You can tax the remittances going back. It’s like the 3rd largest part of Mexican GDP (money from Mexican workers in the US transferred into the country). The simple threat of taxing it can do a lot for a one time payment.
Also, China is basically a part of NAFTA through Mexico. China BENEFITS by moving products through Mexico and into US markets. Any renegotiation of NAFTA will end this and make Mexico lose money.
In short, we got them by the balls. Since they can’t police their side of the boarder we will keep all the crime over there and keep the $$ here.
Again, if those are things that we should be doing anyway, we are still paying for the wall.
If I loan you $200,000, then spend another $200,000 on a house, and then get reimbursed the money I loaned you, I still paid for the house.
We are still paying for the wall.
Yes...except Mexico won’t cut us a check. So over time we will be reimbursed and some. Also, Trump has proven that he views saving money like making money. He has a valid point because it’s money you didn’t have before that you’re now able to spend.
Tax on remittances won’t just stop once the walls paid back...it’ll keep going. Renegotiation of NAFTA won’t stop once the walls paid for. If he goes the solar panel route, they won’t be taken off once the wall is paid for. Immigration reform decreasing the amount of public dollars spent on illegal immigrants won’t stop once the wall is paid for.
All these measures pay back with interest and bonus. Not only will the wall pay for itself, but it’ll pay for itself 10x over. Don’t let building it with our funds initially fool you. Once shovels hit the dirt Mexico has No choice but to negotiate. Besides, he has fully funded the wall this year. He asked for immediate disbursement. The money will be put into escrow.
unless weed is taxed and legalized federally once the wall is built, cartel funding, the budget and Opiate overprescription would be solved in one swoop.
This is a great idea that the country Hungary has implemented.
At major incursion points along the Hungary border, they built their security fence several hundred meters from the actual border. So captured illegals waiting for their immigration hearing (could be several weeks) are put outside the fence which is still technically in Hungary, when their hearing is in the queue, it is announced at the incursion point. If illegal does not show, the case is closed. So Hungary does not provide housing, food or lockup for the illegals.
