This thought has crossed my mind many times.
We absolutely can make them pay for the wall.
Taxing 25 billion a year that is sent back to Mexico would be easy pickings.
Americans are largely unaware of the vast global economy they maintain via remittances. Roughly a quarter of a trillion dollars is sent in to the global economy every year— this is what we are directly aware of.
For many nations, including Mexico, remittances from the US are the number one economic input.
This is why it is rather absurd to pretend America is not exceptional. We fund a huge number of global economies.
We can demand cooperation on this vast enterprise or we can tax it or even shut it down. We easily have power over remittances.
I would like to start sending a bill to the UN for using our military as the worlds police force.
A trillion a year payment to us would do just nicely.
Taxing 25 billion a year that is sent back to Mexico would be easy pickings.
at 10%, that is 2.5 billion, probably only 2 billion after avoidance...
4 years - 8 billion dollars, close the amount needed to build the wall.
After building the wall use the money to patrol the damned wall and up keep.
And that is just ONE country, I am sure all the other countries that are illegal offenders will add another 500 million to the pot per year...
When a dollar is worth a peso or less or nothing this is meaningless

And we are defenseless .... no Congress, no Senate and every MSM outlet leading Obamas Charge
I will relax slightly when Laz tells me it’s OK and the count down is complete!
