Here's an idea:
They build the wall In exchange for a path to citizenship. After a thorough background check, of course.

Cool. Then Trump can stiff'em with no citizenship, much like his unpaid workers.
Might be bad to have a path via payment (work exchange) but then that fits right in with the spirit of America.

I find it somewhat amusing how liberals seem to always believe they know best what people should do with their own hard earned money. In fact they'd take it all from everyone if they could and distribute it as they see fit.
I find it amusing people are stupid enough to throw their money away like this, how much did you donate?

The left wants them to clean their toilets and mow their lawns. At least construction pays better.

Everyone paying into this is being played for a fool!
Whoever this is doing this is going to walk away a rich person and make all others look stupid.
I can’t wait for the conclusion of this venture.

The wall would cost quite a bit more than 5 billion. That's just pays of the construction company owners profit.

Cool at that rate they will have the five billion some time in August of 2025 or 6.8 years from now give or take...

It seems that the cheap labor market is not going away. That's why the wall is not a priority. The country is not longer about the citizens. It is not a one sided political party situation.

clear as mud....
Im not afraid of walls or ceilings either... Or roller coasters for that matter.
What is clear is that trump is an old man with old fashioned ideas like barriers the chinese built a few hundred years ago.
The money could be better spent on technology to guard the border rather than a stupid wall that can be climbed over or dug under.

They are working with lawyers and people from the WH to ensure that the money only goes to the wall.

As it turns out, the government CAN accept the money but Homeland Security can't (as a department.) It would get put into a general fund, and could not actually be earmarked for any purpose
This is not the first time someone's tried this and run up against the same thing. This group also tried to crowdfund the wall and has run up against problems. I'm not sure where that money's going.
Byrd its fine
calm it down
wheels has a contact high up in the trump administration filled with all the best people.
wheels was told that the money will go directly to the wall
let them donate

Britain would build a wall.
Our border force is in Belgium and France controlling entry.
We have got a recent problem of people refusing to claim asylum in France crossing the Channel in small boats though.
Britain already built a wall (Hadrian's) and it didn't do much good back then... and that was with the highly efficient Roman Army defending it.
But just look at all the jobs Hadrian's wall created!
