So then, by saying so-on and so forth, you're implying that it is beneficial to all sides, just that you don't want to go into detail? I guess there are upsides, if it's a huge wall we'll have to look up to attempt to get to the other side XD

To answer your question, yes.

This entire exchange is an illustration of the fact that people on the internet need to clarify their points from the get-go better, to avoid being misinterpreted by others.

It's OK loli-chan

He should tax the cash transfers regardless of the wall.

WTF. No wonder they want to stop that. The government wants its hand on all the tax money.

Funny how he is OK taxing individual immigrants who are already poor but not wealthy coporations that have $2.6 trillion overseas.

At a 35% corporate tax rate, that's $910 billion in tax revenue we are actually supposed to have but don't.  He could build 20+ walls with that money but, you know, he'd rather piss off immigrants than his rich buddies and himself/family.

So are you for protectionist policies or not? Because those tax havens are created by two things (super lax trade and complex tax code that allows for so many loopholes) and both have had pretty bipartisan support.

What are the odds this is going to work?

Absolutely zero. Trump made promises he knew he couldn't keep and now he's just trying to make a good show of it so he doesn't lose their support (all 27% of it). 

2020 can't come soon enough.

Im latino, and i respect the idea of taking a close look of your own frontiers and who you let in.

But the whole "We are going to build a wall, and YOU are going to pay for it" is fucking hilarious.

Trump is cray cray for sure.

One of the few ways Trump could get Meixco to pay. I still think; forget the cost of building it, it's the cost of maintaining it (Trumps presidentcy and beyond) that will bankrupt American.

Could possibly the largest white elephant ever built.
