Here are the figures. $135 = amount imported from Mexico per year. 5% = amount of tariff. Therefore for the amount collected is 5% of $135B = $6.75B Which is not enough for the wall.

Is it not enough for part of the wall?

6.75 Billion IS enough for the wall. That’s more than Trump was asking of Congress earlier this year. Also, you’re basing your calculations on 5%. 5% is the initial amount. It goes up monthly in 5% increments if a deal is not reached. Also, I’m not sure if the $135B figure is accurate. It may be, but I’ve also seen a figure closer to $280B. That was in the link I sent you earlier.
