This wall that the President promised voters that Mexico would pay for is now being put on the taxpayers' backs. $1.6 billion can be used for better things. It can pay for thousands of jobs in the U.S. and workforce development programs and apprenticeships. And one other thing: agents protecting our border don't even want it. They do not see themselves as defenders of a wall. Mr. President, please come back to reality. This is not ``Game of Thrones.'' This administration needs to stop demonizing people outside of our borders. We need to fix our immigration system, and we can do it in a humane and pragmatic and effective way, and in a way that will supercharge our economy and actually create American jobs.
