They deserve it. Idiots.

You need to pay attention to detail. There's a critical difference between saying "From day one I said that I was going to build a great wall" to "I said that I was going to build a great wall [starting] from day one".

The wall is happening, and it's been happening over time.

In 2006, Democrats supported building a border fence -

Extending it now, though...that's racist... totally racist.

Well, since the 2006 border fence legislation was passed, with the support of then Senator Barack Obama, then Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Chuck Schumer, etc., about 1,250,000 meters of fencing and walls have been erected along the southern border. Trump's administration is continuing wall building under that legislation and is dedicating more resources to it.

Because when the Democrats were in favor of keeping Mexicans from crossing the border, it was for non-racist reasons, like not undercutting US wages, not allowing unauthorized people to work in the US, and not allowing illegal aliens to take advantage of government benefits without being part of the system. When Trump says we want to keep them from crossing the border because they're undercutting US wages, and working illegally in the country, and taking advantage of government benefits, we know he really means that he hates Mexicans and wants to keep them out of the country because they are Mexican....which he views as a race.

And an effective policy it was too. Reducing illegal immigration from Mexico significantly. Yet while the trend was down, Trumps rhetoric was up.
If you're an undocumented immigrant what benefits can you qualify for?

I see House Intelligence Committee chair Nunes has stepped aside in the Russian connection and ethics enquiry. About time too.

...we know what he "really" means.... he's white, he's rich, he's a chauvinistic womanizer...we just KNOW he wants to keep the darkies down....

I don't think Trump wants to keep the darkies down. Just their wages.
