I have been telling my son this since Trump first made the promise - for just this reason stated here. There is no way Mexico can avoid paying, not with such a huge trade deficit - entirely in their favor.
Frankly they should welcome the chance. BUT, Mexico thinks they are AT WAR with us... Thousands of foreign invaders riding atop box cars through Mexico to our border is AN ACT OF WAR - and I wish Prez Trump would tell them so!
2 ways to pay for the wall:
1. Tax their Western Union payments (of our welfare $) to the people back home in their 3rd world hellhole ~40%
2. All the illegal gangstas and felons - seize their assets immediately and send them over the wall.
They have families? Tough. If they were in Israel, the gov’t would bulldoze their houses.
