Mexico is paying (indirectly) for the Wall through the new USMCA, the replacement for NAFTA! Far more money coming to the U.S. Because of the tremendous dangers at the Border, including large scale criminal and drug inflow, the United States Military will build the Wall!

Didn't we just give them a few billion though? How does that factor in?

I agree with the President, but frankly I do not care who pays for it, I just want it up and guarded

That's an interesting way to frame it.

I'm ready for Trump to actually go through with this, rather than tweeting about it.

If he'd hire Mexican labor we'd save a ton of money and have the wall built in half the time.

Does he expect uniformed military to actually build it or will be contracted out from the Army Corps of Engineers?

We buy T-walls, military doesn’t build them.

He always framed it that way. Media framed it as Mexico directly paying for it.

But they still wouldn't throw their fast food wrappers and cups in the dumpsters provided on the job site.

FBI / CIA should pay for it.

Director, Homeland Security should declare the situation at the border an imminent threat to our nation. Executive branch should re-program $5B from the FBI then fund any shortfall from CIA/IC black-ops budgets.
Tell USACE they have one-year to obligate the entire amount with 2 year's carry-over. 2 years from now, we will deal with unexpended funds (if any).

Well the military better start building that wall in a hurry if he wants to keep a large chunk of his supporters in 2020. I fear no wall=no 2nd term.
