I assume you mean Donald Trump when you say he. How is he going to convince Mexico to do that? Bully them? They won't have any benefit, most of the movement is coming to the US from Mexico.
Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.
Essentially, the US has a lot of screws it can tighten on Mexico.

Yeah, except for the production sharing part. He'd basically turn one of the few countries we have a surplus with into a deficit. Trump's an idiot.
