I'm wondering if withholding some of the funds from these rogue cities could be kept in escrow to help build the wall? That and confiscation of illegal drug money, and perhaps funds saved from cutting off benefits paid to known illegal immigrants. That might add up to a sizable chunk. True, it would mean that Mexico wouldn't “pay for the wall”, at least not all of it. But better to secure the border first and then subrogate the costs to those who should pay for it.

I’ve wondered the same. If Trump just threatens this, those mayors would come in line OVERNIGHT. There is something about a wall that the left just can’t deal with.
