He proposed that Mexico would indirectly pay for the border wall through excise taxes and entry fees levied on people and goods crossing the border. This approach moves away from the idea of a direct payment from the Mexican government toward a fee-based infrastructure funding model.

A medical student from Kitchener, Ontario, clarified that it is currently easier for Canadian medical graduates to find residency spots in the United States than in Canada.
