Trump voters are being called on to crowdfund border wall: ‘It could be a people’s wall’
I suggested this a long time ago. This Goodman guy is right though when expressing concern about getting our monies worth...not to mention, making sure the money actually funds the wall.
One responder also suggested we sell add space.
Would you donate to help fund the wall?

End the giveaway programs and you end problems with immigration. Only those that want an opportunity to work, to be part of the US culture and improve their lives through commerce and capitalism would come.
As long as they can come and get a free ride from tax payers they will find a way to do it, no matter what is done to stop it.
If it were funded by those who wish to by a private charity I would completely agree with you. So long as it is done by force through the government its the problem.
The wall is also needed in my opinion. The trafficking of children and Drugs is a real issue.
Trump pointed out that illegal crossings where the wall has been rebuilt declined 95% or more. I have a locks on my doors at home and I know that people could break a window to gain entry, but I still wouldn’t sleep well with out my wall (locks).
Fuel to boost their power needs more voters to swarm across the border.

Border Patrol agents tracked an ultralight aircraft as it crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and made it 30 miles into the country early Tuesday morning — and when they got to the landing spot, they found two Chinese men who had been smuggled in by the aircraft.
The ultralight had escaped, lifting back off and returning to Mexico, but agents say they did manage to nab a Mexican man waiting in a vehicle near the landing zone in southern California, apparently ready to pick up the Chinese men and deliver them to their destination.
Experts said they had seen ultralights, small aircraft powered by lawn mower-sized engines, used to drop loads of drugs in the U.S. But they were surprised to see them being used to ferry illegal immigrants.
“It’s disturbing,” said Chris Harris, who retired this year after a two-decade career as a Border Patrol agent in San Diego and who suggested it could be a way for cartels to get dangerous people across the border. “If you want to get some operatives in this country very quickly, that’s a way.”
Gloria I. Chavez, chief patrol agent in the El Centro sector of the Border Patrol, agreed that ultralights pose a threat to “national security.”
Will the folks on the ultralights die? Maybe. Same as someone breaking into a home and being shot by the homeowner.
Drones? Keep knocking them out of the sky and it will soon stop. They are not cheap.
We should have revolted a long time ago...Now we live with that mistake.
For every reason there is a season, no?
Of course people have a right to defend themselves when necessary -- the police can't be everywhere. But protection against criminals is a major function of government, and government should be where crime is expected and common so innocent people do not have to engage in gun fights.
Besides, leftists own property, too, and if "no trespassing or we shoot" is the only policy for illegal immigration, leftists owning property along the border are happy to say, "here is gateway, come on in".
Anarchy relying on private gun fights to resolve problems isn't a solution to anything. Part of the problem is that we already have border anarchy in many areas as a consequence of border policy anarchy.
A physical wall with gates and free passes is not an answer to the false premises and their acceptance. A wall might slow some of them down but not stop them now; with more extreme collectivists in power in the declining trend it would do nothing with gates wide open and invitations dropped from the sky worldwide.
This is an intellectual problem for the spread of the right ideas, not "free stuff" and physical walls trying to substitute for that.
Also agree that the wall is a substitute. They are attempting to deny the reality that the free stuff is the problem, and then the reality that the whole culture has to change to remove the free stuff.
Taxation is not only a use of indiscriminate force but harms those least able to survive being screwed.
Now, if we could do this without demos catching on...wouldn't that be a pisser! "we will not fund your wall Mr President"..."Oh, too late, it's already build!" then send them some solarcaine for their case of the red ass...
Defund DC.
That is the only possible solution.
It is just about how Welfare work now.
I'd probably, at least, like my name on it, somewhere.
It is good that Trump is continuing to fight without backing down, at least so far, but his jumbled goals and slogans also include bad criteria like economic protectionism. The result is an anti-intellectual zoo that buries rational discussion of the proper principles and policies for an orderly implementation of the right to immigrate without threatening us with more welfare statism.
(An Analogy)
What we need to do that is FAR more important is to stop the flow of all the Governmental monies. Stop the redistribution of wealth from those that produce to those that do not. They see all those "free" (well free to the looters) benefits and they want to live a life of leisure at our (the producers) expense.
If it's all but impossible to achieve an end to foreign aid welfare in the foreseeable future (not forever) then it's not a practical solution as a source of money for anything, let alone a border wall. And even with money not diverted to Mexico, with the current welfare magnet and the ongoing threat of an 'invasion by invitation' to help enact socialism here, they would still come. Regardless of saving money not sent to Mexico, Congress would still have to appropriate funding for a wall before it could be built, and more importantly, enact rational immigration laws to make a wall meaningful. Money no longer going to Mexico would not be enough for that to happen since collectivism, not money, is why the immigration problem is not being addressed.
I personally believe that we should end ALL forms of welfare. Both internally and externally. That would free up significant revenue and end the incentive to come for many of those who ride the system presently.
But there may very well ultimately be a civil war. Ayn Rand thought that it might come as a sense of life revolt against the intellectuals imposing collectivism, which would result in either civil war or dictatorship. Today it seems more likely to come (not now, but sometime in the future) as a senseless breakdown -- either from the left seeking more power, or from whatever is left of the 'right' opposing the practice of some form of statism but not knowing what to support and with no good principles behind it, leaving no "side" worthy of support.
As to whether or not this comes to a Civil war. I believe that we are basically in a cold civil war right now. I also do not believe that there is any hope of our side winning in a cold civil war. The other sides rhetoric is to loud and their systems are to entrenched. And while I do not wish for the bloodshed that I firmly believe will be necessary to turn things around. I also know that our side isn't ready as yet. We have not gelled together into a cohesive group. Too many on the Right think that the Left is only a little out of line and are willing to compromise in order to avoid violence. Too many feel that the Left is wrong but not about things that affect them so they do not care. Too many are just to darn passive. Not sure what it is going to take to get our side "Woke" but until it happens we will be forced to endure ever worsening violations of our rights.
From what I understand so far, all debt may very well be wiped out, "IF" and "When" the financial system, [the fed] is restructured and the dollar rebooted and backed by gold once again.
If Trumpet pulls that off?...it would be historic!

PS...donations were up to 5 million when I donated.
If they come legally, become American, speak English and were self sufficient there would be no problem.
Where are you that students can attend public schools without paying taxes? In many states the local public schools are paid for with property taxes, with some state subsidies. In the northeast about 2/3 of property taxes go to the local government school system. Attending the local school requires residency in the town or city. Residents who rent have a landlord who pays the taxes. Property owners are being bilked, mostly for redistribution to legal citizens and the teachers' union, with little left over for police and fire protection.
