Quote:But later on Thursday, Mr. Spicer convened reporters again to say that the tax was just one option under consideration to pay for the wall. Reince Priebus, the president’s chief of staff, told NBC News that the proposal was just one in a “buffet” of options.
The confusion caused the Mexican peso to bounce sharply with each new development.
The House proposal, which Mr. Trump had previously criticized as too complicated, would not actually increase federal revenue. The gains from taxing imports would be offset because the government would stop taxing exports and would lower the corporate tax rate.
In addition, the import tax would not be collected from Mexicans. It would be collected from companies that sold Mexican products in the United States.
Mr. Trump would need new legislation to enact the proposal.

Technically it is a crime to trespass on sovereign land, so they are all criminals. They do not have permission to be here which is regulated by US customs and ICE. I wouldn't mind however allowing them to go through the process of gaining citizenship.

Getting awfully easy to be a criminal in your america. What would we need a wall or concentration camps or a newly recruited deportation force if everyone had access to the citizenship process? You don't seriously think it would stop "our enemies"...whomever they are, do you?

Thanks for the response scoob. And I'm sorry, but I still fail to see how the wall will help keep people from sneaking over the border. I know you said it's just "one thing" but it's one very expensive thing. Spending so much money on something that probably won't do anything to help seems very foolish and a huge waste. Don't you agree that anyone who wants to get through it will be able to do so just fine?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

It's really not an invasion, it's a way to destroy a culture from within to the point they lower their defenses and eventually destroy themselves. You should watch that video. I'm speaking as a former leftist who used to push a lot of what I know now to be leftist propaganda. The more I researched, the more the left I identified with resented me, to the point that I found conservatives understood the threat much better then those who were being led by "socialist equality" which I found out was a scam by the ultra rich to control the poor. Those that rant against nationalism are the ones who are a threat to the nation. They are reckless and don't understand how important it is for national unity, solidarity, and freedom. The US has a lot of freedoms for citizens, along with the self preservation of prosperity, I really wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Yeah, you're one of the known tinfoilers. So there's a reason why people outside your circle don't take you seriously.

Hey I was posting that Trump would be president months ago and no one took me seriously. Maybe you should get out of the bubble and learn what I know is about to happen. You can continue to listen to the people that continue to be wrong and get upset, or learn what the plan actually is.

I didn't say that. Are you suggesting that your country should just open its borders completely and take in everyone?
That seems like a false dichotomy to me.
