Wire transfer from USA to Mexico run around $23 billion annually. 10% surcharge for 5 years on that would take care of the Wall.

“How is Trump going to make Mexico pay for the wall?”

Well, over 20 billion dollars a year is sent via wire and Western Union from the United States to Mexico. That is cash money that the US government never sees in the form of taxes or expenditures within the states.

How about we impose a 10% tax on money wired into Mexico from the US? That is a darn good start.
