The President sold himself as an unparalleled builder and a master dealmaker who would build the best wall and Mexico would pay for it.
Now taxpayers are paying for the wall, and it's falling into Mexico.

Four toddlers were so severely ill and neglected at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, that lawyers forced the government to hospitalize them last week.
The children, all under age 3 with teenage mothers or guardians, were feverish, coughing, vomiting and had diarrhea, immigration attorneys told HuffPost on Friday. Some of the toddlers and infants were refusing to eat or drink. One 2-year-old’s eyes were rolled back in her head, and she was “completely unresponsive” and limp, according to Toby Gialluca, a Florida-based attorney.

The Associated Press reported this week that children in border facilities don’t have adequate access to food, water, soap or showers. On Tuesday, a Justice Department attorney argued in court that the government should not have to provide detained children with soap, toothbrushes or beds.

Important context as Pres Trump tours Arizona & boasts about building hundreds
of miles of wall: Trump has added *3 miles* of new barrier
where no barrier existed before he took office.
It’s taken 3.5 years & about $15 billion to replace
about 180 miles of outdated fencing.

Mexico's situation on their south border is a **** show. Completely endorsed by the US long before Trump got here.
