You don’t want to create too high an incentive for them to drive the cash over or the cartels setting up another network.
2% is low enough they’ll pay it without noticing much.
2 or 3% is the question.

LET THEM drive it back over the border. Offer a reward to border patrol agents for every car full of cash they seize.
50% Lady. Same as you get taken off the top in Vegas. Western Union or whoever takes 50%, the Mexican government takes 12-15% and ...voila!...No more money to the Mex’s and the wall is built! They’ll go home then.
I was thinking the same thing.
But what if they buy a car with the cash, and drive south across the border, then sell the car to convert it to cash. I imagine there would be a lot of cars going into Mexico, and fewer coming out. Probably to be exported from Mexico to Cuba. Doesn't matter, we want the illegals out, let them ride out in style.
