1. Universal health care (long term savings helps pay for the wall)
2. A quick path to citizenship for undocumented individuals who came to this country as children
3. A longer path to citizenship--which includes a short term higher tax rate--for undocumented individuals who came here as adults and have no violent or drug related felonies
4. Campaign finance reform
5. A reproductive act bill that allows women the right to birth control
6. A national marriage Equality act
7. A national right to vote act

If we get all that, then fine, we will build the wall.
