US Republican candidate Donald Trump insists Mexico will pay for border wall "100%" in major immigration speech

He told a cheering crowd in Arizona that he would secure the border, and left open the possibility that millions of illegal immigrants be deported.

Hours earlier, he met the Mexican President Pena Nieto but said they did not discuss who would pay for the wall.

The president later insisted he had told Mr Trump Mexico would not pay.

There had been speculation that the Republican candidate would back off his plan to deport the estimated 11m undocumented immigrants living in the US.

In his speech in Phoenix, there were conflicting signals about this. He said their fate was not a "core issue" and that deporting "criminal aliens" would be the priority.

"We will treat everyone living or residing in our country with great dignity," he said.

But later he struck a less forgiving note when he added: "Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation. That is what it means to have laws."

I'm sure Mexico will gladly volunteer the funds for an extra 10 feet on his prison walls. Noblesse oblige.

The only way Trump is going to get the Mexicans to pay for this wall is to declare war on them.

4. Mexican president calls Trump a liar

The president of Mexico says Donald Trump wasn’t telling the truth when he described their Wednesday conversation.

Specifically, President Enrique Peña Nieto said that he and Trump did indeed discuss who would pay for construction of a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. That’s the centerpiece of Trump’s immigration plan.

Trump and Peña Nieto met privately in Mexico City on Wednesday afternoon.

When they emerged from the meeting, Trump told reporters they discussed the wall, but not paying for it.

Pena Nieto's post conference tweet: "“At the beginning of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made clear that Mexico would not pay for the wall.”

10. if Trump were to be "selected", and he really could build a wall...

by the time he was in office or a month, the wall wouldn't be to keep people from Mexico out, it would be to keep US citizens in.
