    In case people have forgotten, Obama, Clinton, and others made speeches wanting to Secure the Border.
    They promised and did not deliver. We are not so naive that we do not know their only intentions were
    to SECURE VOTES and not to protect the safety and security of the country and their citizens!
    And the beat goes on ......... Need I say more?

  • ginamarie - 5 years ago

    Yes, we do need a wall, and ICE, electric fence and border patrol and maybe more.
    We lock our doors at night not because we hate other people but because we want to protect our "family":
    We have plenty of undesirables that sneaked in already, plenty of crime as it is, plenty or people that barely make it, plenty of homeless veterans and others, and we have to support every immigrant that cannot speak English, has no skills and no education?
    In addition, you can see what is going on in many countries of Western Europe. They allowed soooo many people in under the "asylum" flag and now they are really suffering, not the politicians, mosTy the average citizen is the one suffering the most and now rebelling. Must check everyone carefully, grant asylum on merit, and do it legally. The US CAnnot save everyone on the planet. That is why they have their
    own governments to protect their own. We have our own corruption but -they- are on top of the charts.
    I am sure some will disagree, only because their views on immigration are askew, because they are illegal themselves and us the taxpayers support them with no effort of their own, or because they are ignorant on what is happening in the world. As you probably know, not every asylum seeker has a clean record, or has good intentions or plans for some education to become a productive citizen and wave the AMERICAN FLAG rather than the flag from Honduras, or Guatemala or Mexico and appreciate the benefits of life in the US, that their own governments did not provide them. I am talking about the majority and -NOT- the exception.
    AMEN!

    I’m in. At least I have an option to buy it or not, unlike so many of these socialist robin hoods who justify taxing everyone to death to get what they want!

    I believe trump said Mexico would pay for it, just so you know, MEXICO IS NOT GOING TO PAY, but that was a lie like many other trump had said.
    I wouldn't buy a lottery ticket to pay for a wall, how about giving more support to our teachers??
    I will buy a ticket for that, without hesitation.

  • Rick Henley - 6 years ago

    Stop tbem from coming in and it will pay for itself.

  • Janine - 6 years ago

    If you voted for this guy you pay for it! Brilliant idea!

  • abc - 6 years ago

    Great, another dumb idea conjured up from the dregs of Arizona's underfunded, failing education system. I'll support the wall when Trump dives off it head first into a pile of cement, followed by Pence and Betsy DeVos (it would make her smarter!)

  • Dee - 6 years ago

    In response to what does Trump have to lie about? Hmmm, Let’s see, I don’t know, I can’t keep up with his lies, since he’s been recorded telling over 3000 since he began his run for office. All one has to do is read the paper or watch television if you’re not into reading.You’re right about one thing however, he’s a daddy’s boy, born with a silver spoon in his mouth who had to declare chapter eleven four times. Real smart! And he almost had to declare personal bankruptcy, had it not been for the Banks bailing him out. And of course most of us have heard him say he knows more than the Generals, even though his daddy helped him avoid the draft. While Trump talks tough, he’never gotten his hands dirty, He couldn’t carry his own state and he has never served his country or state in anyway shape or form (until this election) except to serve himself, his interests and his family. Lest we forget his cheating on his wives, bullying anyone who doesn’t agree with him, is Xena phobic, and a biggot. I’ll say one thing for him however, he’s one hell of a salesman.

    ARE YOU Kidding? OMG... This sounds like it was put together by some crazy Republican in State government. Probably was. Another embarrassing moment for Arizona...

  • Tony Hollenbeck - 6 years ago

    What reason does Trump have to lie. He doesn’t need the money that every other president has before. He doesn’t need to make anyone happy in order to keep making money once he leaves office. He is only doing what the people have asked him to do. The wall will slow down the illegal crossers and let border patrol concentrate their efforts on only the weak areas with technology and it will take less of them to do the same job. What does Trump have to gain by lying? Support from people he doesn’t need it from? He is a very intelligent man, a lot like most of us but he has money which does not make him evil or a lier. It gives him the ability to make changes that are right for the country and not for his pocket book or political power that he doesn’t need. Wake up America! Trump is doing his best to help our country and he deserves our support. Yes I would buy many tickets.

    Look at Mexico's immigration laws. 10 times stricter than ours! Why is nobody complaining about their laws?

  • Dee - 6 years ago

    The ‘wall’ is one of the most asinine ideas, among many, from Trump. If he knew anything about our border crossing at tthe borders, he would know they tunnel under what they can’t walk through. Change the laws and
    create more jobs at the borders if you’re that worried. Examine your heart if you have one Mr. Trump and stop blaming the innocent and needy. It’s not what our country was founded on.

    Technology works; walls don't! Complete waste of money! We need roads, bridges, mass transit, hospitals, fire prevention, education... Donald lies! Remember that every time he talks/tweets!

  • Bernie Sanders - 6 years ago

    We should socialize the walls away from the liberals who didn't try hard enough to give Hillary Clinton the presidency and put them to the greater good of the people on the southern border. That way everybody gets their own preference on borders. A woman's right to choose is about her walls inside and out.

  • Anthony Johnson - 6 years ago

    If this were to take effect I would stop buying lottery tickets all together. The wall is pointless anyway. Anyone wanting to come here is going to get here regardless. Most people I know that are here illegally came here to shop, visit family, vacation and just ended up staying. The wall represents the stupidity of America.

  • Donald Giotta - 6 years ago

    Hell no!

  • Barbara - 6 years ago

    Yes! Build the wall! When people come across illegally they should be put in a bus and taken back across the border. It is costing the US a lot to feed the people in the shelters. The adults are wanting their children to stay here. That’s why they bring them with them. If the adults get sent back without their children then they would have done what they set out to do.
    If the US opens it’s borders for everyone think about what it will do to our country! We will end up a third world country. Everyone that comes across will end up with government housing and government funding which will have to come from the working people.

  • Pat - 6 years ago

    It’s bad enough having my tax dollars going toward a wall. There’s no way I would spend another cent. But if other zealots want to throw their $’s into the cesspool - go for it!

  • Jolene Bates - 6 years ago

    No way!!! I would stop buying lottery tickets!! Our schools need the money!!

  • Lissette Ponce - 6 years ago

    Never!!!! There’s a whole lot of issues much more important than a stupid wall...

  • Pat Marlin - 6 years ago

    Oh God I just saw Kristeen.....hooooly shit you are dumb lady. Like, for real? Someone before me did something really stupid so obviously it's a great idea. Here's the thing about a wall, would it would prevent is people who are actually fleeing violence and what it would never ever prevent is cartel drug movement, movement of violent offenders, or any other thing that would actually keep you safe. Love always Mike the complete fucking idiot.

  • Al - 6 years ago

    10’ wall....11’ ladder

  • K. Elliott Crawford - 6 years ago

    Absolutely NOT. We need a wall like we need another 10 million people behind bars. A waste of money. This country has way too much crap to repair and rebuild in our infrastructure. We should NEVER get a tax reduction until we are debt free and our infrastructure is in perfect condition. We need these people to get the crops out of the field or our prices will go sky high not due to our governments incompetence but due to our stupidity leading to the election of a perverted narcissist as POTUS and he only does things that make him wealthier.... to hell with our country, it’s people, and our planet!

  • Pat Marlin - 6 years ago

    Yeah I know I'm going to be Mike and I'm going to talk about how I lock my front door to my house and therefore we obviously need a wall around a country, because there's some sort of connection between those two completely different concepts and idiots simpleton Mike thinks that makes a point. Love always Pat Marlin

  • Pat Marlin - 6 years ago

    I just wish that Super Idiot Mike would have listed his last name because I would really rather be him right now.

  • Pat Marlin - 6 years ago

    I honestly think I've just adopted this name for my stupid internet comments forever now, thank you real Pat Marlin. Your stupidity gave me a new way to have fun.

  • Pat Marlin - 6 years ago

    Half of these comments are just hilarious, people thinking they are talking to someone literally asking them whether or not they should build a wall. I chose the dumbest one for my name.

  • Kerry - 6 years ago

    Hook it up!

  • Patricia - 6 years ago

    What people have ignore is that all people of all colors and walks of life have human rights and we don't ever need a wall what we do need is for people to have compassion and stop making fun just because someone is different.

  • Jodie - 6 years ago

    I would quit buying tickets if it was funding the stupid wall. Let the billionaires pay if they want it

  • Pat Marlin - 6 years ago

    If they want to come to the US, then let them come legally like everyone else. I’m sick of this. YES build it.

  • Kristeen - 6 years ago

    We do need the wall. If it wasn't needed then why is there already a partial one in place? Obviously past administrations thought it was necessary. We need to complete and make it in penitrable. I'm all for immigration but it needs to be done by the book. Our book, not what other countries seem acceptable. China has one of the largest walls ever. Nobody complains about that.

  • Mike - 6 years ago

    Do you lock the doors to your home? Would you let any stranger just walk into your home and do whatever? America is our home and we need to protect it with walls and locks and any other security means. Its fine for immigrants to come to America, but there is a process and they need to be vetted. Yes, let’s build the Great Wall of America!!

  • Will Snyder - 6 years ago

    Just for schools...trump said the Mex's are paying for the wall..Just another lie..

  • Tania - 6 years ago

    There is no reason the build the wall. It would cost too much to build and maintain. People will still find a way around it.

  • Lynn - 6 years ago

  • James - 6 years ago

    No way Jose! Whatever happened to Trump’s promise to have the Mexicans pay for it. Another lie!!

  • Beth - 6 years ago

    I thought Mexico was paying for the wall!

  • Peter Vann - 6 years ago

    Not only no, but h**l no - not one dime toward the wall. And what's this with the orange man's business "success". You mean FAILURES?

  • James Sparls - 6 years ago

    I don’t want a wall at all. However, if we have to have a wall, let the morons who support it pay for the stupid wall by buying lottery tickets. I, for one, will save my money.

  • Stephanie Kinsey - 6 years ago

    Absolutely it needs to be done asap
