    'We will NEVER pay for a wall,' Mexico tells Trump via Twitter

    'We will NEVER pay for a wall,' Mexico's foreign minister tells President Donald Trump via Twitter

    A top Mexican government official took to Twitter on Tuesday to deliver a message his country has repeated again and again to the White House: Mexico will never pay for President Trump’s border wall.

    “We just reached a trade understanding with the US, and the outlook for the relationship between our two countries is very positive,” tweeted Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray Caso. “We will NEVER pay for a wall, however. That has been absolutely clear from the very beginning.” He tweeted in English and Spanish.


    Videgaray Caso’s declaration via social media came in response to Trump’s remarks earlier in the day when he told reporters at the White House that Mexico will "easily" pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.


    “The wall will be paid for very easily by Mexico,” said Trump. “It will ultimately be paid for by Mexico.”


    Trump has insisted since his 2016 presidential campaign that Mexico would pay for a border wall to keep out illegal drugs and undocumented immigrants. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has been adamant that his country would never pay for such a wall.


    The administration wants Congress to approve at least $25 billion to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

    Earlier this year, the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee signed off on a bipartisan border security funding bill that includes $1.6 billion for a border wall.

    Cut off every dime to Mexico and Central America

    Build the Wall

    Tax 15% on all remittances out of our country

    Stop issuing them Visa's and work permits

    Cut off every taxpayer funded program to illegal aliens including welfare, food stamps, medical care and school.

    Shut down incoming border traffic to one lane...back them up to South America!

    Slam the border shut and put Mexico and Central America on the travel ban list...they cannot come here!

    They are a lying corrupt Narco state and a security threat to our Nation.
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL

    Selling us on the notion that Congress is going to release $25 billion on the big beautiful wall President Trump campaigned on.

    I'm not going to say it will never happen, but it is seeming more and more less likely.

    It's even worse than that---he just said again that Mexico will pay for the Wall and it will be easy. He said that after negotiating NAFTA and it not being mentioned. As soon as he said that, Mexico sent a message of not paying for wall. How embarrassing, but I don't think Trump knows what embarrassing is.

    You must have watched his campaign closer than I did, because all I ever heard him say during the campaign was the wall he wanted to build would cost $10 billion and Mexico would pay for it.

    Mexico has always said they weren't paying for the wall. Why would that be "embarrassing" to Trump?

    We can place a "fee" on their remittances ( Mexico's #1 source of income) and it would be paid. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

    Yes, there are many different ways Mexicans will be paying for the wall and many other costs associated with illegal immigration during the Trump Presidency, but many of those will require acts of Congress which is why we need at least 60 Republican Seats in the US Senate while holding or growing our majority in the US House of Representatives.
