Trump has long maintained that he will "build a wall" and Mexico will pay for it—which has become a rallying cry for millions of his supporters.
We must build a great wall between Mexico and the United States! https://t.co/05SjuRJFbf

I love the Mexican people, but Mexico is not our friend. They're killing us at the border and they're killing us on jobs and trade. FIGHT!

Skeptics of Trump's wall proposal include the current President of the United States.

Some folks aren't even sure if constructing a wall along the border is actually possible.
But Trump has dismissed any arguments about the feasibility of building 1,989 miles of border fencing.
For those that don’t think a wall (fence) works, why don’t they suggest taking down the fence around the White House? Foolish people!

And will Mexico even pay for the wall? Former Mexican president Vicente Fox responded by dropping the F-bomb.
When pushed, Trump responded to Fox's comments by saying "The wall just got 10 feet higher."
Trump says he would use trade tariffs and the Patriot Act to block wire transfers by citizens to Mexico unless the neighboring country agrees to pay for the wall.

But some experts think Trump's interpretation of the Patriot Act won't hold up in court and would be a gross overreach of executive powers.

Now, Trump is scheduled to meet with Mexico's current president—and it's likely the border wall will come up.
I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow.

But it's unlikely Trump will find a buyer for his "fabulous" wall.
