So, we have many ways to get the money for the wall. But for me I see an easy way for the first Billion dollars. Take the $135 million each year in aid and instead use it to fund the wall. Then charge remitances 20%. And slap tariffs on goods US manufactures left USA and set up shop in Mexico to produce, leaving millions of UE American workers

Vincente Fox you will pay for the F****** wall

Take the $135 million each year in aid and instead use it to fund the wall.

Then how is that Mexico paying for the wall?

34 billion worldwide. Amazing

Vincente Fox you will pay for the F****** wall

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You do know of course that Vincente Fox is not the president of Mexico.

Never was.

Perhaps you meant Vicente Fox. He used to be el Presidente. But not any more.

I wonder how many miles of wall per year we can build with that $135M. I hope we are about to find out.

Yeah, no more “aid” for mexico. There’s no reason to give them any money, regardless of whatever the bleeding heart leftist democrats and cheap labor republicans say.

Let them pay for their own failed nation.

We owe them nothing. They’ve been nothing but a pain in our ass since their very inception.

Obama administration gives $500m to UN climate change fund This is the second 1/2 billion of our money he's given them is less than a year, and it goes to muzzy countries.

 "Barack Obama has heeded calls to help secure the future of the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m instalment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office. The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming “well below” 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table.…... "

They have oil out the wazoo and they need our $$$ because the corruption in Mexico is so bad they can’t get anything done...................

“America giving Mexico $135 million “

Is that North America, South America or the U.S.A.?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Why? Their entire poor population lives here.

[bgill]

No more catch and release. Catch and immediately put them on wall building duty. Of course, BP and army would need to be well armed.

Just add $135 million to the tab for the wall. For all that Mexico has “done” to this country, we need to make the bastards pay dearly. Personally, I think Mexico needs a good civil war that culminates with the the execution of all the Castillian Spaniards there. They have controlled that crap hole "country" since it's inception and Mexico will never amount to anything until they are all gone one way or another. And they also should round up Carlos Slim and take every dime he has. He is the personification of all that is wrong with Mexico.

IMO - it is proper to give some assistance to some nations. But, there needs to be a criteria used in determining whether a nation is eligible. For instance if a country is a sworn enemy of the USA, no money. Also countries who are not stated enemies but act against the USA’s best interests, no money. You get the idea - use a criteria!!

[Rockingham]

Arguably, a small portion of this aid is directly useful to America’s interest in trying to prop up Mexico, which is on the brink of failure as a nation-state. Most other projects seem to be nothing but liberal dogooderism.

From the linky...

“Mexico continues to be a strong partner of the initiatives that complement the United States’ programs to address the root causes of unlawful migration from Central America.”
