You're talking about millions of dollars seized from drug cartels and operations. The wall will cost billions.
Where will the rest come from?

So he is going to used seized money and assets...seized in the United States, to pay for the wall.
How is this "Mexico paying for the wall"?
Also, a large majority of these "seized assets" are drugs, which they put a monetary value on...but exactly how are they going to turn those drugs into cash to pay for the wall?

When he says Mexico paying for the wall he means Mexicans will pay for the wall when we tax the $28 Billion they send to Mexico every year. IMHO

Almost $25 billion flowed last year from the pockets of Mexicans living overseas, almost all of it from the U.S. That's even higher than what Mexico earns from its oil exports.
Remittances are even expected to top $28 billion this year. All that money is dependent on a border that allows people to cross. Trump threatens this money flow in 2 ways: putting a stop to remittances and building a wall. Both would turn off the money spigot.

It would not. The moment we force our banks to start taxing money sent, another bank will open up, do everything online, not tax the money, and send it to Mexico instead.
