    Yes... they're called tariffs and trade deals.

    Politico: Fact check: Mexico will 'indirectly' pay for a border wall through the new trade deal

    https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/10/fact-check-mexico-border-wall-1073928 Fact check: Mexico will 'indirectly' pay for a
    border wall through the new trade deal

    But it’s still unclear how any indirect economic
    impact stemming from the trade pact will provide
    funds for the wall.

    The White House and U.S. Trade Representative’s
    Office didn’t immediately respond to questions on
    how Mexico might indirectly pay for the
    $5.7 billion the president wants for the wall.

    What is clear is the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada
    Agreement Trump signed with other leaders on
    Nov. 30 contains no specific provision that
    requires Mexico to fund a wall.
