American would have to contribute a cent because it wouild be fully funded my Mexico?

So why is he using all kinds of leverage, from DACA to the migrant children to get the America tax-payer to pay for the wall?

They're charging parents between $1k-15k for a "bond" to release their own kids back to them, after arresting them for following the law & then kidnapping their children.

And now is trying to con Congress or blackmail them, or hold children hostages to get his way. If they give in, they'll just regret it as he'll just want more the next time. The NFL is a good example , but he's done this in his businesses too, give me xyz or I'll screw you over. Also why no American banks wanted anything to do with him anymore.
