I'm sure there's plenty of other ways to achieve it. It doesn't have to a specific 'Border Wall Fee', just income via various means to offset the cost of the wall.

If you charge a tariff, you are making the American consumer pay for the wall.  Not Mexico.   

To me, and to any reasonable person, "Mexico will pay for the wall" means the Mexican government will pay the cost of the wall.  There was no chance of that happening.

A tariff is not the only lever, just one I presented. There are various ways to extract money. It was worth a shot, but the walking rift named Donald Trump ensured it never had a chance.
