I hate to rain on Mississippi’s parade, but (i) levying a tax on money transfers solely when they go to foreign countries would be a clear violation of the Dormant Commerce Clause (and thus could only be done by the federal government, not by a state) and (ii) the federal government, not the states, are in charge of our international borders. While it is true that federal law currently states that a fence should be built among great swaths of our border with Mexico, I don’t think that AZ or TX would be allowed build the fence themselves.
1. OK already has this law.
2. The fence can be built on any private land. All they need is a permit from the county. it must be built 60 feet from the actual border.
if the federal government prohibits the states from building the border fence on public and federal land, while the states are sitting on a billion dollars, Americans will go into an outrage!!!
