if he hits mexico with tariffs
and mexico's #1 trading partner is the US
how exactly does that not end up with the US paying for the wall?
you can try and defend the wall but it actually just makes you a retard. The cost of the wall would be more easily used by just paying anyone who claims to be fucked by immigrants to shut up. It costs ~$10k to deport someone, and $25bn for the dumb wall from construction alone. Illegal immigrants are nowhere near that damaging to the US economy, and some would argue they're a benefit.
there's a reason no one in the past 20 years has actually done anything about them: its a waste of money
