Taxpayers Will Pay Wall, Recognizes White House Employee

In his oval office speech Tuesday, Trump said, "The wall will also be paid indirectly by the great new trade deal that we we have with Mexico. "

But the trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada has not yet been approved by Congress and even the perceived benefits of its adoption would not constitute a Mexican agreement – direct or indirect – payment of the boundary wall Whatever the economic benefits provided by the trade agreement, they would result in financial benefits for companies and higher wages for some people, and not an immediate financial benefit for the US Government.

And Mick Mulvaney, Acting Cabinet Director of the White House, said on Sunday the construction "requires the allocation" of federal funds from Congress, even though the financial benefits of the US $ 40 million.

The evolution is contrasted compared to the 2016 campaign, when Trump had repeatedly promised that Mexico would pay for the border wall – – a complaint that Mexican officials categorically rejected.

Schlapp also claimed that the trade agreement would "create more jobs in America, generate more business in America and keep our wages up"

. "So this trade agreement actually helps pay for our border security," Schlapp said.

The White House did not provide any concrete numbers in support of its claim, refusing to say how the trade agreement would yield much money and what percentage of those financial gains cover the financing of the border wall.

Schlapp's comments came as the White House continued to raise its voice in the courts to argue that there was a "crisis" in the south of the country. A wall is the solution to this problem.

Trump and the Democrats remain in stalemate on the financing of the wall, while Trump refuses so far to accept a spending bill does not include funding the wall and Democrats refusing to support legislation that funds a border wall.
