MSNBC: Trump to Withhold Foreign Aid to Mexico to Pay for the Border Wall

EXCERPT:

KORNACKI: "I think today we're looking at something on the wall. You can accuse Donald Trump of many things, but he said ‘Build the wall’ 23 million times on the campaign trail. Of course, the executive order he would be putting out there today on the wall, it's unclear what this can actually do in terms of building it because I think you still need to get money from Congress. The more interesting I saw in some of the reporting on this is he also had that piece of it where he said, 'Make Mexico pay for it,' and all of his critics say Mexico will never fork over a check. I think we got a clue about maybe how they will pull that off. It looks like there is going to be a review here of the money that the DHS sends down to Mexico in the form of aid and essentially I think they would look to take the cost of the wall out of that and say, 'Here it is. This was supposed to go to Mexico and instead we are keeping it here to build the wall. Mexico paid for the wall.' It looks like that's the work-around they may have in mind."
