Trump is the master of leverage, if someone could figure out how to do that, he’d probably be that someone. Mexico would be finagled into providing the labor and materials.

Deduct the cost from foreign aid to Mexico.

They didn’t have a fascist EPA requiring a 2 year environmental impact study.

Let’s suspend that crap and the wall will go up quickly!

The same people who believe the wall is impossible have no problem paying $68 Billion for 568 miles of light rail in California....which for some reason is no problem.

A “wall” could consist of an adequate number of border patrol agents empowered to do their job.

Easy peazy rough and sleazy. Just put every illegal caught to work on the wall until done.

No quick return to Meheeko. They work for room and board until the project is done. That includes every man, woman, and child over 17.

Wanna bet in just a few months there will hardly be any need for the wall?

It should still get built though.

True, but they didn’t have the “Chicago Union Thuggery or the FOA (friends of Obama)” to explode the cost!!!

Foreign aid to Mexico is less than $1 billion/year. Good luck with that.

Fund the wall with a lottery for machine gunner positions. I alone will buy 10 tickets.

"Did they conveniently forget about Trump saying that he would make Mexico pay for it?"

He's going to make them pay every peso for that wall.
