LOL CBS! There is no such thing as "technically" in Mexico. The barrier is in Mexico and Mexican authorities should just cut it up and remove it.

    And make America pay for it! That'd make me laugh every time I think about it for now and forever after Donald Trump tried to get Mexico to pay for his dumb fucking wall.

    Small correction: he told people Mexico would pay for it. Because how could he possibly make another country pay for anything? Lol. Only thing stupider was that people believed that shit.

    He did try. He begged the Mexican president to pay for it. "You gotta help me out." The Mexican president did not help him out.

    You gotta source for that? All I heard was that the Mexican president addressed it publicly after Trump said this bs on the campaign trail.
