Politics GOP lawmaker introduces bill to crowdfund border wall

[SlyPokerDog]

Rep. Diane Black (R- Tenn.) has introduced legislation that would create a “border wall trust fund,” allowing people to donate money towards President Trump’s border wall.

The Border Wall Trust Fund Act would “allow the Secretary of the Treasury to accept public donations to fund the construction of a barrier on the border between the United States and Mexico, and for other purposes.”

Appearing on Fox News on Monday afternoon, Black said the bill would allow those “who really want to see a secure border” to donate to a trust to raise money for the security measure.

Trump would probably try and find a way to funnel it to himself.

Trump would probably try and find a way to funnel it to himself.

Huge infrastructure projects are a great way to funnel off money to loyalists, just ask Putin about the Sochi Olympics, and the World Cup in Russia. I'm sure the Russians passed Trumski the playbook.

That money will never exist Cippy….there's a 10 year cap on it

 

[riverman]

Strangely...not one Mexican national has contributed to the Border Wall Trust Fund Act...

I’m joking, I know I know.

Originally it was ‘Mexico will pay for the wall”. Now it’s “America will pay for this wall or I will shut this fucking country down!”
Hilarious

 

[oldmangrouch]

I actually like this idea. Demonstrate how few voters support this plan now that we are no longer pretending Mexico is going to pay for it.

I'm sure millions of Mexicans would pay Billions of dollars into a fund like that. Remember, Mexicans are going to pay for the Wall and be darn glad to do it.

 

[riverman]

Can we just build a wall around Trump's twitter account and call it a day?

 

[MARIS61]

Huge infrastructure projects are a great way to improve and modernize a nation.

Fify.

 

[Chris Craig]

What idiocracy. The wall will not get built on the small amount of money trump supporters donate. Not only will the wall not get built. That money will disappear.
