President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly asserted that "Mexico will pay" for his proposed southern border wall – but he's also said the U.S. will be reimbursed by Mexico after building it with taxpayer funds. That's the general feeling within the GOP political establishment when it comes to the prospect of Mexico paying the estimated $12 billion to $15 billion cost of the border wall. The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017Under Trump's theory, the federal government will initially allot the billions needed to build the wall. The most likely outcome of Trump's wall plan is that U.S. taxpayers will foot the bill for it, Mexico — maybe!
