Trump Explains How Mexico Will Pay For The WALL

[InTheLight]

Well, isn't that special! We're going to pay for the wall by saving money on the new trade deal. What, does he figure the companies that will be earning more money because of more exporting will cough up the new found profits into a "Border Wall Fund?"

Ridiculous.

Again, no government program was ever funded by savings from cuts, identifying waste, identifying fraud. In order to build something like a Border Wall, you need to appropriate actual money.

Stop talking sense. It's proof you're just a hater.

You thought it would be any other way? When it is said replacement windows pay for themselves, what does it mean?

Great articulation Aaron, and funny!

I don't care if we pay for the wall, want a wall to help stem the flow of illegals and drugs. At the same time we should have a regular presence of regular military forces on the border. They could be patrolling in those out of the way desert areas and maybe a few firefights against the cartel smugglers will make them think twice about invading our land.

Exactly. And right now, the USA is paying a terrible price for not having a wall, for poor border security, for chain migration, for millions of illegal aliens, for "sanctuary" cities and states, for anchor babies, etc., etc. etc.

Donald Trump Releases Plan to Make Mexico Pay for Border Wall

You posted in this thread, and supported the idea contained in it, so yeah, I thought just like YOU, I thought there would be another way.

When it is said replacement windows pay for themselves, what does it mean?

Oh, I don't know...

That the window replacement company will come out to your place and install windows for FREE!

The window replacement company will monitor your heating bills before and after the windows were installed. For those months the heating bills were lower than previously, you will put the amount of savings into an escrow account. Every six months you will write them a check for the amount of the savings accumulated in the escrow account. Eventually, after forty years the window company will get fully reimbursed. The windows will have "paid for themselves".

I mean, what window company wouldn't want to do that deal?

Besides correcting the unfair trade with Mexico:

Trump: Mexico will pay "one way or another"...

I heard simply saving the medical costs for immigrants for one year would also pay for the wall.

Then there is the cost of 20,000 ICE agents, the courts and like 2,400 judges.

Wonder how much it costs to house and feed all the (40,000+) illegal immigrant gang members and criminals in our prison system?

The cost of having to move 5,000 troops to the border when a good wall could have done the job? ($72 million, does not mention the $138 million in National Guard costs.)

A while back I made visits to do Medicare paid for physical therapy home health care, which isn’t a cheap service, to an assisted living facility that had 300 nice one bedroom apartments where hardly anyone there even spoke English, it was like being in a foreign country, and makes me wonder how many of those are around while our vets live on the street? (Average costs $3,500 per individual a month) ...so nice we can pay for Mexico's elderly for them.

The nationwide costs to our school system, besides diminishing the quality for our own children? ($116 Billion !! – that alone is the wall x5!)

I'm sure there are many other cases I left out...

So does solving the illegal immigration problem from Mexico pay for the wall "one way or another", ah, YES!

Seems like SOME PEOPLE still need to learn Trumpian speak better…

Virtually nothing gets done by the government without money being appropriated. Certainly a $25 billion dollar project to build a wall on our southern border is not going to be built and then the money "found" somewhere else.

It would be easier if Mexico would build the wall on their side of the border. They would not have the right-of-way issues that we have and it would be a big public works project for them, but I imagine that we will build a northern wall for them on our side and they will build their own southern wall against Guatemala. Mexico desperately wants to stop all the guns and cash flowing south into the hands of the narcotraffickers. Curiously, Alley Oop, Trucutu, President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel hosted a summit of himself, murderer Maduro of Venezuela, child molester Ortega of Nicaragua, and cocaine grower Morales of Bolivia but did not invite the Marxist AMLO of Mexico, who may be outgrowing some of his socialistic ideas but Mexico is still not a safe bet for foreign investment as AMLO wants to re-nationalize the Mexican oil industry, for example.

Agreed.

Weak. Not up to his usual standards.
