Wow ... that was a really bad analogy.  

In the case of the Wall, there is a single buyer and that buyer said they are not going to pay.  When auto companies are going to invest in manufacturing a car, they have a global marketplace of over 500 million potential buyers to sale their model.

The point stands. Just because the US is ponying up the money to builds the wall now doesn't mean that Mexico won't end up paying for it, one way or another.

And as a matter of policy, even if Mexico never pays for it (likely if the Dems retake the government and waive the cost) $18B is a cheap price for a major item of national defense equipment. For comparison, it's the same as the cost of 18 F-22 fighters, and much more likely to actually get used.
