In fact....he reiterated that claim just the other day upon his return from Mexico.
That was just his opening position. Trump's a deal maker. I propose we make the Clinton Foundation pay for it and call it good.

Just doubling down on stupid.

Whatever boost Trump got from his visit to Mexico he's already thrown away with his last xenophobic speech and fixating on the wall that will not, and cannot, ever be built.

This.

In order to keep his base of supporters, he gave an immigration speech in Arizona filled with all the hate and loathing his supporters love.

That has pissed away any goodwill he may have gain from his trip to Mexico. 

And further reinforced the notion that he is a two-faced, amoral liar.

I can't imagine cartel assets in this country amounting to a whole lot.
So just who are we going to sell all of the drugs we seize to?  :pondering:

The best way I can see to help pay for the cost of construction, maintenance and manning of the border barrier would be a surcharge on ALL foreign remittances.

Doesn't have to be an obnoxiously high percentage -- 10% would be about right.

This could raise a LOT of revenue...
