And then he'll send them a bill. I hope they pay it in cocaine

    So he's already downsizing it from a wall to a fence. He really knows how to scare the living tulip out of the drug / illegal immigrant smuggling community.

    He is very happy now, can say that Obama pardoned people who leaked things to hurt Republicans, awesome present.
