media”. As a matter of fact, you work for the FAUX Noise, the MOST FAKE one of all!

“Where will you find enough workers willing to build a 700-mile wall in 120 degree heat?”

…How ’bout Mexico?

(Runs like hell)

Okay, this one made me laugh. “They’re around”, lol! I agree with ADIRAIJU, though – how ’bout Mexico?

That wall is such a freaking fraud. And the really funny thing is that everyone KNOWS how to keep illegal immigrants from coming into the country. Simply start fining the dickens out every employer who hires an undocumented worker off the books. No employment = no incentive to enter the U.S. And there are plenty of people willing to inform.

Yep, but the employers aren’t willing to pay enough for citizens to work those jobs, so they make sure that the law doesn’t go after them, even if it costs them to keep on hiring lawyers and lobbyists. Instead, the law goes after people who can’t afford to pay, but are willing to do the work. Anyone else think of slavery when they hear that? Yet the GOP thinks that native born citizens are going to pick strawberries and lettuce and milk cows and kill chickens and do all the hotel jobs and such, for half or less of the pay it should cost the employers. But in actuality, the Trumpists will go on disability, apply for medicaid, and sit on their couches and watch Faux news, rather than work. Oh, they would be willing to do some mindless repetitive factory task for 30 dollars an hour, but those jobs got taken by robots. Are they gonna go empty trash at some office for minimum wages? Nope, too much heavy lifting or some such. Go find a doc that will prescribe oxycodone and go on disability. And blame someone else for your failings.

Roland thinking? Out loud? Will wonders never cease?

Yep, that wall is going to prevent fentanyl coming in from China.

The GOP’ers complain about the “the graveyard vote”, then provide a county voting map. (a map of votes by land area, not people)

How about a population voting map?

(Scroll down and look at the last two maps!)

Why build a wall to protect jobs, when Congress is about to pass a bill allowing for 500,000 visa’s for agricultural workers.

Black market labor is a scurge on the working people of America, and it has the full support of our representatives.

Reality Check: Roland really IS fake news!

Fake Fox loves to tell the fake president fake news.

The border crossings will stop when its as bad here as it is there. we are moving towards that with alarming speed.

@ajmsdca This is pretty darned accurate, unfortunately. It is the truth of many of the deplorables. Sad.

Anyone looked recently at HOW MANY Immigrants TRUMP hires for Mar-A-Lago each year??

“When US president Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe gathered to condemn a North Korean missile test, they did it just fifty yards from a wedding reception at Trump’s Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago, with celebratory music underscoring the threat of nuclear warfare.

That fees from that wedding, along with any other profits earned at the club, continue to line Trump’s pockets through a trust that lawyers say doesn’t eliminate conflicts of interest, since Trump has access to information about the profits and losses at his companies and can take control of the assets at any time. One way Trump is maximizing profits? He got permission from the US Department of Labor to hire 64 foreign guest workers to wait on his guests, cook their food and clean their rooms during the winter high season in Florida.

Trump had applied to bring in these workers while promising during his presidential campaign to kick undocumented immigrants out of the United States and block imports. At the time, he defended the guest worker practice by saying it was common among US companies, who will bring in 119,000 temporary workers in 2016 and 2017, many to work seasonal jobs. Temporary foreign workers come into the country under the H-2B visa program.

The Palm Beach Post reports that the latest documents released by the labor department—which will now be put in the position of approving future requests by the US president to hire guest workers—show that Trump cut wages for some of these employees. Cooks saw a 19-cent drop in wages per hour, while maids and servers saw a 10-cent bump."

Wow. Having the truth spoken to you was really upsetting wasn’t it. OK. Go back to your fantasy world where Widdle Don-Don doesn’t lie or bully and women enjoy being sexually harassed.

Today’s Jim Crow party is definitely suffocating itself, and has managed to use a handful of unethical cheating methods (Crosscheck disenfranchisement, selective deployment of crap voting machines, reduced hours, gerrymandering, widespread untraceable electronic voting on easily gamed machines) to stay in power without a genuine mandate.

Shouldn’t Roland look as old as Joanie? He’s a character from the early 70s. He should be in his late 60s by now at least.

Most independents who voted for Tangerine Adolf Cosby now regret it. Soon, all of the patriots who elected this disaster will. Of course that assumes that they even figure out how bad they are being screwed and that every promise made to them is a complete lie from a con man. As long as he continues to blame Mexicans, Muslims, and Antifa for their problems, they’ll love him even if their incomes continue to go down and expenses continue to go up. He’s trying. That’s all they’ll have left. But he’s working on the wall. He’s testing concrete. A guy who has built skyscrapers since the 70’s is testing concrete. You will never go broke underestimating the pure stupidity of the average uneducated American.

trump and assoc. are leading us down the dark road to fascism.

Methinks the Mexicans will build the wall themselves just to keep Trump out.

The fabricator-in-chief can do an episode of “This Old Wall,” where he demonstrates cement work and maybe a tile backsplash.

Yeah, Reagan was wrong about everything, after all.

There’s plenty of workers south of the border that need jobs. trump can hire them, and then not pay up.

Stop using common sense! Trump voters don’t understand it!

A viable THIRD PARTY could solve our stalemate

The wall. Yeah, still another goofy buffoon idea endorsed by trump. Trump didn’t create the idea of the wall, just embraced the idea.

And, in the end, when all the dust settles, and the far right has destroyed free America, after the bombs have poisoned the Earth, perhaps one Republican will remain who can stand proudly in the rubble, and say with glee, “We won!” The party of Ozymandias!

Don’t build a physical wall. Instead, build an electrified wall of Concertina wire. 25,000 volts powered by solar panels. Also install underground water sprinklers. Motion detectors detect movement, water sprinklers pop up and turn on. Crispy critter time. - Also install 50 cal machine guns 1 mile apart. - For the trucks carrying lot so people, drones with Hellfire missiles. One missile per truck ought to do the trick. After a few months, we won’t need to wall, they won’t try to come in illegally!!

“Dorkhenge”.

Well done and very funny.

And in two years (2019) it will be discovered that the “impenetrable” wall can be cut through with a $100 power tool. Trump then claims it was designed so that components, when cut out and removed, would be easy to replace. After cutting through the “impenetrable” “tall” “powerful” “beautiful” wall.
