If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore, because I cannot live with that, Trump continued.,/i>~~~~~~~~~~~~You got that?

Time to take the money from national defense and build the wall.

If Mexico wants to continue to give us attitude then we can always repeat what we did from 1946 to 1848, i.e., take over Mexico through military conquest.

Finally someone in DC is standing up to and not caving in to a Mexican leader. Time for Nieto to start fixing that dump of a country on his own!

A 10-mile buffer zone would “pay” for the wall, imho.

“1946 to 1848?”
With as many Mexicans in the Southwest as white loyal Americans, I don’t think your suggestion is workable.
To: BuffaloJack
What happened to the idea of taking a percentage of remittances that people send to Mexico?
The USA is a major source of income to Mexico both legal and illegal why would Mexico want that cut off?

A Western Union and other EFT providers which send all the cash to Mexico from the US, enjoying a 10% surcharge would pay for the wall in a month.

Yes! Start taxing the remittances and put it in a “go build me a wall fund”.
Why isn’t POTUS doing this-could be done by an EO?

it is not possible
there is no way to confiscate such funds and if there is an attempt, the numerous other ways to transmit funds internationally will pick up the slack

If you’d read the article you’d know.
“Mexico, Trump has committed, will somehow end up paying for the border wall, whether that comes in the form of taxing remittances to have illegal aliens from Mexico actually pay for the wall or tariffs on imported goods from Mexico.”

The sticking point was not directly about Mexico paying, it was about acknowledging Mexicos position that it wont. I think Trump is probably right to call it off because once you start publicly acknowledging the other sides position you are halfway there to accommodating it.

A tax on imported goods from Mexico won’t be paid by Mexico. It will be paid by Americans buying the goods.
That said I don’t care who pays for it.
Just build the damn thing.

Take money from PBS,NPR, UN, Climate Change rip-offs, and 20% of government workers in DC... and build the Wall. Send Mexico the bill.

The National defense budget is too small. Pay for it out of the illegals share of entitlement money. Solves two problems immediately
