There is already a wall on the border.

Check m8 atheists

Its not hard, especially when you have 5 or 6 million undocumented low income workers who could do it. Mexico is our bitch. We are the big dog, and even give them plenty in money and business. They need us more than we need them. We could easily pull there arm.

highly efficient

the mexican government pays their people to build it. it's a win win. we have a wall keep those filthy mexicans out en they have jobs.

They pay for it because the US withholds the billions in subsidies/handouts we give them every year until it's built.

You can't build a wall, it's not going to happen..Mexico sure as shit isn't paying for it AND don't listen to anything trump says it take it seriously. Yes this includes if he's elected.

And it's working so well, a bigger wall is certainly the answer

It is not realistic to build a complete wall, but there is no need to do so.

It is realistic to care about protecting the border, the other side believes this is racist for some reason.

He wants to pay for it with trade deficits. He's a "successful" businessman and he thinks that's how trade deficits work...

kek

it will take 13 years to build and over 8billion to make. A wall wont stop or even massively hinder illegals from coming.
the is legit one of the stupidest things i have heard so far.

I believe the closest he has come to talking about how "mexico" was going to pay for it was to levy some sort of tax on money going back to mexico.

He may well get some money from that, but not enough for a wall for the simple reason that people would find ways to avoid this tax.

Still, have no problem with anything that stops money from leaving the country

A levy would just keep money from coming into the US, and a wall wouldn't keep money from going out.

...

No, a tax on money going from the US to Mexico only, so it would not prevent money from coming in.

in 2013 there was about 25Billion dollars sent back to mexico, he is probably thinking that he can get 1B a year for 8 years if he taxes that money.

of course that is not how the real world works, the moment he passes that tax the money sent will be more like 2.5B, with the rest going in the back of Jose's pickup

Trump is a blowhard narcissist that lacks a real understanding of economics, or most other large scale concepts.

He's great at self-promotion. I'll give him that. I wish I could buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth.

He can't and won't build a wall. Congress will never authorize the spending.

>B-but he will make Mexico pay

Right. He's going to get a country that can't afford public financing of a potable water system and indoor plumbing to fund tens of billions of dollars worth of walls to keep their own people in. Gotcha.

This may help

Mexico will pay by sending to mexicans to usa to do odd jobs here and there for less than min wage.

unrealistic adn he won't

it was just shitposting. Braggardly making up shit to feed to his shit eating fans. He was spoofing - gettinghis rocks ff on the cheers - it was never serious, never true, never anything but a Donnie grets sheers for saying it lie.

like everything else. He is running for the ego, not the office. Pity he will end up a loser, as always.

It's extremely realistic.
It will make tons of jobs along the boarder.
>People working on the wall
>Stores selling to the workers
>Lodging & stuff for the workers
>consumer products will be needed for everyone
>will increase demand for importing supplies
It's an economic win, basically like how towns used to form around coal mines or railroad stations. Even if mexico doesn't pay anything, after a small start up for the project the tax and trade revenue it will generate will pay for the rest and then some.
Not to mention stopping the flow of cash out of the country to Mexico.

Don't really get it why you yankees flip your shit so hard over some people who have no problems with working hard.
We could need people like that in europe lol, youngsters refuse to work for shit and wanna be paid millions for not obeying any rules and being on their phones all the time

Trump's only job is to make sure the republicans fail, which he's already done.

The US opens up the border every berry picking season so that mexican vaqueros can come and pick california's fruits every year.

It's not that they get payed less (which they do) it's that they are willing to live in the shed like animals so that they can keep picking fruits 22 hours a day while they are ripe so that they don't go to waste. Without these illegal immigrants the entire California agriculture industry would dissapear. The US cant afford to stop growing food for military strategic reasons (we would be fucked on a war with mexico if all our food comes from mexico)

A wall is not going to change this

>They pay for it because the US withholds the billions in subsidies/handouts we give them every year until it's built.
