Tax the hell out of any Western Union money transfers to Mexico.
That will either help pay for the wall or force illegals to ride or drive
themselves back to Metico to deliver their money personally.
And that gets them out of our country and back into their country.

Or they could put cash in the mail.
Or a black market develops where illegals pay drug cartels to deliver money back home

It will do nothing of the sort you imagine. Just as the mohammedans have an informal international money transfer scheme, the Mexicans will set up a similar one.
And, who is best positioned to set up this informal network -- the drug cartels.
Too high a tax will just enrich those already in the criminal underground. The beauty of Trump's 4% tax is that it is high enough to get the job done, but low enough that the average illegal will opt for the safety of a legitimate company instead of the unknowns of a criminal money transfer scheme. Raise that tax too high, and the criminal scheme starts to look better and better.
