Yeah? But your country’s exporters will! And they won’t be allowed to play games either.

Mexico will pay for the wall. 10% tax on all money transfers to Mexico. Done.

95% tax on all money transferred that is not for payment of international debt.

He rebuilt an ice rink in NYC millions of dollars less and in a shorter time than Mayor Koch could. He will build a wall.

Where did Trump get a cost of 8 billion for the cost of the Border fence

Well, Trump would be in office for 4 years and 10% of 20 billion per year is 2 billion dollars per year

They will have no choice but to pay for it, if all goes according to Mr. Trump’s plan.

If they don’t pay for it outright, America will save a fortune in welfare, medicare, overrun schools, crime, and add to that all the money that leaves the country when illegals send it back to their relatives in Mexico.

If they wind up having to pay tariffs/taxes on products coming into the country, then all of the above savings are just icing on the cake. A big, high, multi-tiered cake.

But they’ll just switch to money orders. USPS and check cashing joints sell tons of them to Illegals now.

Easy enough to fix with some administrative rules. For example, if you're buying a money order and you cannot prove that you are a CITIZEN, there's a XX% tax that'll be withheld. If you're a citizen, no tax. If you are a legal permanent resident...OK, provide proof of the tax payment to the IRS, and you can deduct it as a withholding tax. Thus, all such payments by illegals, people here on work visas, people here who have overstayed their visas, etc. will be taxed.

No. That was Vincente Fox (zorro). All trump has to do is put a 55% tax on any wire account, WU transaction or any other bank transfer to Mehico, Panama, Guatemala, Iran, Gaza strip, etc., etc. Wall is paid for. Mehico goes broke and can wallow in misery while begging us to quit laughing at them.

Is Trump bluffing?
No I don’t think he is.

As President will he have the power?
It’s already law, so yes.

Are we actually giving that kind of money to Mexico?
No. And congress won’t give it to him either
++++
If we are not giving money to Mexico then Trump is LYING about how he will pay for it.

Are you sure you are right?

Trump rides the tiger at his own risk. He fails on the wall he will be devoured.

Definitely so. He has no magical melanin-powered deflector shield, you know.

A tax would have to pass Congress. Just make it a “fee”. It was good enough to put on every phone bill so Gore could say that he put the Internet in schools.

Somewhere along the line, this post got adulterated in my buffer.

I am sorry for the mess.
