The "we will make Mexico pay for it" seemed like more of a public front.

Well, let's consider this from a different angle. If the wall leads to a significant decrease in illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and other cross-border crimes, wouldn't Mexico indirectly benefit from it? So, isn't it fair to ask for their contribution? However, I agree that the phrase "we will make Mexico pay for it" may have been a simplification of a complex issue. What do you think would be a more effective and fair way to manage the costs associated with border security?
