What impacts the consumer, impacts everyone. Remittance tax better if you want the tax route.
Dude! Seriously?
I’d switch from tacos to burritos and save the quarter.
Umm, lots of Americans eat tacos, so that wouldn’t be Mexicans paying for the wall.
Better to just put a heavy surcharge on wire transfers to countries that the highest percentage of illegal immigrants come from.
Tax all out-of-country transfer payments at 10 or even 15 percent.
That money is removed from our economy and never “circulates” around. The cash is lost to us forever. I’ve seen people at the local supermarket, lined up at the Western Union machine on payday to ship money out.
I heard something to the effect that money transfers total some $23 billion going into the Mexican economy, second only to Pemex oil sales.
....second highest source of income in MEXICO...
US dollars
Ping.
No!
How about a charge on the money all the Mexicans (illegal and legal) send back to Mexico? That comes right out of the pocket of old Mexico.

For sure that is one way to gather money back that has been earned in the USA. The adding of
a Tax on manufactured goods incoming from Mexico would ultamately be paid by the consumer as
the importers would just add that to the final price. Now if the final price becomes high enough
then maybe we’d see mfg plants being built state side.
JMO
SO MANY METHODS, SO LITTLE TIME!
And the stolen vehicles taken directly in to Mexico.
My grandmother left her old Chevy to my daughter. It was stolen and police reported it was in Mexico.
I like the way you think there FRiend
Burmashave.
Bigot bait ... go away.
Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY the bulls%$t that any tariff will make Mexico pay for the wall. If you buy something with the tariff then YOU are paying.
Take the money from transfer payments to Mexico.
More tariffs and less income taxes. We want that tariff we need that tariff. By voting for Mr. Trump we voted for protectionism. The Free Traders lost. Get over it.
lol no
You do not tax Mexican goods because we buy them thus we’d be paying them. What we do is this, we’re buying their oil for say $45 per barrel...we continue to buy it, but will only send them $43 and apply the balance to the wall...they would never refuse to sell us the oil at that price.....they need the sale a lot more than we do.
