Introduction: The provision of the Patriot Act, Section 326 - the "know your customer" provision, compelling financial institutions to demand identity documents before opening accounts or conducting financial transactions is a fundamental element of the outline below. That section authorized the executive branch to issue detailed regulations on the subject, found at 31 CFR 130.120-121. It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year. There are several ways to compel Mexico to pay for the wall including the following:

Every illegal sending money home via western union should get a free souvenir cinder block.
Brilliant. I would add, get the money first, then ship every illegal back to the southern most tip of South America—and make Mexico pay for that as well.
The article didn’t even mention a tax on out-of-country wire transfers.
Concurs with what I’ve been reporting here. He’s said this from day 1.
The wall isn’t going to be a physical wall. He’s going to make it so bad for Mexico that Mexico will put armed guards on the border to prevent it’s own people from crossing. They’ll build the wall - even if it’s virtual.
It used to be that remittances were second to the gas and oil industry being their number one GNP. Today, remittances holds the #1 slot. No way will Mexico consider building a wall that will bankrupt the country.
Need to think this through. What is to stop Mexico from confiscating American assets in their country - for example all those American-owned factories ‘taking jobs from America.’
The PATRIOT act should be torn up, completely.
Can’t disagree. But to use it for this purpose, I’ll take it. Let the Bushes, McCains and Grahamnestys chew on it.
Get the money, then tear it up!
That would be an act of war.
So far all the virtual fence stuff fails! The high tech components cannot withstand the climate. The drastic temperature changes, high winds blowing dirt. Most actually doesn’t work right from day one, shoddy equipment or contractors. It is common for that stuff to be down more than it works. Maintenance is expensive too, imagine what tech people charge to go out into the middle of nowhere to repair things- usually they don’t have what it takes so have to make more than one trip. It is crazy.
The most effective border security we have now is the Border Patrol horse patrols but the government doesn’t want to hear that. They want to spend $$$$$ on technology instead of buying more horses. Men on horse back can just travel into more difficult terrain, do it quietly unlike quads and vehicles.
We need a real security fence on the border, we need Border Patrol and or military patrolling that fence instead of patrolling miles North of the border. We need to make it difficult to cross and have penalties for even trying that are serious enough that people stop trying.
Solving the border issues is doable but it has to be a package deal involving strictly enforcing our boundaries, immigration laws, taking away the jobs (penalize employers until they stop hiring) and freebies.
Now we are doing one little thing and another with no overall plan. Of course it is not supposed to be secure now because our current government doesn’t want it to be and hasn’t for many years.
People have a right under international law to leave their country (but not to enter that of a country that doesn’t want to let them in).
This right was created because East Germany tried to keep its people in the country.
Mexico can’t legally fund the wall even at the risk of losing $24 billion/year.
What % of the factories in Mexico have to send these manufactured goods to the US. Go ahead expropriate the factory. 50% is a Mex company.
Mex played that game with oil years ago won’t work now.
not only would it be an act of war, it would put all the employees there out of work
I would prevent imports from any company ‘nationalized’ (most of them ship 100% of the products here)
“not only would it be an act of war”
Economics is never an act of war.
you don’t think there is such a thing as economic warfare?
You don’t think there is such a thing as economic warfare?
What do you think the A-rabs are doing to us right now with the low price of oil?
They will keep it low in order to drive US manufacturers out of business. Then they will raise it higher than ever before.
With energy independence we will have cheap and abundant supply. They don’t want that to happen.
