TRUMP RESPONSE: “I heard the head of Mexico said ‘no way,’ and I said, ‘Now the wall just got taller,†the Republican candidate told “Morning Joe†hosts.
It will and here is how: Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards — of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.

He’s protecting his billions in trade deficit, drug money, plus what he’s saving on taking care of his own people.
Mexicans are such great neighbors, aren’t they? Just like Canadians.
LOL...
TRUMP to Calderon: BS!!
Which will win, rows of Abrams tanks on US soil, or rows of fresh off the assembly line Ford trucks out of the Mexico plants?
So he's not even the current President and thus has no authority, ok, a little misleading as usual when it comes to the anti-Trump posts.
“”If this guy pretends that closing the borders to anywhere either for trade [or] for people is going to provide prosperity to the United State, he is completely crazy.””
Who said anything about PROSPERITY? Who’s the crazy one?
He doesn’t understand ILLEGAL and SECURITY and SAFETY to the citizens of the U.S.? Or he does but cares as much for that as he did when he was Mexico’s president...We don’t need his stinkin’ opinion!
Calderon is terrified that the gig is up.
He and his looter buddies in Polanco have been dumping their problems on us for 4 decades now and using the hissing campaign when anyone tries to stop it.
Trump appears immune to this. They’re in shock.
How about starting a GoFundMe for it? That would be hilarious.
Put a 15% tax on all remittances going out of the country.
The wall will be paid for in two years.
Would he rather have US troops on his border?
Trump and me : The US taxpayer won't pay 'a single cent' for Mexico's stupid rejects...
Annual aid to Mexico is about $210 million. That’d be a decent enough down payment on the border wall, with remittance taxes of 30-50% covering the balance.
So, go f*** yourself, Calderon.
Highly unusual for a Mexican official to say a wall won’t work anyway so don’t build it. /s
Really? Last I checked, the US provides Mexico with a significant amount of foreign aid. That could always be diverted to build a wall instead.
Just eliminate foreign aid to Mexico and the wall will be paid for in a few years.
He has about as much authority in the matter as I do. I actually have more, come to think of it, as I get to vote for the prez that might enact such measures.
Okay, fine, then I suggest President Trump/Cruz/Rubio/Kasish, etc. garnishee the costs from our 971 million foreign aid to Mexico. That’ll work.
