How to pay for the wall?? Simple......... Put a .25 cent surcharge tax on all TACO sales.
Not a great idea. We don’t need to invite the government into our lives like that....and ruin some great (and maybe not so great) businesses.
...better yet 5% transfer tax on all monies transfered into MEXICO from the US
Confiscate the thousands of truckloads of used auto and truck parts cores going INTO Mexico.
I’ll be good for a hundred miles of the wall, at least.
I like tacos - hope they don’t tax ground beef, taco seasoning, tomatoes, cheese, onions, taco shells, Tabasco and salsa too....I want Mexico to pay for the wall w/o benefit of my tax dollars.
Just send a bill to Mexico for all the illegal citizens that are here using our schools, hospitals and social welfare systems.
They’ll realize rather than paying such a bill, it would be cheaper to build the wall themselves.
Follow the drug money. But really, want to pay for the wall? Confiscate all the illegal money that was laundered by the Clinton Foundation. That would drive the left wild.
Simple?
More like simply stupid.
use the money currently being given to sanctuary cities ...
I heard Eric Bolling state yesterday that the U.S. purchases 80% of mexico’s export product......We have all the leverage we need. DT knows it, and mexico knows it. There will be only one outcome.
Sorry, FRiend, that really is racist.
Yeah! That’s dumb, not even funny.
“They’ll realize rather than paying such a bill, it would be cheaper to build the wall themselves.”
I’m not wild about them building it.
Reagan let the Soviets build an embassy for us....

All imprisoned illegal immigrants should forced to work on the wall in chain gangs.
Just to get real for a moment. Right now we send money to Mexico to help them fight gangs. Stop that. When you send money abroad to stop something. You can rest assured it will not be stopped. Terrorists don’t stop. Mexican gangs don’t stop. At first you are paying to stop something. But starting in year two you are paying to keep it. If Mexico gets rid of gangs, the money stops. If Egypt gets rid of Terrorists the money stops. If New Orleans fixes their levies they stop getting more money. If school systems educate more kids the teachers unions get less money.
Economics is a tricky thing. Incentives are more complicated than they tell you in Econ 101. If we want to stop gangs in Mexico we need to have a wall so that gangs can’t charge lots of money to move stuff across the boarder. Right now its big business. In fact its so big, that if you try to smuggle things across the boarder, the gangs will stop you and kill you. Its their business and they don’t like competition. That’s why there are so many bodies found around the boarder. The gangs are protecting their turf.
Use the frozen money President Obama sent to Palestine.
“...better yet 5% transfer tax on all monies transfered into MEXICO from the US.”
Yes, exactly!
Here is one way how the wall will be paid for.

President Trump’s plan to make Mexico pay for the wall he intends to build on the southern border may have taken shape Thursday, when his spokesman suggested imposing a 20-percent import tax on Mexican goods.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer mentioned the possibility to reporters on Air Force One Thursday, as relations between Trump and his Mexican counterpart Enrique Pena Nieto spiraled.
“When you look at the plan that’s taking shape now, using comprehensive tax reform as a means to tax imports from countries that we have a trade deficit from, like Mexico,” Spicer said.

How about a “BRICK IN THE WALL” buy a block program? Anyone who wants to donate $25 can have their name or quote placed on the wall (in English or spanish!).
