Thank you. I’ve mentioned it for a couple of years or so. It will either finance the wall, or keep $$$ in the USA. Or both.

Plus either way, it gets the attention of Mehico. They can put the tariff on all exports south of the border.

When their economic war on the U.S.A. became problematic, I have no problem using the same methods. Frankly, it’s a national security issue, essentially. Economic warfare.

Seriously, it is a brilliant idea. Somehow, regrettably, I missed your previous comments to this effect over the years.

Its hard to get people’s attention but one sure way to do it is through the imposition of major financial pain and hardship. In this case economic warfare is entirely justified. Why we haven’t made this clear to Mexico is beyond me because they are just not listening or taking us seriously.

When they wake up one morning and realize that the United States isn’t taking their crap anymore, and heavy financial pain is about to rain down upon them, they will turn that caravan before you can say Tijuana.

You are aware that tariffs are placed on INCOMING goods-imports not exports or money transfers.
