The dollar would then become the de facto currency of Mexico, replacing the peso.

Make that surcharge 10 or 15% and we can get the wall paid for in 5 years.

Every time a smuggler is caught seize all the funds and property.
All proceeds from the sale of seized property plus all the cash recovered is to be spent directly on the construction of the wall.

Can’t say I put too much trust in what “Sundance” has to say, but if Trump does manage to pay for even some of the wall by remittances it will be #megawinning.

Works for me...

Far as I am concerned, when it comes to those smugglers, they can use the wall for the worlds largest memorial marker, unmarked of course.

I like Ted Cruz’s idea of using the drug lord money we’ve already seized to pay for it.

. . . and you apply a small 4% surcharge for each wire transfer to Mexico, that surcharge would net $1+ Billion/year. Multiplied over ten years (budget requirement) that means $10 Billion into the U.S. treasury from the surcharge fee."
