Let me guess. That certain number was...$8 million?
Even if Mexico doesn’t pay for it, contrast that $8 billion against the cost of government benefits for illegals. Just today, we read the story that $750 million was paid in illegal Obamacare benefits to illegals. Add food, education, medical, Obamaphones, subsidized housing, incarceration, etc.
A bargain! $8 billion is an absolute bargain!
$8 Billion ONE TIME COST is a mere 16% of what we lose to Mexico EVERY YEAR. Peanuts. And yes Mexico will pay for it or else lose the trade surplus they enjoy with us.
TRUMP !
It’ll be done early and under budget.
"The cost of building a permanent border wall pales mightily in comparison to what American taxpayers spend every single year on dealing with the fallout of illegal immigration on their communities, schools and unemployment offices.
Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages;
increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats
(and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards...of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays);
increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays);
and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options].
We will not be taken advantage of anymore."Donald Trump
Saw this being discussed on CNN this afternoon.
They said, “$8 billion is just of fraction of the cost to deport those already here, and Paul Ryan won’t give Trump the money for that.”
Funny that they took the next step and brought RINO Ryan into it.
This wall will be a money maker in cost savings of incarceration of illegals and stopping the drug trade.
It will be a total money maker.
Do it!
Mexican leadership mocked Trump yesterday saying Mexicans would rather stay there for the jobs from Ford.
Guess what? The Wall will not allow our jobs to be sent south either!
Trump ‘16!
Build the wall in Mexico and take as much of their land as needed to build a contiguous wall.
Take all the ill gotten gains from all the illegal beans in the U.S.
Deport 1st 2nd and 3rd generation illegal beans....Let Mexico house, clothe and educate these scumbags.
While we're at it, kick out all the demoncrats and repukes that enabled this invasion for the past 40 years. Dig up Teddy Kennedy and send him to Juarez.
That’s a bargain .
Y’all seen this yet?
Prescient Trump- Hidden Report: Mexican Remittances Total More Than Entire Mexican Oil Revenue. . .
excerpt:
“(Mexico) Remittances sent home by Mexicans working outside the country surpassed petroleum revenues in 2015 for the first time. There was a 4.75% increase in money sent from abroad, most of which comes from the U.S., to total US $24.8 billion last year, up from $23.6 billion in 2014, said the Bank of México.
The bank said it was the first time remittances had totaled more than petroleum revenues since it began tracking them in 1995. Oil revenues last year totaled $23.4 billion.
An important factor in the increase in remittances is the jobs created by economic recovery in the U.S. Some 11 million Mexicans are believed to be living in the U.S. and many work in construction. Remittances, 97% of which are sent electronically, averaged $292 last year. (link)”
My add: And this is just remittances back to Mexico. Add up what H1Bs & muslims are sending home, too
Is it any wonder the country is just about flat broke?
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. ON TIME & UNDER BUDGET!!
GO TRUMP GO!!
Stop the outrage posted below and then eliminate all welfare costs to any illegal in America, and the wall will be paid for.
Obamacare Immigrants: $750 Million In Subsidies Paid To 500,000 Ineligible Immigrants (REPORT)

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, has paid out more than $750 million in taxpayer subsidies to more than half a million illegal immigrants and immigrants whose legal status was not verified, according to a new Senate report seen by Fox News.
As of June 2015, “the Administration awarded approximately $750 million in tax credits on behalf of individuals who were later determined to be ineligible because they failed to verify their citizenship, status as a national, or legal presence,” said the report from Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, reported Fox News.
The report found that taxpayers helped pay for health insurance for more than 500,000 people who were either illegal immigrants or had failed to verify their citizenship or immigration status. The $750 million in questionable payments divided by the approximately 500,000 recipients comes to about $1,600 in premium tax credits per person, notes Breitbart.

Also charge 25% for each money order/wire transfer going to Mexico. 15% for the state where the money was made, and 10% to pay for the wall.
Stop all foreign going to Mexico to help pay for the wall.
Every day the federal government spends $4 billion. So TWO DAYS worth of spending will do it?! Makes me even ANGRIER that the damn thing hasn’t been built!!
...and, this project is actually shovel ready, approved in the 1980’s
What’s the point of building a wall if he’s going to expedite letting them back in?
On time and under Budget I assume.
How much do we spend every year supporting and managing illegal invaders?
Mexico, get out your checkbook.
