White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that Mexico will pay for President Donald Trump’s border wall “one way or another.”
“Building this barrier is more than just a campaign promise. It’s a common-sense first step to really securing our porous border,” Spicer said at the beginning of his daily briefing. “And yes, one way or another, as the President has said before, Mexico will pay for it.”
“Has the administration figured out how Mexico will pay for it?” a reporter asked later in the briefing during the question and answer session.
“I think the President is working with Congress and other folks to figure out opportunities for that to happen,” Spicer replied.
He said that there are “a lot” of funding mechanisms that could be used to fund the wall, though Trump and Congress have apparently not settled on one yet.
“At this point his goal was to get the project started as quickly as possible using existing funds and resources that the department currently has and then to move forward and work with Congress on an appropriations schedule,” Spicer said. “But again we’re here at day three.”
SUCKERS! You’re going to pay for it…
And it isn’t a wall either…
Somebody posted this already, but it is fitting that if the Dutch could build their “wall” to keep the ocean out (and built an ocean to keep Mexicans out) and make Mexico pay for it, Trump can surely make Mexico pay for his wall as well.
Spicer said. “But again we’re here at day three.”
Trump: Where I come from, I can easily sell an existing partial fence as a new and complete wall. Watch me do it.
