Every time this peasant complains make the wall one foot higher President Trump. Pay for it?

Fee on every imaginable way to transfer money back to Mexico. If not already, boarder crossing fee for every car or pedestrian. Both coming and going.

Enrique is too stupid to be president of mexico. Mexico will pay for the wall one way or another and through her negligent administrations, she has left herself open to many paths of exploitation.

Instead have them line up for boxes of food, cheese, pasta, flour, tuna, paper products, fresh locally-grown produce. That’s how it used to be done.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Probably could even afford to deliver it....keep as many off the road as possible if they continue to drive without insurance etc.

Give them the SHOVEL READY components of good, nutritious, fresh meals

OR EVEN BETTER, let them grow there own. That is the ‘main reason’ they are here right? To subsidize agriculture & Farmers....

Every month he refuses, dump another 500,000 of his illegals into his country, and ratchet up the tariffs.

We will build it, and you will pay for it....

Trump has these guys jumping like trained monkeys.

I don’t think he realizes that he already is starting to pay for it. And in the years to come, he will be paying far and away above the actual construction costs.

Of course they will. We can start by slapping a surcharge on wire transfers to Mexico.

As soon as Trump starts building the wall and immediately stops ALL visits, all money transfers being sent to Mexico, and slaps a 35% tax on all incoming goods from Mexico, El Senior Pena Neito will get out the check book and write the check. Mexico WILL pay for the wall, NEVER threaten Trump.

He’ll change his attitude when illegals get sent back to Mexiaco one way or another https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Catapult_1_Mercato_San_Severino.jpg :)

Mexico WILL pay for the wall. The simpletons out there holler that Mexico will never cut a check for the wall and mail it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Of course it will never happen that way.

But Mexico will in some form, likely in several ways, fund the wall and then some. Just the fact that we won’t be continuing to absorb millions of illegals will save us many billions more than it would take to build the wall.

Enrique Piñata will just have to get used to the idea... The wall is going up, and Mexico will pay for it, one way or another.

We’ll see, won’t we?

The fact is this: the welfare payments NOT PAID for illegal aliens healthcare, law enforcement, etc. WILL PAY FOR THE WALL.

When Trump says “Hundred percent,” does he mean they will pay the complete cost of the wall or for sure, absolutely they will pay something? I believe he means absolutely, positively.

The elites of the world have not had to be diplomatic, strategic, tactical thinkers for so long now that they are quite capable of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The rape of the great middle class is ending but stupid self servers are in charge and they CAN’T see what is before their eyes.
