Even his idea to build a fence and send the Mexican government the bill to pay for it is completely moronic.
I agree the fence needs to be completed and the border secured. But the idea that the Mexicans are going to help in this matter is loco.
Just because they won’t pay is no reason to not send them the bill.
Agreed. One of the few TRULy jarring and cognitively dissonant things Trump has said so far. I submitted an editorial cartoon idea on this very subject to a cartoonist friend of mine just last week. But it COULD work if it employed enough Mexicans for a long enough time.There would inevitably be a lot of deal-making and tax write-offs of course.
All you need do is tax the billions of dollars Mexicans send home every year.
That tax would be an indirect way of making them pay for the fence, or wall.
I agree the fence needs to be completed and the border secured. But the idea that the Mexicans are going to help in this matter is loco.
Nonsense. Apparently you haven’t flown much lately. A Mexican border security fee for those crossing would be completely transparent and no biggie.
loco to you maybe, which is why Trump has ten billion dollars and you have an illegal neighbor.
Mexico makes tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars in trade with the US. I am pretty sure Trump will find a way to skim a little off the top of that to build the Fence. And then there is the tens of billions in remittances. The money is there what is lacking is the will.

You nobodies calling an extremely successful business person moronic is projecting.
Trump already explained many times that Mexico is going to be taxed greatly for what it brings into this country and those taxes are going to pay for border security.
He also said he will impose a tax of 35% on Ford Motors if they building their 1.2 billion plant in Mexico and not the USA.
But keep on with the ‘moronic’ cries. It’s fun to watch how truly stupid the Trump/Cruz tolls can be, Because people on FR are a lot smarter than the trolls think and they can see exactly what the trolls are trying to do and watch the trolls fail miserably trying to do it.
