So much for Mexico paying for the wall. Instead of cutting FEMA to pay for the wall, how about fining the price gougers taking advantage of the victims of Hurricane Harvey

Over the last ten years, our country has been hit by three major hurricanes: Katrina, Sandy, and now Harvey. The last thing the Presidents people should be doing is cutting the FEMA budget in order to help pay for the southern border wall. Who should pay for it is the price gougers who are victimizing the desperate through higher gas and water prices in the areas hit hardest by the recent hurricane. A message should be sent to these vermin that their attempts to make a quick buck by feeding on people who have been temporarily knocked down. They should be prosecuted, imprisoned, and fined with the proceeds going to the wall while FEMA resources should go to helping people overcome the tragedies they are a part of. And if you want to take the fines from these individuals and use it to help the people affected by the hurricane, just cut back on one or two fighter jets at the Defense Department. That should be enough to build a southern and northern border wall.
