    Trump threatens it. Do you support shutting down the government until Congress or Mexico pays for the Trump wall?

    Remember...Trump is talking about shutting down the government because the government won't pay for a wall that Trump said Mexico would be paying for.

    We should shut down our government until Mexico pays for the wall. I don't care how long it takes. We'll bring Mexico to its knees. Definitely, believe me.

    If it didn't directly affect real people, I would agree.
    As it is, I disagree. Just knowing some academics (among many others) who could really start missing pay checks. All for fearless leader's psychological problems. Sad!

    That's what you think, you have not considered the shadow government.

    Is it allow for a psychiatrist to exam the POTUS to make sure he is fit to be in office?

    Wait, it's not shut down already? Then why am I not hearing about all the legislation the ruling party has been passing?

    There is some bizarre sentiment here on ClutchFans that pretends that violence in Mexico is not a problem. As though it weren't at historic highs.

    Violence in Mexico is a U.S. problem.
    Violence in Mexico is at 20 year highs.

    This just happened:

    The burying of heads in the ground continues...

    Yes, shutting down the government to build a costly wall that have to be manned to be effective is the way to solve this problem right?

    No one is denying that Mexico has a violence problem.

    Clearly, we need to shutdown the US government until Mexico solves its violence problem. By building a wall, no less.

    The drug gangs in Mexico have money. Those who have money have no problems getting over the wall undetected. They use these newfangled devices called aero-planes.

    Those who have money also no problem moving contraband across the wall undetected. They just tunnel underneath the wall.
