“...heavily taxing remittances sent to Mexicans by family in the US”
An excellent idea.
Billions of dollars are sent to Mexico by illegal alien insurgent criminal invading non-assimilating colonists.
I’ve been suggesting that for a long time.
Being as much of the money is made illegally-ie under the table with no taxes paid on it-it makes sense to use that money.
That would fit with the narrative of having Mexico pay for the wall.
Money from these invaders is the largest money making source for Mexico.
If millions of Mexican nationals marched back to Mexico and held their government accountable they could be a rich country.
The Mexican overlords completely run their natural recourses in a sloppy manner
Just successful enough for the many crooked billionaires to steal the money and keep the populous close to being in abject poverty
Easier to control that way.
It isn’t just the illegals. Legal immigrants and guest workers send a lot of money back across the border too. We ought to have very high taxes on all remittances, no matter who is sending them abroad.
