Does anyone really think building a wall...sorry, a barrier...will have an affect on the flow of drugs from Mexico?

You're dealing with cartels that have literally infinite money and there's an infinite demand here in America. Supply and demand, capitalism at its finest.

And still no one can explain exactly how Mexico is going to pay for it, even indirectly.

The USMCA, which has yet to be ratified by Congress, doesn’t differ from NAFTA in any way that would result in a substantial revenue increase. The new provisions added deal mostly with automobile manufacturing, intellectual property rights and access to Canadian dairy, which Trump has tweeted about at length. None of these put money into the US treasury. Both NAFTA and the USMCA charge no tariffs on trade with Canada and Mexico, just as was the case with NAFTA.

I've asked this multiple times. How is Mexico paying for this wall?

Not to mention that to complete this project will take years, if it ever reaches completion, Even if Trump wins a second term, i doubt that the wall would be completed before he was out of office. I've worked on multiple multi-million dollar military construction projects, and if it actually got completed without going way over budget and behind schedule I'd be incredibly surprised.

Mexico won’t pay for the wall, but until your son is dating a 9/10 salvadorean harlot you don’t get a say. If the wall had been built 27 years ago this tragedy could’ve been avoided. She always does the dishes at least
