Chitchat Trump sell Texas to fund wall... possible...
- Thread starter tanwahtiu
- Start date
Texas, california, nevada, new mexico, maybe florida were part of spanish territory. They should be returned.
SELL. SELL YOUR MOTHER DAUGHTERS SISTERS PUACHEEBAI.
Why can't the yanks just tax all Mexicans crossing the border? Charge border fee of 2 bucks per crossing. At 350 million crossings a year that is 750 million per year. Can finance the wall after 1 year. And after 5 years can pay off the wall. Than reduce the price to 1 dollar and that will cover the maintenance and upkeep and pay border force and ICE agents. A self funding scheme
If Trump wants his name to be in the history book, he should declare the separation of the Trump states from the union. Trump will become the founder of Trump nation comprising of the southern states, namely Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Tennessee and Mississippi. The red necks can fight amongst them later on as Texas and Georgia will compete to boss the others around.

Donald Trump threatens to close Mexican border if he doesn't get wall funding

United States President Donald Trump says he will close the US border with Mexico if opposition Democrats in Congress do not agree to fund the construction of his border wall.
Key points:
One of Mr Trump's main election pledges was to restore jobs and opportunities for Americans who feel they have been shut out of a globalised world, with the bulk of American manufacturing being outsourced.
He took aim at the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) yet again, saying the "United States looses soooo much money on Trade with Mexico under NAFTA, over 75 Billion Dollars a year".
The agreement, agreed to by Canada, the US and Mexico under president Bill Clinton in 1994, enabled the free flow of goods between all three countries.
Some critics of the agreement have said it was responsible for a slew of job losses in the industrial heartland of the mid-west.
But in October, Mr Trump renegotiated the agreement, making free trade only possible if 75 per cent of a car was manufactured in either the US, Mexico or Canada, while raising the minimum wage for auto workers, among other changes.
Some say this is a move designed to pinch Mexico, which has enticed many US automakers away from the mid-west due to relatively low-labour costs.
This is sentiment the President shared:
Asked about Mr Trump's border-closing threat, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said it was an internal US Government matter.
"We take great care of the relationship with the Government of the United States," Mr Lopez Obrador said.
In an interview with America's National Public Radio (NPR)Greg Ip, the chief economics commentator at the Wall Street Journal, said Mr Trump's vision was "a world of many years ago".
"He has a vision of the United States when the US steel makers and auto companies stood astride the world and all our cars were made here," Mr Ip said.

VIDEOTrump says shutdown "will hopefully not last too long"
The comments come amid the third US Government shutdown in 2018, as Congress has refused to allow the $7 billion to fund Mr Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico.
Congress adjourned for the week without a resolution in sight.
A spokesperson for Democrat Chuck Schumer said the White House had been told that there were three existing federal funding proposals containing funds for border security that could pass both the House and the Senate — and that Mr Trump should accept one of those.
At present, however, the two sides remain far apart, Mr Schumer's office said.
Democrats have offered support for $1.84 billion funding for general border security, but have long opposed the building of a wall.
The continuing shutdown affects more than 800,000 US employees, who will either be forced to work without pay or take a leave of absence.
Air traffic controllers, troops and the border agents are some of the employees who are deemed "critical" and will be working throughout the shutdown, while those at NASA and the National Park Service will be forced to stay home.
In previous shutdowns, federal employees have been paid retrospectively.
Trump targets Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador

Rounding off the tweetstorm was Mr Trump's assertion that the Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador were "taking advantage of the US for years".
The President has repeatedly voiced his disdain toward migrants from these countries who have sought to cross into the US from Mexico outside of official ports of entry.
Tens of thousands of migrants have fled their homes to seek asylum in the US, to escape acute poverty and extreme violence that has amplified in recent years.
Gang warfare, stoked by groups such as MS-13 and M-18, have plagued the region since the 1990s, after the US deported undocumented migrants with criminal histories — creating what is now known as Central America's Violent Northern Triangle.
In recent months, the migrants fleeing the region have been typified by a caravan that Mr Trump labels an "invasion", as thousands make their way through Mexico en route to the US border.
In response, Mr Trump has asserted that they harbour "stone-cold criminals" and that there were "Middle Easteners"in the group.
In the time since the mass migration has begun, the US has stepped up punitive border patrol methods, separating families at the border and throwing tear gas at those trying to cross the border.
At present it is still unclear if Congress will allow funding for Mr Trump's desired border wall.

United States President Donald Trump says he will close the US border with Mexico if opposition Democrats in Congress do not agree to fund the construction of his border wall.

"Go back to pre-NAFTA before so many of our companies and jobs were so foolishly sent to Mexico."Asked about Mr Trump's border-closing threat, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said it was an internal US Government matter.
"We take great care of the relationship with the Government of the United States," Mr Lopez Obrador said.
"Of course we will always defend our sovereignty … we will always protect migrants, defend their human rights."
Critics of those seeking to return to a world with tariffs say this points to a nostalgia for a world that no longer exists.In an interview with America's National Public Radio (NPR)Greg Ip, the chief economics commentator at the Wall Street Journal, said Mr Trump's vision was "a world of many years ago".
"He has a vision of the United States when the US steel makers and auto companies stood astride the world and all our cars were made here," Mr Ip said.
"The United States has moved on. We have other industries that we're good at, and some of the less-skilled jobs have moved abroad."
