You mean...money xferred to Mexico is couriered across the border? The wall will be electron-tight?
I don’t think so. If there comes to be a small tax on remittances, then what are the remitters going to do, return to Mexico where the wages are so much higher?
Besides, is the security of the nation supposed to be beholden to the revenue projections of one company?
The headline is a false conclusion of a faulty premise. The assumption is that “millions” of people are going to be deported and unable to return because of a wall. This will never happen. But they are trying to stick things onto Trump. He may have even said he wants to remove illegal immigrants, but he will most certainly clarify his plan in the general and I would wager that it will not include the round-up of masses of people for deportation.
IMO the best idea he had on this topic, and unfortunately it was a golden nugget lost in a ton of hyperbole and sloppy language, was that if people who came illegally want a path they would have to leave and come back with papers. I cannot speak for Trump obviously and I am not a psychiatrist, but the symbolism of this idea is enormous. If a person’s first task upon entering the country is to break the law, it has to play a part in their view of the country in general. By absolving that crime through a ritual like leaving and coming back the lawful way, it should also instill more pride and more respect for the country and its laws in general, the way people who go through the swearing in ceremony claim to feel.
