Donald Trump: 'we Will Build Mexico Border Wall'

[naomi24]

//The new US president is expected to sign several executive orders regarding immigration and border security over the next few days.

They are likely to include the "extreme vetting" of people coming from seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa.

This would restrict refugee access.//

He's not hanging about, is he.

// The initial costs will be borne by the US government and then it will be recouped from the Mexicans, who will pay for it incrementally through increased tariffs and tolls.
Sounds like a good plan to me. //

sounds like a crip plan to me

increased tariffs - on mehican exports into america ?
then the people who pay are the American consumers
not the mehican producers

I don't think you 'get it'. The German BMW company for example, is building a plant in Mexico in order to use cheap labour to manufacture and then export its luxury cars into the US under the North American Free Trade Agreement, unfairly undercutting the price of American manufactured cars and putting many car workers out of work in Detroit.
Only a fool would find this acceptable, and Trump is no fool and has the cojones to do something about it. Power to his elbow.

and so the way Trump will get the Mehicans to pay for a wall to keep them out is to get the Germans to pay for it ....
