I don't remember saying anything about Mexico paying for the wall through trade.

Then, how, precisely, do you expect Mexico to pay for the wall?

The less drugs that enter America, the less money they need to spend on crime, health, etc, and the less money that enters Mexico. Less Mexican's being able to constantly cross the border, working in America without paying taxes, and bringing it back to Mexico, that also means more jobs for American's who can be taxed, leading to less poverty, less spending on crime, heath, etc. Many less people getting over the wall means less border spending, crime, etc, plus a bunch of people stuck in Mexico and how many are really going to go back to where they came from, causing many problems which will surely mean money spent that wouldn't be otherwise for Mexico. That's just a small portion of all the many ways Mexico would pay for it. I don't know why you seem to want direct examples as I clearly stated earlier that it would be indirect.
