Trump dismisses attempt by ‘abuser’ Mexico to negotiate tariffs
Washington Examiner ^ | 06-02-19 | John Gage

Posted on 06/02/2019 6:46:36 AM PDT by Monrose72

President Trump Sunday derided Mexico's effort to negotiate away his threat to impose 5% tariffs, calling the nation an "abuser" of the United States and declaring, "America has had enough." “People have been saying for years that we should talk to Mexico. The problem is that Mexico is an 'abuser' of the United States, taking but never giving. It has been this way for decades," Trump said on Twitter. "Either they stop the invasion of our Country, "[W]hich they can do very easily, or our many companies and jobs that have been foolishly allowed to move South of the Border, will be brought back into the United States through taxation (Tariffs). America has had enough!”

Tariffs are fine, but let’s get that tax on wire transfers going already.

Agree 100%

If they earn the money in the USA, they should spend it in the USA. Helps to create American jobs.

And go after the SOB's plotting the overthrow of the US govt with the Halfrican.

At the WH, under the Honduran flag, then-Pres Obama met with El Salvador's Pres Salvador Sanchez Ceren
(from left), Guatemalan Pres Otto Perez Molina and Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to self-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

...an 'abuser' of the United States, taking but never giving.

Trump just as easily could be referring to the growing leftist wing of the D party. It is quite clear that wing is growing at an accelerating pace, just look around the nation and the growing number of its formal, or informal, sanctuary cities.

Then consider how the active left and its courts have recently "abused" the nation's borders along with its traditional American institutions. Add to that, on the back end, the rapidly growing number of Americans who beginning in kindergarden have been duped into believing that socialism offers more than the free market place offers.

It seems quite possible CWII has started with a minimum of shots fired. As the commercial tagline urges: "You decide."

Good list, but add termination of state and federal welfare programs.

We should continue to provide emergency medical care administered just prior to returning them to the other side of the last border they crossed.

Easy to get around. You transfer through a 3rd party bank in a “safe” country and then move it to Mexico

The tariffs can be done by E.O., I think taxing the transfers requires the cooperation of the Democratic House of Representatives.

Tariffs can be imposed by executive action but wouldn't a tax on wire transfers require legislative action? Congress is not going to do anything to defend this country as long as President Trump is in office.

The problem is not Mexico. The problem is our congress, mostly the Rats, who would never allow such proposed laws to pass.

And at the end of the day, the problem is the collective us, who elect these traitors.

Constitution says excise taxes are the domain of Congress. Since it’s a tax, I must originate in the house.
Slim and none.
