Mexico's embrace of what amounts to communism hasn't worked out very well, has it?

Sources: Trump will ask Congress, not Mexico, to pay for border wall - CNNPolitics.com
Well Donny is "moonwalking" yet again, which is hardly surprising given that anyone with an ounce of sense realized Mexico wasn't going to pay jack, including our con artist in chief.

The other issue is that this is a total waste of money that we don't have. Immigration from Mexico has slowed to a trickle and most people who come here illegally, FLY IN, and overstay their visas. How does a wall solve that problem?

Lastly, how in the hell is Donny going to build a $25 billion dollar wall, spend a trillion on infrastructure, significantly increase military spending, cut corporate and individual taxes, and not explode the deficit which he now owns?

I'm waiting for an answer Trumpies.

You do realize only idiots believed Mexico would initially foot the bill for the wall. I don't see how this is news?

As has been noted, over 600 miles of that 700 has already been built.
Will what amounts to be less than another 100 miles make that much difference?

And, as has been asked repeatedly, how will the issue of private land be addressed?
Eminent domain?

There are good things about Mexico.

Many good things.

That's why it's time for Mexicans to stop illegally immigrating to the U.S. and stay in Mexico.

Most of educated mexicans remain in Mexico, many of the uneducated mexicans went to US because they were HIRED by you in order that you may keep your costs down.

We should ask Mother Nature how she addresses it when the Rio Grande changes course and changes the border and private land boundaries.

We're talking about illegal aliens doing cash transfers from the U.S. to Mexico via Western Union.

Next you'll be telling me about setting up shell corporations in the Cayman Islands.
