The wall is dependant on a promise that the President seemingly can not keep. He promised over and over that Mexico would pay for the wall.

So far, not a Mexican dime has been offered nor collected.

If he collects some Mexican money he can build some wall.

He never claimed that Mexico would pay up front for the wall.

Most of understood perfectly well that the US would pay for construction and that Mexico would reimburse us over time.

Build the wall now, establish control of the border, and tax remittances. Mexico will pay, sooner or later.

He stipulated that payment would be in some form, such as a tax on imports. He never maintained that the Mexicans must hand over a check, like the skit on SNL.

However, most of us just want a wall. The savings from keeping out illegals would pay for the wall fairly quickly.

In 8 years or less Trump will get the wall.

Folks don't get it.

The money that is now SENT TO Mexico from Illegals here; will not longer be sent.

It stays here.

THAT is what pays for the wall.
