Apply some levy (whatever the proper term / method is), say 33%, on this money. It’s been my desire to do this for years.

We’ll get money and they’ll start spending more here, eventually.

Win-win for us.

Partner, we have been saying there is more than $30 Billion a year going to Mexico right now and we in the U.S. are not receiving one cent.

We have around way too many Illegal Aliens right now in the U.S. and most of them from Mexico and now from other Central American countries. We are spending more money on Education, Hospital care, Housing, Food Stamps and other stuff. The American Taxpayer foots the bill on these charges. The MSM and the Demon Rat party in Congress has never ever read the U.S. Constitution since it says that these Aliens do not have any rights whatsever being in this country and therefore should not get any of these benefits that I mentioned before.

Yes, we agree with ya that we should at least apply some tax or levy on these massive amount of $$$$.

We could use the $$$ for the building of the 30' minimum tall Southern Border Wall.

As much as one is tempted to slam down punitive taxation on these folks, setting the levy too high will simply drive the flow of dollars underground. Bitcoin comes to mind. I'd start with a very modest transfer tax of two percent, which would presumably be earmarked for "border security" -- meaning the wall. It'd be difficult for opponents to deny the fairness of such a small percentage. Three billion dollars a year will pay for a fair amount of hardware. The levy can then be gradually bumped up to as much as four percent, which is still very reasonable and still unlikely to spark a mass migration to underground channels.

Build the wall!
Make it tall.
It helps us all.
Let's not stall --
Build the wall!

As you noted, a win/win for us.

First we get immediate funding from the tax to build the Wall.

Then as you noted, they will spend more money here for the second win!
