I love the "big beautiful door" part. If you're entering the country legally, you'll feel like you're getting into a nice, wealthy place and that you ought to appreciate the privilege.

With healthcare off the table now maybe the attention can turn to illegal immigration. Thus far, it seems like the administration is moving in the right direction on this. Wall or no wall, enforcing the law is a good start.

Who will build the wall? The Mexicans!
These Hispanic contractors offered to build Trump’s border wall. Then the death threats began

They’ve received death threats and had profanities and rocks hurled at them. One company’s tractor was stolen.

“A lot of people are saying, ‘You’re Latino. How can you build a wall to keep other Latinos out?’ We had to do a lot of soul-searching before we jumped into this because it’s obviously a very, very controversial topic,” said Michael Evangelista-Ysasaga, chief executive and owner of the Penna Group, a firm based in Fort Worth.
Evangelista-Ysasaga, whose grandparents emigrated from Mexico, said he fielded five death threats one morning alone this week from “random people calling into the office and just screaming.”
...
Of the approximately 200 companies that have responded to the federal government’s two requests for proposals for a solid concrete border wall and another wall design, at least 32 companies are Hispanic-owned, according to a Washington Post analysis of a federal database. The deadline for proposals has been extended to April 4.

Breaking/Genius: Border wall to be paid for by a 2% tax on immigrants sending money abroad...

Border wall funding solved: GOP pushes for 2% fee on money immigrants send home
A group of House Republicans on Thursday introduced the first major bill to fund President Trump’s border wall, saying the government could collect billions of dollars by imposing a 2 percent fee on all the money Mexicans and other immigrants send back home.
Estimates vary, but remittances from those in the U.S. to their relatives back home could top $130 billion a year. A 2 percent tax could net more than $2 billion a year if it applied to all money regardless of who’s sending it.
“This bill is simple — anyone who sends their money to countries that benefit from our porous borders and illegal immigration should be responsible for providing some of the funds needed to complete the wall,” Rep. Mike Rogers, Alabama Republican, said in a statement. “This bill keeps money in the American economy, and most importantly, it creates a funding stream to build the wall.”
Mr. Rogers and Rep. Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania are leading the effort.
Mr. Trump has vowed to make Mexico foot the bill for his border wall, but Mexican authorities have said they won’t play along.
Left without a funding source, the president has said American taxpayers will pick up the tab for now, and he’ll look for ways to soak Mexico in the long run.

Democrats fail to block Trump border wall in defense bill
House Democrats tried but failed Friday to block spending on President Trump's proposed border wall under the annual defense bill.
Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., pressed for a House floor vote that would have added a prohibition on any Pentagon spending to build the wall. She did so at the end of debate on the National Defense Authorization Act, and her move was a protest against the House GOP decision to strip language out of that bill that would have prevented the NDAA from authorizing work on the border wall.
"The only way this body can guarantee that Trump cannot use Department of Defense funds to construct the border wall is to put that prohibition in the bill explicitly," Grisham said on the floor.
But Republicans thwarted the move, and Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, received a standing ovation for his opposition speech that said the House needs to quickly approve the fiscal 2018 defense authorization bill. The NDAA was passed by the chamber moments later, in a vote that saw most Democrats support it.
"We could spend all day and night arguing provisions that prohibit what is not in the bill. There's nothing in this bill that authorizes a border wall," Thornberry said. "The focus of the bill is the men and women who serve our nation in the military and the national security of the United States."
Thornberry, the Armed Services Committee chairman, also argued against Democrat attempts to add the controversial amendment to the $696 billion annual policy bill while it was being heard in the committee last month.
Grisham argued that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has the authority to shift existing money to begin construction of the wall, which was a top campaign promise of Trump.

U.S. eases environment laws for Mexico border wall near San Diego
Quote:Quote:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday it would waive environmental and related laws in order to expedite building security-related barriers and roads along the nation’s border with Mexico near San Diego.
The projects would focus on about 15 miles (24 km) of the frontier extending eastward from the Pacific Ocean as part of President Donald Trump’s planned wall between the United States and Mexico, the DHS said in a statement. It said the area is one of the busiest U.S. border sections.
“The sector remains an area of high illegal entry for which there is an immediate need to improve current infrastructure and construct additional border barriers and roads,” the DHS said.
The department will oversee the installation of extra barriers, roads, lights, cameras and sensors on the border under the authority of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996, the statement said.
The act grants the secretary of homeland security authority to waive requirements to comply with various laws to ensure the building of barriers and roads, while being mindful of cultural and environmental impacts, the statement said.

Paul Ryan is a complete cuck, but a smart politician. He knows that if he cucks too hard, he could lose to a MAGA challenger or at least take a lot of flak from his constituency.
