Mexico has already stated point blank that they will not pay for the border wall: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38753826 …pic.twitter.com/SqpKxNReZ6
Eventually, but at a later date so we can get started early, Mexico will be paying, in some form, for the badly needed border wall.

The only possible way you can make Mexico pay for the border wall is through tariffs or something similar. And a tariff hurts Americans.
-
All it does is raise prices for Americans and jeopardize American jobs that rely on being competitive internationally:pic.twitter.com/Ale3GlhbLr

So if Americans end up paying, how much is it going to cost them? According to the Department of Homeland Security: $21.6 BILLION DOLLARS

Here's the article with that figure in it, from the report for the DHS:http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-wall-exclusive-idUSKBN15O2ZN …

Democrats, of course, think that number will by much higher, but let's go with the DHS' own report for the moment.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/senate-democrats-border-wall-cost-trump.html?_r=0 …

So what does $21.6 billion dollars get you? It gets you nearly three times the annual budget of the FBI:pic.twitter.com/d6X5w0qIqq

1. We have a border wall–to close gaps will cost 1/3 your demand to boost military spending by $60 billion this yearhttps://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/856172056932700164 …

2. So instead of giving $60,000,000,000 to defense cronies, blaming Dems, why don't you and Republicans take $20B and build that wall?

3. We have a border wall because top Democrats–Obama, Clinton, Schumer + 23 others–supported it; so quit whining/blaming Dems, get to work!pic.twitter.com/VB8Y3EpGRd

4. While you delay the wall/play blame game, remember, Dems have done far more for border security than you havehttps://twitter.com/khanoisseur/status/856230706569138176 …

5. Border wall will cost 1% of defense budget next 4 years–Trump/GOP can easily pay for it, instead of stoking xenophobia, attacking Mexico

Who wants a frickin wall?

I'm beginning to want for him and his stupid voters at this point. They are all a bunch of Aliens...

Republicans seem keen on avoiding the shutdown

However, the White House seems to wants to either shut down Obamacare or shutdown the government

Gotta love blaming the Dems even though they control neither the house, senate, nor the presidency.

It's always Obama's fault
