What happened to the idea of taking a percentage of remittances that people send to Mexico?

The USA is a major source of income to Mexico both legal and illegal why would Mexico want that cut off?

Yes! Start taxing the remittances and put it in a “go build me a wall fund”.
Why isn’t POTUS doing this-could be done by an EO?

it is not possible

there is no way to confiscate such funds and if there is an attempt, the numerous other ways to transmit funds internationally will pick up the slack

If you’d read the article you’d know.

“Mexico, Trump has committed, will somehow end up paying for the border wall, whether that comes in the form of taxing remittances to have illegal aliens from Mexico actually pay for the wall or tariffs on imported goods from Mexico.”
