No? How exactly will Mexico deny the American government their ability to tax or even confiscate money transfers from the U.S. to Mexico? They can’t

Mexico receives over $30 billion a year in remittance from illegal aliens alone. They also receive aid packages totaling over $50 billion a year. That is money the Federal Government grants them. There is no reason what so ever that we can not and should not eliminate that aid AND tax the remittance to pay for the hundreds of billions of dollars that Mexican foreign nationals cost our country by simply being here illegally.

Enough of this nonsense that ‘we can’t do that!’ Of course we can. It is our country. We can do any damn thing we want to do.

Congress will fund the wall by taxing either the remittances or reducing, or better yet, eliminating the entire foreign aid program for Mexico.

Not my claim. I just said that Mexico will say NO. And then it will be up to President Trump. Good luck with that.

And I would assume that an industry will be developed to facilitate the transfer of funds to Panama or wherever and then on to Mexico. Or the money will just move by donkey. In any case there is really nothing that I can see to motivate the Mexican government to accept the Trump Deal. He will look foolish if he tries it. Fortunately, he is unlikely to get the chance.
