NightSide - Who Pays For The Wall?

BOSTON (CBS) - President Trump has officially started the process of building the wall on our southern border. Though he said throughout the campaign that Mexico would pay for the wall, many are wondering if it will be the U.S. taxpayers that end up footing the bill. President Trump said today that he spoke with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and the call was "very friendly." The White House released a statement stating, "The two had a productive and constructive call regarding the bilateral relationship between the two countries. The current trade deficit the United States has with Mexico, the importance of the friendship between the two nations, and the need for the two nations to work together to stop drug cartels, drug trafficking and illegal guns and arms sales." Who do you believe ultimately pays for the wall? Would you be willing to pay for the wall?
