If we did that at the southern border we’d go a long way toward the national debt.

BTW the proposed is an ignorant idea.

All money rightfully belongs to government.

Any money the peasants have, they have because of the generosity of government, and they should be grateful for any crumbs government leaves in their pockets.

How about a ‘crossing fee’ for every Mexican that enters this country.....say $5000 for a start.

Would you still make your weekly or monthly shopping trip to the United States if you had to pay an additional fee each time you crossed a land border by car or bus?

As I understand it, Canadians already have to pay a tax on anything they bring into the country from the US. So that means they get socked coming and going.

Smart idea, comrades. /s

NAFTA and other similar agreements may prohibit doing this....this would be a restraint on trade

I can’t believe I said something nice about NAFTA
