Not really. You assume that ever money transfer to Mexico is done by an illegal. I'm sure that the bulk of it is done by businesses and legal residents. You will be taxing them as well.
Then again, what if the Taxpayers ended up paying for it? Don't you think securing the Border is worth paying for? How much does the Border Patrol cost the Taxpayers anyway?
But that's not what Trump is promising. He isn't saying he'll only secure the border, which is desperately needed. He's saying he'll do it at no cost to the U.S.
Net result, Mexico pays for it one way or the other.
Not if we're paying for it first.
Don't be blinded by TDS. Securing our Border should have been Job One decades ago, don't you agree? Obviously the Politicians from both Parties didn't agree or we wouldn't be talking about it today.
I don't disagree that the border should have been secured long ago. But pointing out that Trump's promises are idiotic and unworkable is not being delusional. Blindly believing everything he says is.
I was responding to the discussion regarding Taxing Money Transfers to fund construction of a secure Border Wall.
I have no idea what is unworkable or not, nor do I profess to. Taxing Money Transfers is one possible Funding source which denies a Wealth Transfer to Mexico and keeps the money here building Infrastructure and creating Jobs.
Do you want a Wall built to protect our Southern Border or not? Sounds like you are just fine with things as they are because you have an issue with Trump. Blinded by TDS is an accurate explanation.
The first issue is simply will it get done? So far the People we have running things are batting ZERO, that is why this issue resonates.
I am a Cruz guy first with Trump as my second choice. That doesn’t mean that I boo hoo Trump’s idea of actually building a Wall because the funding mechanism has to be figured out in regard to Mexico ultimately taking on the cost.
Get the Vaccine. Maybe you should get both Vaccines since Cruz has stated he wants a Wall built as well, although it won’t be as magnificent as Trump’s Wall. LOL
