A simple tax on wire transfers might offer the path of least resistance.

Well Jim, that's what most people on this board have been saying for over a week now. A 10% tax on wire transfers to Mexico for a limited term, let's say five years, would more than pay for the construction of the wall.

It's just that simple.

Or would push Mexicans to use other means (Bitcoin, black market means, etc.) to transfer funds back to Mexico. A 10% tax would alter behavior, no doubt.
