The interpretation of this statement right here separates the non-creative mind from the creative mind.

"Mexico will pay for the wall" interpretation from the non-creative mind literally means Mexico will write a check for wall construction.

"Mexico will pay for the wall" interpretation from the creative mind spans the gamut of ideas starting with Mexico will write a check for wall construction to fiscal offsets from savings, trade rebalancing, remittance taxes, etc., etc.

President Trump most certainly falls in the latter category. He's a successful business man and one trait that is pretty consistent across successful business people is the ability to think creatively on the fly.

If this president can nip illegal immigration in the bud with the help of a physical wall the costs savings from reduced illegal immigration will more than offset the measly costs of a physical wall. Hell, the re-balancing of trade in the new USMC trade agreement will offset the measly costs of a wall.

The wall is a good business decision.

Enforcing our current laws and auditing welfare would do most of that legwork. The sticker price and O&M is not going to be recouped solely based on its existence. The sooner this is accepted, the better for pro-wall people to begin to dismantle anti-arguments.
