Donald Trump: Mexico Will Pay for the Wall and ‘They’re Going to Enjoy It’

President Donald Trump repeated his promise to make Mexico pay for the wall on the Southern Border, explaining that he would get the funding from renegotiating NAFTA.

“I don’t want to cause a problem, but in the end, Mexico is going to pay for the wall, I’m just telling you … they’re going to pay for the wall and they’re going to enjoy it, okay?” he said.

Trump slammed Mexico for doing nothing to stop the flow of illegal immigrants from South American countries traveling through their country, even though they enjoy a $100 billion annual trade deficit with the United States.

“They make all of this money and they do absolutely nothing to stop people from going through Mexico from Honduras and all these other countries,” Trump said.

Charge Mexico for each illegal alien that crosses the boarder into the US. Make the penalty fair. No Blue Light Specials for volume and reflect the actual cost of detainment, food, clothing, medical etc. Collection of this debt should be made monthly and, if not paid, invoke a minimum trade of goods that are essential to Mexico until paid in full including interest.

You don't seem to understand something very basin about the US government:

It does NOT work for or represent you and me.

It works for the international bankers.
Period.
Bought and Paid for.

Sounds good to me. In 2016 $69 billion dollars left the US. Of that $69 billion 40 percent of it went to Mexico. The average amount they send is $300 dollars...14 times a year. Meanwhile the taxpayers are paying to feed, house and educate the anchor babies they should be supporting instead of sending the money elsewhere.
