"U.S. customs officials must have a reasonable justification before snatching your laptop at the border and scanning through all your files for incriminating data, a federal appeals court ruled today."

WASHINGTON - President-elect made many sweeping promises on his way to victory on Election Day. After he takes the oath of office on Jan. 20, here are five of the most difficult and five of the easiest promises to keep: THE DIFFICULT ONES Prevent American companies from moving jobs to other countries.

Donald Trump promises some crazy ideas, such as the wall. I don't believe that Trump will ever be able to accomplish that, he MIGHT be able to improve border control, but he cant build a wall.

I agree with Deven because anybody could've come up with that idea. Everybody who is on Trump's side thinks it's a good idea because trump came up with it, but if Hilary were to come up with this idea, those people would think it's stupid. Anybody could've come up with that. There are better ideas and all he thought of was a wall.

Builders take note: The Trump administration is now soliciting design proposals and prototypes for a roughly 2,000-mile-long wall along the border with Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection published two requests for proposals late Friday, which included the specifications it expects for an American-Mexican barrier meant to deliver on President Donald Trump's promise to build a "big, beautiful wall."

President Trump's discretionary budget plan set to be released Thursday reportedly includes a request for $2.6 billion in funding to begin planning and building a "physical wall" along the border with Mexico along with security funding. The Wall Street Journal reported that Tump will ask Congress for billions in new spending to be earmarked ofr immigration enforcement.

I don't think Trump actually thought about what would need to happen to make his precious wall when he was campaigning. I think he was more focused on getting the position and making everything sound good and now that it's time to step up to the plate HE created, he's trying to find anyway to get the money needed to fill said plate. He wants to cut so many programs and he expects others to pay and he just has his expectation bar to high. The border wall he wants to make would take $21 billion dollars! That's a lot of money to raise and I just can't help but think, what are the consequences of the actions he's willing to take to make that money appear.

Who is going to pay for the wall?

"The plan would add billions for the Pentagon and border security but would not provide any money for President Donald Trump's promised border wall with Mexico,"

PHOENIX - Seeking to end confusion over his aggressive but recently muddled language on immigration, Donald Trump vowed Wednesday to remove millions of people living in the country illegally if he becomes president, warning that failure to do so would jeopardize the "well-being of the American people."

Trump said "We agreed on the importance of ending the illegal flow of drugs, cash, guns and people across our border and to put the cartels out of business," not all Hispanics bring drugs, cash, and guns across the border. Some come to America to get away from their country because we have more freedom. Kicking all of them out just doesn't seem fair. Also making Mexico pay for the wall isn't fair either. If America wants the wall then they should pay for it. When you go shopping and you want a shirt you don't make your friend or the cashier pay for it.

"We agreed on the importance of ending the illegal flow of drugs, cash, guns and people across our border and to put the cartels out of business," (Trump). He acts and speaks as if every single foreigner brings trouble when they come, and he's wrong. Yes, there are those that cause trouble with guns, drugs, and money- but not every single one of them. He wants to deport all of foreigners who have "overstayed" their visa, even if they have caused no trouble or harm whatsoever.

President Trump and White House officials pressed congressional Republicans on Sunday to use the looming threat of a government shutdown to win funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a top priority for the administration as it nears the symbolic 100-day mark.

Crazy how there are tunnels to get into the U.S.

"Donald Trump is traveling to Mexico Wednesday to meet with the country's president just hours before he is set to deliver a speech focused on immigration policy."

After reading about this topic, to me it seems like Trump is playing the election "game" better than Hilary as he has continuous spot light. For instance he has many times said that he would build this great wall. Often enough though as trump says this, the Mexican President has rebutted that Mexico will not build the wall or will not pay for the building either.

Donald Trump flew into a nation he has constantly berated during his campaign to meet President Enrique Peña Nieto and said they discussed a wall Trump has vowed to build on the US southern border, but not his demand that Mexico pay for it -- an assertion the Mexican president later disputed.

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has insisted Mexico will pay for a border wall "100%", in a major immigration speech. He told a rally in Arizona that he would secure the US borders and millions of undocumented immigrants could be subject to deportation.

How dumb can Trump be? How does he expect Mexico to pay for a wall that could potentially cost them billions?

I agree with Ayin and Lauren. Trump can't make Mexico pay for the Wall and if I was Mexico I wouldn't be paying for it anyways. It's not like they helping the illegal immigrants from jumping the border. They are trying to prevent it just as much as the United States is. If he wants the wall so badly then he can build it himself.

Making Mexico pay for the the wall is literally going to your neighbors house with your cable bill and asking them to pay for it, they're not going to do it. It's going to cost Americans to put up this wall, and if Trump wants it to be so big and great the more it's going to cost.

Trump outlined the steps his administration would undertake to compel Mexico to pay the U.S. "$5-10 billion" to fund a border wall in a memo his campaign released Tuesday morning -- a plan that relies largely on threatening to bar undocumented Mexican immigrants in the United States from wiring money to relatives in Mexico. -I think that Trump is basically blackmailing Mexico to pay for the wall between the two countries. I also really don't like that he said that him and his supporters have a moral high ground advantage because that is not true. In order to have a moral high ground advantage that would require you to have moral respect and several people, including myself, think his presidential promises and credentials are immoral.

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to schedule a vote Friday to begin debate on the House-passed CR, which includes the $5 billion for the border wall."

"the Albuquerque, New Mexico, resident said she's reluctant to take part in Cinco de Mayo festivities this year as President Donald Trump steps up federal immigration enforcement and supporters back his call for the building of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border."

"Our country has enough difficulty right now without letting the Syrians pour in," Trump said on The Green Line. Trump also suggested ISIS is paying for refugees' cell phone plans. "They all have cell phones so they don't have money, they don't have anything, they have cell phones," Trump said.

I think there is a possibility that Trump is right. We could be letting people in that are terrorists. It is a problem that we can not keep track of the refugees and we have no way to know if they are working for ISIS or not. There has to be a way that we protect ourselves. If we can not protect ourselves at home we will not be able to help other countries.

MEXICO CITY - Mexicans responded angrily to what they saw as a weak performance by President Enrique Peña Nieto, who appeared to let Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump emerge unscathed from a meeting Wednesday. Peña Nieto tried gamely to take the high road and avoid arguing with Trump, who didn't waver an inch in his plans to build a wall along the two countries' border.

And the other highlights from his speech: * Mr. Trump made the case that Washington elites and the media have put the focus, wrongly, on the plight of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, rather than the Americans impacted by their presence.

In the trip Trump and the president of Mexico sat in the conference room and talked about the wall that is going to be built on the Southern border of the US but, claimed by Enrique the president of Mexico he sates that Trump told him that Mexico was going to pay for the wall and move all 11 million undocumented migrants back into Mexico..

President Donald Trump is following through with one of the first pledges he made a year and a half ago when he announced his long-shot bid for the White House -- directing federal resources toward building a wall along the southern border.

"What do Mexicans say about Donald Trump's wall announcement?"

The wall can stop illegal immigration, but the approach to it by the US isn't the right way to go after it. Mexican newspapers are asking the Mexican president to cancel his white house visit due to the wall.

Would help to control the immigration and also that the people here and who want to work have more possibilities of work and more help and that many of the immigrants take advantage of the aid that gives the government and although others if working strongly and cleanly They involve and thus that way they all look that way

Donald Trump is doing what he promised, but is that a good thing?

That's the reason why people voted for him, he is a man of his word that's what us the people wanted.

He's doing what he promised, if someone didn't support him it's most likely not too good in their opinion, but he won promising things. It's a good thing to have a president doing what he promised, even if someone doesn't agree with it all.
