The Mexican government and the citizens of Mexico will pay for that wall, whether they buy it or not.

Mexico may suddenly find they have a HUGE deficit in their balance of payments, without that vast influx of cash being sent home every month to subsidize the peasantry now living on small freeholds all over Mexico. And why do those peasants find themselves on small freeholds? It is because of the land ownership laws in Mexico, which leaves HUGE land grants in the hands of just a few families, dating back to the days of Spain’s colonization of much of what is today Latin America, and the way land title is held there.

These ancestral land grants allows the titular head of the family to bestow a life estate to the head of the peasant household, but the title reverts to the titular head upon the death of the person upon whom the life estate was bestowed. Mexicans being Mexicans, with sometimes very scrambled or casual record keeping, the actual occupancy of the land may go for several generations, but most of these occupants are essentially squatters, subject to be kicked off the land at a moment’s notice.

The Mexican government may have to reform their land grant program to make it possible for these peasants to take and hold a title to the land they occupy as a heritable estate, and allow the title holder to sell, lease or donate the title as they choose. The right to “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness”, as enumerated in the US Declaration of Independence, under “pursuit of happiness”, relates to ownership of property, in this instance to the bundle of rights that is included in holding title to real estate.
