    After trying very hard to stop private people from building a wall it is under way and growing fast.
    Sunland Park allows construction to continue on border wall in N.M.

    Yes. My son maintained some time ago that Trump would make Mexico pay for the wall one way or another.. probably by stealth. Smart.. my boy as that is what is now happening with Trump imposing these new tarrifs on Mexican goods.

    Exactly! When Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall, he was not specific, and of course the media and the Trump haters all jumped to the conclusion that Mexico would have to pay for the construction. If there were just a 5% tax on Mexican imports, it would easily pay for the wall, but it would be ex post facto.

    Well, I hope you are all prepared to pay $6 for an avocado and more for a jar of salsa as these both come from those crooks in Mexico, who in the very beginning all of Calif belonged to Mexico.

    I will happily pay that if I don't have to see my tax dollars spent on supporting ILLEGALS. I'd also have no problem with California returning to Mexico.

    Avocados, that's funny, partly because that is such a trivial consideration compared to the harm done by open borders, but mostly because it's just another media talking point that you are parroting rather than thinking for yourself.

    What else do we get from Mexico, they build some autos down there for the U.S. don't they....what else, many veggies and produce that we can't grow all year round in the U.S....,,,, what else, I never bought a T-shrt that said Made in Mexico.

    Some drug companies are down there, one can go across the border and buy a pharma drug in a pharmacia for cheap....What Else.

    Oh I even buy and eat pineapple and other good fruits from our enemies in Costa Rica....keep them out, we don't need anyone to come here with their good stuff.

    They are truly our friends and Build Walls????!!!!!

    Oh, stop with the hysterics. The tariffs will be TEMPORARY; supporting the flood of illegals will be FOREVER.

    Oh they may never happen as so much that goes on in Washington is theatre.

    And we will always have toilets to be cleaned so yes let them come.

    And tomatoes to be picked and strawberries...don't see many whites in the fields picking.

    And it's not hysterics, but so many forget what these people, the enemy, does for the U.S. people and many die in the fields picking our foods.

    Let the ones who are willing to work come legally. But we don't need any more illegals to feed, support and give free health care.

    First, check your information as to who Mexico belonged to in order to figure out who had what we no know as California plus, no matter who had claimed possession of it, the state in its entirety was not inhabited by Latinos nor claimed by Spain, Mexico nor France. Only a small part of it shifted back and forth.

    Now, back to basics. Would you rather pay an extra 5% for your avocado or keep paying 30+BILLION beans for illegals. Just this last month you helped pay over $150,000 just for diapers alone. Yes, we do take care of the young ones whilst their parents or whatever are trying to process in claiming asylum.
    Get a grip on your purse and do the math!! Good Lord, that station you listen to can’t be that ignorant!

    Are you for real? While you may say they build cars for the United States, Americans who have worked for a living would say they took jobs from American workers. I can't think of anything civil to say to someone who is grateful to have Mexicans building cars for the US market.

    Americans would do those jobs, as they have in the past, if they paid better, and they would pay better if it wasn't for illegals and migrant workers willing to work for less. For that matter, if we didn't make it easier for someone to collect welfare than to start at a low-level job, Americans will still be willing to take those jobs.
