And Trump is going to get Congress, the Democrats and the Establishment that WANTS open borders and Amnesty to agree to tax and impose tariffs on Mexico to pay for Trumps wall?

Or do you expect Trump to simply decree a wall built and contractors make it so after the DOJ sued states to prevent them to enforce laws that are now suspended?

And what happened to the 1.2 billion in funds appropriated in the 2006 Secure Border Act that Congress passed??

What concrete viable steps does Trump have to ensure that his wall will get built beyond his mere words should Congress actually pass another build-a-wall bill?

Trump hasn't consulted with me on his plan but from his vague comments I can make a fair guess what he has in mind.

A big part of Mexico's GDP comes from money sent back home by immigrants, legal or otherwise, from the United States.

Using some pretext Trump could suspend these wire transfers and cause a massive depression in Mexico. Within an hour the Mexican president would be on the phone begging Trump to unblock payments. Trump would agree to do it on one condition.

Yeah, you got it. Pay for the wall. No problemo.
