How about they add a fee every time someone wires money to someone in Mexico?
Sounds like creative thinking. Instead of Congress voting to fun it, which we know they might, but never spend the money for it. Set up a fund, or hold a percentage of money transfers BY MEXICANS. Simple, promise kept, problem solved.
Hey, if he just throws all the illegals off welfare and sends them home I will call it PAID
They cost us $110 Billion PER YEAR
The wall will cost $11 billon
How about the media including Fox spend their time on something else like where Her Heinous has been and how many refugees we don’t need she’s going to let instead of going over and over on this wall. They sure didn’t pay any attention before when it wasn’t built. Gee, are they scared of something?
We don’t need a multi-billion dollar wall. We need to make life so inhospitable for illegal invaders that they no longer find it worth their troubles to come here in the first place.
How much foreign aid do we give Mexico? Deduct it from that.
Always nice to capture southbound bundles of cash, but go where the real money is. Freeze and seize the funds in Wells Fargo, HSBC, and other banks that knowingly have multi-billion dollar cartel accounts.
The beauty of seizing cartel cash in Banks is that Mexico can’t complain. They don’t benefit from cartel money......right?
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
That needs to be amended out of the Constitution.
Birthright citizenship may have been appropriate 150 years ago, but it creates millions of problems in the 21st Century - US children with illegal foreign parents.
What I suggest is:
The first sentence of Amendment XIV is hereby repealed.
Every child born in the USA after April 30, 2017 shall be born with the citizenship of their mother.
No foreigner may be granted US citizenship unless the foreigner is over age 22 and has paid United States federal income tax in excess of the value of one ounce of gold on personal US earnings in each of the prior four years.
[That’s to make it impractical/impossible for Democrats to give a scofflaw mom or her newborn US citizenship.]
[A wall isn’t going to work - there are bulldozers and ladders in Mexico.]
Tax remittances, $24 billion were transferred to Mexico last year
Trump is praying for answers to America’s problems and God answers.
“You are a sinner but that is human and you are sincere in your desire. I will grant you a request. Name it, my son.”
“God, I would like to see a wall between the U.S. and Mexico that will keep criminals and illegal aliens out. It will help the economy and keep the U.S. safer.”
That will require a great deal of planning, engineering, and materials. There are river beds, deserts, valleys, and elevations to contend with, as well as property rights. Setbacks will be needed for security purposes. Name something else for now.”
“Okay, help me understand the Democrat mindset.”
“How high do you want that wall?”
Trump will find a way to pay for the wall and let the Mexican president “save face.” He is a master at thinking outside the box. I expect it to be a combination of things which will be relatively painless, but will get the job done. He liked the Mexican pres. and I am sure appreciates the opening given to him by this man. He will reciprocate in some way, believe it. It is how Trump thinks and how he works. He will get what he wants but will not embarrass Nieto.
Tax wire transfers to Mexico and you will pay it off in no time.
Trump has said that Mexico will pay for the wall. Mexico has said they will never pay for the wall. I'm not sure what there is to negotiate because neither side can compromise without appearing to cave in on their original position.
