I know some Trump supporters are angry that he's walked back his "They're gonna pay for it.' promise, what with the funds being included in his proposed budget, but I believe the funds had years ago already been appropriated but not spent except for a portion of the wall south of San Diego. Regardless, it could get paid for by Mexico by putting a surcharge on all remissions sent south of the border. I think 10% would be enough, but I wouldn't mind if that was bumped up some.

Mexico took in nearly $25 billion in money sent "home" just last year. (more than they made from oil revenues!) 10% of that is 2.5 billion and the wall is expected to cost 21.6 billion, but even if it was more than that, we could adjust that 10% figure. Besides that percentage, the money staying here in the U.S. will be used for loans, to build the economy, to bring in new businesses or even to lower taxes due to it being "turned over" several times. When it goes out of the country, it's pretty much out of our economy.

Of course ,when they start self-deporting, then the amount of remissions will drop, but the net savings in other costs such as social services and prison expenses, reduction of crime, etc. will make up for that.

Sorry, swap out "remittances" for "remissions". I had been on Facebook and was upset that a longtime online friend's cancer had come back after being in remission for several years. I had that in my mind, hoping for another remission. She's been through so much.

That's true, jarasan, but the majority are from Mexico, although I suppose percentages could vary from place-to-place. Still, Trump specifically said he was going to make Mexico pay for the wall.
