Mexico CAN'T pay for it.  $15 billion would bankrupt that backwards, god forsaken country.

I am OK with spending taxpayer money on GOOD, POSITIVE projects.  A wall is a positive project.

I am NOT OK with giving taxpayer money to foreigners who are here illegally, and have no business being here.  I am NOT OK with spending taxpayer money on the murder of babies.  I am NOT OK with giving taxpayer money to muslime terrorists.  I am NOT OK with an ever growing number of unemployed people who have to take taxpayer money to survive.  All of those are Obama's misdeeds.

Simple.....tell 'em the US can do $50 Billion$ in business with them, provided they provide 15 billion towards the wall.
net gain is $35 billion. Or the US can do 10 Billion in business, net gain is 10 Billion. How long will that beaner be president?

My business when i ran it, was always a two way street. good for the customer, good for me. anytime a customer thought he was slick enough to make it a one-way street, he found himself at the far end of it, off in the weeds someplace.

El Chapo could pay for it...

Mexico got about $750M in foreign aid from the United States last year. If we cut that by 50% every year, and add a 25% surcharge fro all products shipped from Mexico to the US, how long will it take to pay for the wall?

not long, but your way would take longer than my way, and mexico may not elect a president that would be more accommodating
your way that my way.

Trump thinks he's got the hand to win the pot. But Mexico has some cards to play too. Heard about this on the radio today....haven't researched it yet, but.....There is apparently an Obama era agreement and joint effort with Mexico to stem illegal immigration into Mexico across their southern border. Since none of those folks are heading for Mexico City, it was a program designed to stop them heading thru Mexico to the US. If Trump says, "F-U Mexico", Mexico says, "Ole" to all the Central and South Americans heading north. Hell, they might even buy their train tickets to the northern border to get them out of Mexico faster.

A lot of that money may have been used to interdict Central and South Americans at the southern Mexican border and turn them away. Cut that funding and what happens?

I don't know how much foreign aid Mexico gets...but then, I'm sure the wall won't be built all at once, and the $15bb won't be needed all at once...but X amount of $$ taken from that check to Mexico, over time can certainly add up to $15 billion...

that's called a seven/deuce off suit. If he wants to open his southern borders and flood his country with folks he thinks he can dump in the US......He might hold off on going "all-in" before the turn and river cards are played.

the american people would be more than happy to pay for the wall then, and allow nothing to move across it....a western hemisphere DMZ.

Since Mexico has failed in trying to close their southern border, it appears another one of Obama's great ideas was nothing but FAIL.  What could America do to help the beaners but send them money?  I wonder where that money has REALLY gone.
Oh that's right.............   Mexico is using American money to buy tickets north through Mexico!!

Thanks, Obama!!!

For years Mexico has been giving the Central American refugees some food and money, and maps of safe border crossings, and loading them onto trains to the northern border. They have deported a few, but many thousands still make it to the US with help from the Mexican government. Do you think all those "unaccompanied minors" got to the border on their own?
