Trump's whole campaign for building a wall was predicated on Mexico paying for it.
Cooperate tax-reform plan the House Republicans are planning, the border-adjustment, will literally force Mexico to give us every penny for the wall and then some.
I know you know nothing about this because you only read headlines.
Here's an excerpt from Martin Feldstein, top economist
"the border adjustment would raise hundreds of billions in tax revenue — not from U.S. consumers or corporations, but from our foreign trading partners. Under the border adjustment, the United States would refund the tax on exports and charge it on imports — so the net revenue would be negative if we had a trade surplus, and positive if we had a trade deficit. Because the United States has a trade deficit, Feldstein calculates the border adjustment would bring in about $120 billion a year, or $1 trillion over a decade."
No one in their right mind actually believed Mexico was just going to cut us a check.
Maybe you should do what some of your newly redneck American brethren do and educate yourself.
