Mexico will pay for the wall. I don't understand why every Democrat is not repeating that

over and over every time they are asked about this shut down. The president is saying he is willing to shut down the government over billions of dollars for a wall he swore the Mexicans were going to pay for. He gave away billions of dollars to the billionaires and now he wants working Americans to pay billions more for his wall. Dems need to get aggressive and insist he find a way for Mexico to pay like he promised.

Repeat over and over and over. He gave billionaires billions in tax cuts and now he wants working Americans to pay billions for a wall he promised Mexico would pay for. He should have the billionaires give him the money out of their tax cuts.

needs of immigrants ahead of the military and funding for the wall and calling them soft and traitorous. I think it's time to turn the tables and just start harping on the hundreds of times Trump told us that Mexico was going to pay for the wall and that he lied and he gave billions to billionaires and now he expects working people to pay for his stupid will. He's a terrible business man and a horrible negotiator and Mexico ran circles around him and so has every other country.

If this god damn wall is so god damn popular, why do we even need an appropriation. People will just send in the money, right?
