[It is an idea based on ignorance and has no foundation in the reality of North American integration.]

BUILD THE WALL A FOOT HIGHER.

[Jim Robinson]

Good fences make good neighbors.

[Russ]

Stick a tariff on all produce coming into the country from Mexico. Wall paid for...

[ConservativeDude]

You know....I think I’d even be ok paying for it ourselves. (I guess around here that makes me at least a moderate...maybe a liberal! LOL!).

But we gotta have the wall.

Go Trump!

[stephenjohnbanker]

everytime they bitch, add another foot.

[Little Pig]

I wonder if the Mex government will provide material support to migrant groups to physically undermine or build tunnels under the Trump wall.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yes you will, Pedro. And you’ll beg to do it.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Put a moat filled with alligators in front of the wall.

[Sooth2222]

Don’t we send Mexico over half a billion $ in foreign aid every year? Times 8 years $4 billion — I’d think you could build a wall with that.

[Newbomb Turk]

Actually we will pay for it with the 760 million we spend every year in foreign aid to Mexico !

Same thing !

Kiss our A$$ Mexico !

There is no way Mexico would fund Donald Trump's "terrible" plan to build a wall along its border with the United States if the Republican front-runner wins the U.S. presidential election, the Mexican finance minister said.

Why not--you already paid for the wall along your southern border with Guatemala!

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Sorry, Mexico.. Here are some ideas for paying for the wall:

a) Balance the current trade imbalance

b) Tax remittance payments to Mexico (Remittance payments are Mexico's #1 source of revenue, +$20 BILLION/year)

c) Bill Mexico for costs incurred to house illegal alien prisoners

d) Fine employers who hire illegals

e) Tax American products made in Mexico for export to USA

f) STOP entitlements being paid to ILLEGAL ALIENS (YUUGE COST SAVINGS!!)

[Las Vegas Ron]

25% tax on moneys shipped out of the US to Mehico too.

Would also serve as an impetus for the illegals to leave and go home.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

HA! HA! HA! Build the wall amigo!

[Hugin]

Put a 20% tariff on all cash transfers to Mexico.

[EnglishOnly]

I’m looking for a massive Tariff to be imposed by President Trump on each and every product or service that is made or grown or comes from Mexico.

Ford, Carrier , and all the rest will absolutely RUE the day they moved their plant(s) to Mexico.

Adios to NAFTA! Enjoy finding a market to sell your junk Senior’s.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Put a moat filled with alligators in front of the wall.

I remember a joke email going around after Katrina that we should build a canal between the Gulf and the Pacific ocean.

We could use all of the dirt from digging it to fill in NOLA and bring it up above sea level.

Some one brought up the point it would displace a lot of Alligators which of course could be relocated to the canal!!

Not really a half bad idea, the canal would come in handy as well as serve as a secure border (moat filled with alligators)

Amen

Duplicate the Great Wall of China and charge tourist to visit it.
