Tax remittances. Easy.
Every single illegal captured in the US should cost the Mexican government $10k or so. Which would go to fund the wall, and pay for the employees which will all be illegal immigrants. Paying off their debt to the US public.
Simple. Impose a tax on every electronic money transfer wired to Mexico by the illegals working here.
I'll bet The Donald just smiled.
I have been saying this since day one.
It’s like my daughter in college. I pay for her rent.
If she were to take something of mine, I’d just deduct it.
She wouldn’t have any say. That’s how it is on the receiving end. It has always been this way.
This is only considering foreign aid, there are a lot of other ways this could come about.
I can’t believe how easy-peezy this is to explain, and how Trump and the media are blowing it.
And Trump will make it worth their while. He has a point about mutual interests.
Can anyone find an English translation transcript of the Mexico President’s remarks , there with Trump today ?
I cannot
If Trump can deliver 5/10 items in his speech, he would be the most conservative president in a century. No more blanket amnesty to millions of illegals. Breaking that precedence of amnesty is worth 10 Nobel prizes.
my guess it will be paid by a tax on money transfers Mexico so that let say some one buys a money order to send to a relative in mexico there will be a 5 % or more charge.
Priceless! Love Trump! Great speech in Arizona!
It’s obvious watching some of the news shows this morning that the Hillary campaign hasn’t yet prepared the talking points for the media.
I watched NBC for a moment this morning. Matt Lauer had Tim Kaine (the beta male VP choice of the dems). On the Trump speech, ol Matt did the typical prevaricating NBC thing bye teeing up Kaine with the statement “Trump says they didn’t bring up who is paying for the wall - yet the Mexican president said they did”
What Trump said was “We didn’t DISCUSS it” - in other words the Mexican President brought it up, and Trump said “it isn’t up for discussion”.
But Lauer couldn’t help himself - trying to help Kaine - who went into a 5 minute diatribe about how week it was to “not bring up who is paying for the wall”
It’s how they dishonestly roll, but it shows what a puss Kaine is to talk to a BS lie hoping that nobody was paying attention to what was actually said.
Trump needs to drop the “they will pay for it” mantra. This is our country and our border. It is OK for the U.S. to pay for the wall.
I’ll donate a hundred bucks if I can have my name on one of the bricks.
Based on what I heard yesterday, here’s what I think happened...
Trump negotiated an agreement where Nieto would get a few billion in aid for, let’s say, “infrastructure.”
Those infrastructure funds would be “earmarked” for a wall.
From CNN today:
“’Who pays for the wall? We didn’t discuss,’ Trump had said when asked by a reporter during a news conference following their meeting in Mexico City. ‘We did discuss the wall. We didn’t discuss payment of the wall. That’ll be for a later date.’
But Peña Nieto later claimed the two had discussed the wall and who would pay for it — and he had ‘made it clear’ to Trump it wouldn’t be Mexico.
‘At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall,’ Peña Nieto tweeted, after their meeting Wednesday.”
(Hope I got the quote marks right...)
So...
That way, Trump can continue to say that Mexico will pay for the wall, and Nieto can say that Mexico won’t pay for the wall.
Both sides played a form of politics. Both won.
For the record: I am not yet sure who I will be voting for. I am, however, a dyed-in-the-wool constitutionalist.
