    If the Republican leaders who provided this killer's paycheck had done their due diligence and not provided him with a steady position and salary at their company for years that young girl would be alive today.

    First, the $25B will not be the cost. heck, the price has already gone up... betting its more like $50-70B. That $$$ could be much better spent elsewhere... including better spent on border security.

    So now, after doubling the national debt in 8 years, squandering billions upon billions on social programs of questionable benefit, and holding military funding hostage in exchange for pork spending, the left is supposedly concerned with costs? Give me a break. The cost of the wall is a pittance compared to what's wasted by Washington, and will equal less than the net cost illegal immigration incurs to the American taxpayer in a single YEAR. It would be among the best values in government spending.

    I'm sure you'd love additional spending on "border security", so long as it's the generic type that doesn't actually stop illegal entry.

    We aren't playing this game anymore.

    The right are the ones who have continually destroyed our economy, our solvency and our deficits.

    **** your stupid dumb ass wall.

    Not to worry, Mexico is paying for the wall. Trump said so.

    When you talk about doubling of the national debt - you are referring to the bush tax cuts, the iraq war, and the recession that happened under Bush's watch, right?

    Or are you just that ignorant and don't know the facts?

    Or the fact that when Obama doubled it, it was because he added the war debt to the budget instead of on the national credit card. Which is the fiscally responsible thing to do.

    It’s incredibly disingenuous or ignorant to make these claims that Obama was fiscally irresponsible coming from a Trump fan that cheered on a 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut to the wealthy and corporations paid for on said credit card. At least Bush paid for it with the Clinton surplus.

    Worse thing Obama ever did was helped get 10 million people health insurance or help first time homebuyers get into a home to stop throwing away money on renting. I guess that was equivalent to the original sin.

    Wow... lots of words and amazingly none of them true. trump supporter, go figure.

    Now I know that now trump is president you suddenly don't care if the national deficit is growing to record levels filled with pork, but wasting even more money on a vanity wall that won't solve the immigration or border issues is and even worse waste of our tax dollars. Especially when illegal immigration is actually declining? And despite the fact that to help fund his vanity wall, trump actually cut spending on known effective border security measures: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/08/us/politics/trump-border-wall-funding-surveillance.html

    What does help solve the immigration and border problems?

    High tech surveillance: https://www.realcleardefense.com/ar...ical_for_effective_border_control_113214.html and https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/opinions/trump-border-wall-ineffective-opinion-cuellar/index.html
    Increased border patrol hiring: https://abcnews.go.com/US/border-patrol-ranks-declined-past-year-trumps-hiring/story?id=49261106 and http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-border-patrol-agents-20171111-story.html

    I'm surprised how little the mainstream media talks about what a disgusting piece of **** Trump Jr. is... Leaving Barron and Tiffany alone is good, but Trump Jr. is a greasy, chinless 40 year old out campaigning. He shouldn't be protected from media scrutiny.

    This family is an extraordinary example of faith and humanity. It would be easy to turn to hatred, one could even understand if they did.


    Be more like the Tibbets and less like those that propagate hate for political means.

    Justice must be served. Give this Rivera guy his Trial and execute.

    It's so disgusting how Trump and Candice Owens are trying to exploit this young woman's tragic death to promote a racist anti-Hispanic agenda. Just plain disgusting.

    Bold move by the grieving family. I wish those that often "champion" the rights of the victims abide by the family's wishes. So far it doesn't seem like they do.
