Congress would have to pass it, and it would be sure to be filibustered in the Senate.

He could do it through Executive Orders, but would have to
go to Congress for the money, if needed.

No, you can't raise taxes or tariffs by executive order.

US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8:
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

This is not complex. This is easy. And there are so many things we could do to make this corrupt country comply and be happy to play by our rules for once.

One very simple way to get them on board would be due to new changes in border security. Every single vehicle, car, truck everything will be searched and inspected. This is for the safety and security of United States citizens.

The lines of traffic would be backed from Tijuana to Ensenada.☺ And do the same at every border entry point all they way down to the Gulf.
