If he wants Mexico and perhaps the rest of Central and South America to pay for the wall, tax the remittances that are sent back. We should be taxing that regardless of the wall.

I am not claiming that Trump had that in mind when he continually stated "Mexico will pay for the wall", but taxing that money is how you would do it.

Just as an FYI, countries do not make out actual checks to one another in any circumstance.

Trump says he 'never meant Mexico would write a check' for the wall

But on the campaign trail, Trump appeared to make that argument. A March 2016 memo to Washington Post reporters explained multiple ways to "compel Mexico" to "make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion" to keep the U.S. from cutting off the spigot of money it already sends to Mexico annually.

New Trump rally chant...

Trump: What do we want?

Trump rabble: Some steel slats, or whatever!

Trump: And who’s gonna pay for it?

Trump rabble: Mexico, indirectly, through a tweaked NAFTA that may or may not be passed, and will result in no money to US coffers in any event! In other words, we will!

I believe he was referring to helping the indolent get jobs
By indolent you mean the hundreds of appointees he brought into the government that have been indicted, convicted, fired or quit?

indolent
adjective
  1. having or showing a disposition to avoid exertion; slothful:
