hi robert again,
yes, of course it is. our last President, that Obama guy, spent 18 billion on border security. the Democrats as whole had a track record of being pretty gung ho on border security spending.
but President Trump didn't say that Mexico was going to spend north of 20 billion on border security, he has been claiming that Mexico would pay for the wall.
for folks following the topic, i'd pretty much thought that this was common knowledge.
so yes, we both are admitting that this is true.
i get that you don't care who pays for it. that's been pretty well established. i was only noting that the POTUS has been claiming - for years now - that Mexico would bear this 20+ billion dollar burden.

Securing the border is about more than a wall.

Mexico has made significant contributions to that, as you’ve admitted.

I’m totally ok with that. I’d be totally ok if they didn’t. Because a secure border is worth our tax dollars. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of illegal immigration.
