Donald Trump plans to begin the process of constructing a wall on the southern border in March, sources familiar with the president-elects transition team told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The transition team is planning big spending negotiations with Congress at that time, which will include money for the wall a platform on which Trump built his campaign for the presidency. He plans to make Mexico pay for the wall directly or indirectly by increasing fees on visas and border crossing cards, enforcing trade tariffs and taxing money transfers abroad.
Trump has said the wall, which will be at least 35 to 50 feet high and made of pre-cast concrete, would cost anywhere from $8 billion to $12 billion.

Try and use your PayPal account to transfer some money to Iran and I’m sure you’ll encounter a few problems.
Most Mexicans use the service desk at Walmart to send money home. The Feds have a TON of leverage over Walmart.
I say that haven't been paying attention... Not only doable, but **done** in many areas of the world.

What a beautiful picture. Walls make the BEST neighbors.
“I believe there is already legislation (funding) to do this, they just need to do it.”
The Secure Fence Act of 2007 was passed, but the traitors in congress defunded it.
Do they need volunteers? I can lay some bricks, and I’ve got plenty of vacation time saved up :)
“Trump has said the wall, which will be at least 35 to 50 feet high and made of pre-cast concrete, would cost anywhere from $8 billion to $12 billion.”
Already funded.
Go, Trump, GO!!
$12 Billion is less than the annual remittances from Mexicans to Mexico in one year. Confiscate and deport; and no tax money will be needed for the wall (in whatever form it takes).
And on that point, it is a simplification to say we're 'building a wall'. The barrier will need to be tailored to the terrain and location. No wall in the Rio Grand River, for example. I'm sure there are other barriers planned for that stretch of the border.
In certain border states he could probably get volunteer labor to help defray the cost of construction - at least until about April.
Yeahhhhhhhh!
God bless him.
Thanks, I thought I remembered something about that.
“That money will be recovered quickly from reduced costs”
That is exactly right! It should be looked at and talked about as a revenue enhancement project rather than an expense.
Hillary was planning #100,000,000,000 to help third world countries cope with climate change ANNUALLY!!!!!!!
BUILD IT!
TRUMP should make a deal with Mexico that they pay for half the cost of the wall! Agree quickly or we’ll make you pay for all of it! LOL
Billions have been appropriated already.

We spend more than that on their kids’ free lunches.
