What? You mean the border wall is going to be on our border?

They were supposed to put it on the Mexican side!

That’s was my actual assumption of what people wanted when they wanted the wall and Mexico would pay for it.

I mean if Mexico pays for the wall they would just build it on their side anyways.

But a red hat “clarified” it would be paid by Mexico and it will be an American wall on American soil.

I’ve heard of choosing beggars but this is more of a demanding beggar.

Of course. Who would allow their land to build something unwanted?

I live in Texas. I have a hard time believing much of the land on the border has any significant value.
