>Addressing the Conservative Political Action Congress (CPAC), he vowed to always put American citizens first and build a "great, great border wall".
He also promised to focus on "getting bad people out of this country".
Mr Trump was greeted by chants of "USA, USA, USA!" as he addressed the annual forum in Maryland.
"We're building the wall," he said. "In fact it's going to start very soon. Way ahead of schedule. It's way, way, way ahead of schedule."
His comments come a day after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly met their Mexican counterparts in Mexico City.

>Neither made any mention of the wall in Thursday's news conference after their closed-door meetings.
The wall could cost up to $21.5bn (£17.2bn), according to Reuters, citing a Department of Homeland Security internal report - much higher than Mr Trump's estimated price tag of $12bn (£9.6bn).

Not bad. Illegal immigration costs us 84 billion dollars a year. It'll pay for itself in a few months
>>114945
So you assume all immigrants just walk through the border, eh.

1) It will never be finished, so the price will be more each year.
2) Maintenance will never be finished, so the price will be more each year.
Hence, it's [inadequate] trump's wet dream.
Trump is the presentation of the majority of the guys in the usa who grope and don't understand stop. But this is everywhere.

There are people who unabashedly believe this and can still dress themselves.

Trump is what happens when parents never tell their children "no".

>Congress keeps gutting useful programs like free meals for poor school children to offset our excessive debt spending
>Programs are literal pennies compared to the rest of the budget, say military spending, nevertheless they are frantic to cut everything they can.
>So far they've been letting Trump do whatever he wants as long as he leaves Congress alone.
Can't wait to see what happens when he drops that massive bill on their desk. Whether they'll laugh at him and cut their ties or take the hit so they can keep ridding the Trump train and pass more legislature.

Are we still going to make Mexico pay for it?

>Illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers about $113 billion a year at the federal, state and local level. The bulk of the costs — some $84 billion — are absorbed by state and local governments.
>The annual outlay that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers is an average amount per native-headed household of $1,117. The fiscal impact per household varies considerably because the greatest share of the burden falls on state and local taxpayers whose burden depends on the size of the illegal alien population in that locality
>Education for the children of illegal aliens constitutes the single largest cost to taxpayers, at an annual price tag of nearly $52 billion. Nearly all of those costs are absorbed by state and local governments.
>At the federal level, about one-third of outlays are matched by tax collections from illegal aliens. At the state and local level, an average of less than 5 percent of the public costs associated with illegal immigration is recouped through taxes collected from illegal aliens.
>Most illegal aliens do not pay income taxes. Among those who do, much of the revenues collected are refunded to the illegal aliens when they file tax returns. Many are also claiming tax credits resulting in payments from the U.S. Treasury.

Mexican and American companies are both clamoring to get in line. Trump is having them make their proposals and will likely evaluate them fairly on their merits alone.

Interesting that article has no mention of sales tax. Even if they don't pay income tax, illegal aliens pay sales tax on purchases, just like everyone else.

The full report is linke at the bottom.

See Section V: State and Local Taxes Collected
Try to be a little less disingenuous. State taxes aren't mentioned in the executive summary because the offset is negligible; they are certainly factored in the total costs.

Nigga what
Government spending has always been a hot topic, particularly when the military and politician paychecks are involved.
