Since Mexico’s second highest source
of income (after oil)is the tax they put on money wired to families from the US...it’s reasonable.

Sounds good - I’d make it $10000 for a first offence. If the same illegal gets caught a second time then double it, and double it again for each time after that: 20k, 40k, 80k, 160k etc etc

Initiate the tax
Take away Birthright Citizenship
End the refugee program, in its entirety, unless the US is directly responsible for their situation and ONLY after a Safe Place cannot be found/built.
EVerify w/ stiff penalties for employers.
Identify and locate all those using duplicate SSNs and pay a visit to their worksites/employers.
We won’t need a Border Wall, but it’d still be amazing to have.

Why are we giving Mexico and “other countries” (I assume this means central and south America) foreign aid to begin with? Cut all aid, and build the wall. I have no desire to foreign nationals here, but why am I supporting them in their own country as well?

With up some 400,000 illegal immigrants being apprehended at the border yearly, his tax could raise $800 million a year. U.S. foreign aid to Mexico is only about $320 million a year in all aid. At that rate it would fund the wall...in 78 years.

>>Charges a fee for all money transfers when receivers are outside the United States. Collected fees go to the border wall fund.<<
FINALLY!!!
Dang, I thought that was low-hanging fruit for Trump to pluck Day One!
But it s easier and more permanent as legislation instead of EO. It is just SLOWER to implement.

And tickets for blaring oom pah-pah music.

Not really a realistic plan.All that the 3rd World cesspools south of us would have to do is claim that "X" number of American tourists entering their territory did so in violation of their laws and fine us $100 million pesos for each one.
Far better to tax all cash transmissions/mailings (Western Union,US Mail,Fed Ex,etc) 10%...or more.

U.S. foreign aid to Mexico is only about $320 million a year in all aid. At that rate it would fund the wall...in 78 years. Yah,but a 25% tax on Mexican made cars,washing machines and TVs would pay for it in a couple of years.
