The prototypes currently being made today do NOT count as starting construction, correct?

If the first brick/slab/whatever of the wall is laid on November 7, and trump declares (on November 7), that starting on November 9, mexico will reimburse the united states for the wall through tariffs. How would this resolve?

@RevelationX Yes that is the intention, it has to actually begin construction efforts.

I understand "...the wall starts construction..." as actual breaking ground of new 'wall' project. NOT signed contracts, nor bids on contracts, nor surveying of land, nor backhoes moved to construction location. Agreed?

After the construction begins, how long does it take for the 'mexico nopay, mexico partial pay, mexico full pay' takes to resolve? Because trump wants to make mexico pay with reimbursements, meaning that US is 'lending' money for mexico to pay for it

@Mirh Only one option can win. If more than one could win, no one would bet on "The wall is not built" and "Mexico pays entirely"
Mirh
3:30AM, Feb 3, 2017 UTC
And if the wall is not built, does Mexico Does Not Pay resolve yes?

Can more than one section win? If mexico pays for the entire wall, does Mexcico Pays Partially resolve yes?

Clarification if the US takes away Mexican Aid Payments to build the wall is it the US or Mexico that really is paying for it?

Mexico will pay for the wall by reimbursements, according to Trump from his first press conference : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gVBK_eGlqU

i imagine if they pay nothing at the start it goes to purple? when is this bet called? when the plans are given out? another question if there is no plans yet for mexico to pay for it what does that fall under?

If they put in Cameras that Mexico pays the criteria may be tricky

Very good questions I've put in a ticket to edit the bet.

Yeah, Mexico is obviously not going to cut a check for the wall. But there's a million ways to make them pay for it. For example, there's like 40 billion dollars in remittances going to mexico from immigrants in the US. Making that illegal would qualify as Mexico paying towards the wall. Tarriffs, immigration reform, etc could be used to penalize mexico without requiring their consent. Thus, you need to be more clear about these things in the bet description.

How would increased tariffs on Mexico, even if not directly going to the budget of the wall, be considered?
