Could somebody please explain to the Democrats (we need their votes) that our Country losses 250 Billion Dollars a year on illegal immigration, not including the terrible drug flow. Top Border Security, including a Wall, is $25 Billion. Pays for itself in two months. Get it done!

Several tweets out there debunking it. Didn't bother to post them since we already know it's a lie.

Could somebody please explain to realDonaldTrump that the voices in his head are not audible to the rest of us, and we require just a little more reality before we start demanding that other people act?

Also, has anyone notified realDonaldTrump that both houses of Congress are still under the sole control of Republicans?

He just makes up a number that he read from Q Anon or some other nonsense.

Illegal immigrants do not cost us much at all.

He lied. His stupid wall was never anything more than a campaign stunt anyway, a threadbare one liner he recites during his one man lounge acts in an effort to resuscitate the flagging attention span of his geriatric fans. Its never going to get funded or built because its more profitable to use the dang thing for fundraising scams to fleece the ignorant, quaking, misinformed louts who willingly join Trump's cult.
