If you look at what I said in the bold, you did EXACTLY that.  

And you saying that Mexico will get something out of it.  No, they aren't gaining anything, they only stand to lose.  Also, you make it sound like only Mexico benefits from the trades, as if the United States would ever do that for a country that actually has a pretty sizeable economy (It's in the top 15 biggest economies in the world).  It seems like you really don't understand the topic you are arguing if you think that Mexico would just go and take it.  The costs of Mexico making the wall would be high, and the USA would only benefit.  USA renegotiating the trade deals with Mexico will harm BOTH USA and Mexico.  Why would Mexico agree?  

I doubt you have an answer, because there isn't any logical one.

Does your house (or apartment, condo, whatever) have a door? Does your house have a lock? Yes or no.

NAFTA is an executive agreement. Congressional action on NAFTA has permitted the President to enter into these agreements. This means that the President has the authority to renegotiate these agreements under the trade acts passed by Congress in the 70's and 80's.

NAFTA has no expiration date but it must be periodically renegotiated. NAFTA benefits Mexico and big business in the USA and Donald Trump would be in a huge position to put Mexico in a vice over it. Mexico would gladly build a wall with their NAFTA trade surplus.

And bear in mind that he would have the backing of the AFL-CIO on this issue which may effect a massive Republican landslide in the general election. Trump is on the verge of becoming an unstoppable juggernaut.

When he says there will be a big, beautiful wall you'd better believe him.
