Mexico receives more than 50 million in direct foreign aid per year. Indirect total is about twice that. I would say that a 100 million per year installment plan will build a lot of wall.

“Heh heh heh. Adios amigo!”

No, tell him Adios, tu pinche idiota! That’s a much better way to put it.

[There goes US Mexico relations!]

It’s been a USA give give give and a MEXICAN take take take relationship.

We're gonna take back our jobs and slam a huge import fee on anything from mehico. And when the deportations stop, that cash transfer stops.

MAGA

Vicente Fox is NO LONGER PRESIDENT of Mexico. He left office in 2006.

Trump gets along with the current President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto.

It doesn't matter. The moment Trump said Mexico will pay for the wall the debate changed from Can a wall be built:No, to If a wall is built will Mexico pay for it?

Think about it. Three years from now when our border is secure and the Left says Mexico didn't pay for it Trump can smile and shrug his shoulders because the majority of the voters will adore him for building the wall in the first place.

Big talk, hombre. We’ll send millions of your Mestizos back to Mexico and tax all money transfers 33%. You will pay and we will make Billions to build the wall.

They’re already paying. The first installment was Ford.

“But even my suggestion would pay for the wall toot sweet.”

Yes it would. But maybe we should be “magnanimous” and throw in a million condoms to “help them” with their population problem, to "sweeten" the deal.

How much will they pay to bring ANY corporation assembly plant there that sells it products to America?

The people in Mexico are already rioting from lost jobs.

And FWIW, I’d have a program to back track on each and every “remitter” to find out who his employer is and if he’s following the law.

It's so simple, which is of course why our government hasn't been doing it.

I think the wall is more important for keeping drugs out than anything else.

Another thing they could do is change the $100 dollar bills for a completely different design and give people a couple of weeks to trade them out. There is no way the cartels could change out their cash.

Yo Ex-Presidente Fox, you don't have a choice! You're not being ASKED to pay for the wall, you're being told that YOU WILL PAY for the wall, whether you like or not. There are dozens of ways to get the money from Mexico, none of which involves Mexico cutting a check - despite what the idiotic MSM would have people believe.

For starters the US gives $350M in foreign aid to Mexico each year. Let's start by taking that away for 10 years. Boom, one third of the $10B wall paid for. Then let's tax all money transfers $25, let's increase the border crossing fees, let's slap tariffs on Mexican goods entering the country, etc. The US holds the cards here. Oh and we'll take back whatever jobs from you that we can as well. It won't be long before Mexico tries to cut a deal with Trump, bet on it.

Making "amigos" go adios.

I really don't care if Mexico pays for any of it, just so long as it gets built and guarded.
