So Trump is gonna tax imports to pay for the wall.

Which means we are paying for it via higher prices on goods from Mexico. Mexico is not paying for it at all.

Why am i not surprised?

If you don't believe the cost of goods go up by making the minimum wage $15 an hour, why does this?

I'm all for it. If we have to pay 20% more for avocados, maybe they'll work to grow avocados in America. You guys want a fairer wage, this is what happens.

lol...fair and balanced assessment there...

So...we don't have money to raise the minn. wage but we do have money to build a 15 billion dollar wall.

The big differences is he said Mexico was gonna pay for it....not us...so...jobs come back to the US but the prices of things we get from Mexico will go up too....

AH.....so refreshing to see these idea from the stone age resurrected. These are the policies of 1929 Herbert Hoover.

Have fun paying for the wall RF.

Start by prosecuting gang bangers with firearms convictions and keeping them locked up for a very long time. 

A simple show of force will bring out the boldest ones, and after they enact violence, we shoot them. These people don't deserve special treatment. All of that is entirely legal, but activist groups and liberal politicians refuse to punish thugs who endanger the lives of good people.

If groups try to riot, hit them with rubber bullets and tear gas. Arrest and prosecute those who lead and incite them.

I should have known you'd advocate for the guns-a-blazing approach...

The problem is inevitably some innocent person will get killed in that approach. And weren't  you just criticizing Obama for using drones in killing innocent people? Once again this is something that is OK when Trump does it but not OK when anyone else does it.
