Every year, over $25 billion in remittances are sent to Mexico alone (money from people in the U.S. sent back to support their relatives or for other reasons, i.e., Western Union transfers, etc.). A 10% tax on these bank transfers would pay for the wall within 4 years IF the wall only costs $8 billion. I find that number laughably low. New sports stadiums cost over a billion dollars and those construction projects are localized to a city block or two, not 2,000 miles of hostile terrain.

Since Trump is a protectionist, I'm guessing he will introduce an import tax on Mexican goods to pay for the wall, which will protect jobs in the US etc.
However don't be fooled, if that is the case then the people paying for the wall will be (mainly) US consumers not Mexico.
