During an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “For the Record,” House Speaker Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) stated that while there are “a lot of different ways of getting Mexico to contribute” to the construction of a border wall, and defining how Mexico pays for it, “we’re going to pay for it, and front the money up,” and stated the cost would be somewhere between $8-14 billion.
Ryan said, “Well, first off, we’re going to pay for it, and front the money up, but I do think that there are various ways, of as you know — I know your follow-up question is, ‘Is Mexico going to pay for the wall?’ There’s a lot of different ways of getting Mexico to contribute to doing this, and there are different ways of defining how exactly they pay for it. Point is, he has a promise that he made to the American people, which is to secure our border. A wall is a big part of that. We agree with that goal, and we will be working with him to finance construction of a physical barrier, including the wall, on the southern border.”

Shut up, Paul. You’re not helping.
What happen to the $17 Billion towards a Wall during the Bush W days ?
Can we start a go fund me page? I’m willing to chip in a c note.
I hope the price of getting Ryan to support the wall was not letting DACA continue.
Tax the hell outta remittances to not just Mexico, but to Central and Latin America, Caribbean . .. wherever estimates that illegals come from.
That will also help them to self deport. Why stay here if the profit goes down
Also, let’s start a boycott of Mexico. No products MIM, and certainly no vacations. Plenty of other places to go.
Must be why he is talking.
Don’t you just love how so many on the media are making a big deal of having to appropriate $14 billion for a wall? That’s chump change.
We could contribute, and perhaps have a brick in the wall with our name engraved. :-)
It will pay for itself a hundred times over with the savings on medical, education, and welfare benefits for the illegals.
No, Paul, we, the American People, will front the money.
It isn’t your money, it’s our money.
Your sole purpose as a public servant is to serve us, Paul.
You exist at our pleasure.
So serve us, and do it quietly and quickly.
IOW’s about the same amount of money we spend each and every week just servicing the National Debt.
There is probably that much waste, fraud and abuse in just the Food Stamp Program alone.
Egg-actly! Where is that money? I am guessing the pockets of congress members pals and family.
We could contribute, and perhaps have a brick in the wall with our name engraved. :-)

I would love that!! $100 and your name on a brick.
Yes, considering how much illegal immigration costs us each year.
What was wrong with what he said?
Don’t care what Ryan says as long as the Wall gets built - pronto!
He was basically signaling to the Mexicans that they wouldn’t pay for the wall.
He could actually help if he’d open a branch office in south Texas and move there to oversee construction.
