He also got his votes from rural areas... And he is fighting with China, who buys over 1/5th from US aggro exports.
And it's a buyer you simply can't replace. And they can get their food from somewhere else.
So this is good, I want to see this people suffer for their choice. It's only fair.
I'd not invest in the soybeans US market for a while, peeps.

Senate Republicans don’t sound too eager to pay for Trump’s wall
Republicans “bluntly told CNN they'd likely vote against any Trump plan that is not fully offset with spending cuts” while also noting some gentle substantive objections from some members of the caucus.
The most noteworthy of the objectors is Senator John Cornyn of Texas, both because he is the number two Republican in the Senate, and also because he’s from Texas — right on the border.
"I don't think we're just going to be able to solve border security with a physical barrier,” he told Raju, “because people can come under, around it and through it."
Texas doesn’t want the wall
Will Hurd (R-TX) who represents far-and-away the largest swathe of currently unwalled border — from the outskirts of El Paso down almost to the other end of the stat has been particularly vocal about this, calling it “unnecessary” and “too expensive.” He has separately referred to it as “wasting hard-earned taxpayer dollars.”
Any feasible construction project is going to need to be straighter than the actual border, which is going to mean using the federal government’s eminent domain powers to take privately owned land and basically redraw the border.
This has been a flashpoint between Trump and elements of the ideological right in the past, since he’s an enthusiastic proponent of using eminent domain to benefit private economic development projects, which many conservatives regard as uncons utional.
they particularly wouldn’t like it if the government came in to take their land so that the president of the United States could avoid admitting that one of his campaign promises was kind of dumb. Moreover, it’s questionable it even would serve its stated purpose .
when the Texas Tribune surveyed the state’s 38-member congressional delegation it found that none of them wholeheartedly supported the border wall scheme.
Fiscal issues could doom the wall
it’s unlikely red-state Democrats feel particularly pressured to bail Trump out on this, because they can always say that they want what their cons uents voted for: Trump’s promise that Mexico will pay for the wall.
one possibility:
it wouldn’t be very difficult to appropriate some money for some additional wall construction.
That would be enough for Trump to make a visit to a border wall construction site and declare victory —
while Republican senators relieved to have avoided paying $14 billion for a wall would surely be happy to let Trump have the political win.

The wall? Nothing but campaign bait to sucker Trash's ignorant, racist, xenophobic Euro-white nationalists.
Build the Wall!
& build it tall. I don't want those mudslimes climbin' over it & gettin' in here. This is for Americans only. All others KEEP OUT.
You don't share shangrila. You keep it all to ourselves. We must have something pretty sweet for everybody to be sneaking in and getting court ordered in.
Just my 2 cents.
Anyone that's ever driven from Del Rio to Big Bend knows how stupid a physical wall is.
84 Lumber goes all in with that Super Bowl commercial.
Maybe Trump is playin' possum?
I'm all for the wall....but only if I can do some of the work....otherwise, this is pretty dumb.
If Sanctuary Cities on the coast refuse to cooperate, include Walls there as well.
Exclusive - Trump border 'wall' to cost $21.6 billion, take 3.5 years to build: internal report

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-s-home-pricesPresident Donald Trump’s immigration policies threaten to crack a foundation of the American economy: the residential real estate market. Legal and otherwise, immigrants, long a pillar of growth in homebuying, are no longer feeling the warm welcome and optimism necessary for their biggest purchase.
to say nothing of agriculture, construction and hospitality. steroidal enforcement of administrative law could have a serious economic downside.
imagine the EPA or the IRS deputizing local police to enforce environmental regs and tax law.
http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/pl...sh-week-218872“‘I want to make it emphatically clear that neither Mexico’” s government or the Mexican people have any reason to accept provisions that have been unilaterally imposed by one government on the other,’ Mexico’s Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said at a ceremony on Wednesday. ‘We won’t accept it because we don’t have to,’ he added, in an apparent reference to U.S. plans to return illegal migrants to Mexico, regardless of their nationality. Mr. Videgaray’s declaration spelled trouble for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, who a White House official said were sent to ‘talk through the implementation’ of Mr. Trump’s guidelines'
That's cheap and quick.
So much for targeting criminals:
http://www.kvue.com/news/investigati...aids/412797374Do ents show federal agents who conducted a recent immigration enforcement operation in the Austin area arrested more people without criminal convictions than convicted criminals.
ICE do ents obtained by the KVUE Defenders and Austin American-Statesman show 23 of the 51 people detained in the Austin area had criminal convictions, which the other 28 were classified as “non-criminals,” meaning they did not have previous convictions.
The 55 percent of non-criminals arrested in the Austin region is well above the percentage of non-criminals arrested in other cities. In Atlanta and Chicago, around 30 percent of those arrested were “non-criminals,” with the percentage around 5 percent in both Los Angeles and New York.
How many were charged with crimes but hadn't been to court yet?
I don't know. Do you?
Has anyone asked in this thread: what kind of got celebrates the building of a wall?
The wall may be stupid but protecting your borders isn't.
You can't have serious and rational immigration reform without a border.
Anything asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
I have always advocated hammering the employers of illegal aliens and we wouldn't have this issue.
My favorite taco places would probably go out of business though.
Gringo tacos suck. Manteca rules.
I like machacado. damn near impossible to get a good version in ATX,
Machacado is my favorite go to.
Rodeo Jalisco on Wurzbach in SA is the freaking Machacado bomb.
