Legal immigrants. Not illegal aliens. But I'm sure you knew that.

For context, in 2015 us exports to Mexico totaled $236 billion.
U.S. goods and services trade with Mexico totaled an estimated $583.6 billion in 2015. Exports were $267.2 billion; imports were $316.4 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with Mexico was -$49.2 billion in 2015.
Office of United States Trade
Add to that the $113 billion it costs the US for illegals, I say its a net gain of $163 billion.
Wall paid for!

I wonder how much the trade deficient is with Mexico.
I wonder if the wall cost 12 billion. (made up number)
I wonder if the trade deficient were to be reduced by 12 billion.
I wonder who paid for the wall.

It will be a savings in the long run as the taxpayers will save on the handouts to the illegals......

Conservatives are for LEGAL immigration. Liberals have to make it one or the other.

Exactly, Mexico will end up paying for it after our trade agreements are redone. Your typical low Information voter wouldn't know this of course, their more concerned about the NFL playoffs.

Well Officials from law enforcement , Office of Homeland security, FBI, CIA and Millions of Americans in Border States have been begging for this to be done for yrs. Even before Obama. I have no problem Paying for it on the front side. If you don't believe that Mexico would indeed pay for that bitch many times over on the backside then you just aren't being honest because you aren't stupid. Not to mention the Saftey issue. Have you been along the Border? The UNION of these Border agents backed Trump over Hillary. Why you think a want? Because they see the dangers. Officials in the military have said that the southern border would be the route more likely used by people trying to get the things needed to construct and detonate a Dirty Nuclear weapon in a major city. You think we should just wait and see? Ohh and as for as ladders and ropes, lol this wall isn't going to be made anywhere near allowing that to happen. The biggest thing would be finding the tunnels. If they see them being built I'd wait right until they bout done with and destroy it. But we will be freeing up many agents to find them. Of course the upgrade in drones will be equipped with the capibility to find these tunnels. Come await be intellectually honest.
Ohh and the Jobs! Think of the thousands and thoUsands of jobs this will create, from engineering , to the lunch trucks for the labor! Hell just the taxes from the people who get these jobs would pay for a lot of this project which would be one of the biggest under takings in American history. So you anti Trump guys , Just deal with it, hell politicians from both parties have stolen so much from us over the yrs we could have built a dome over the continental US yrs ago. You know that. Why are you and others so close minded? Really The American LIBERAL of Today is far from liberal. I Hope ALL Americans can find hope and come together as one. God Bless America :

I only wish we could go back in time and have my tax dollars pay for the wall 20 years ago.
Also, remittances, dumb arse.

Best money we ever spent.
Better than paying benefits to all these aliens who don't enter our country legally.

If Democrats knew it was that easy to get conservatives to cave, we'd have had a wall 100 years ago.

Where do I send the check? Money well spent to keep Mexico from HACKING OUR ELECTIONS.
Well said. The biggest "election hack" without doubt are the millions of illegal aliens from Mexico here in the USA who vote in our elections -- they overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
Democrats want us to eliminate Election Hacks? I agree. Let's start by building the wall. Mexico will pay for it because we will take a percentage of every dollar that Mexicans earn here but want to send back to Mexico.
TEN PERCENT should be the starting point for Trump's negotiation. Ten cents from every dollar sent back to Mexico. They can consider it a tithe to the "Church of MAGA".

TRUMP never said when or how Mexico was going to pay.
If you assume he meant Mexico was gonna write us a check for it all up front then that was your mistake, not ours.
I'm sure it'll all be settled by some type of royalties program where Mexico has to pay us $1.25 whenever someone says the word "wall" or some shite like that.

No moron, it will be settled by transactions fees on all the millions of interactions we have with them and their citizens, just like Trump has said it would.

Like when a Mexican goes to an ATM there will be another screen that asks if he/she is willing to pay the "wall surcharge" then press either yes or no?
