Build the wall and put the illegal immigrants on their side. And don’t forget all the criminals. You

He doesn’t have to.
We can take it out wireless transfers to locations in Mexico. (Not that I really favor that. Even an illegal should be able to hang to his money.)

We did, but in turn they did as well. It is lost revenue for Mexico.

Furthermore, placing onerous tariff import taxes on them means the goods produced there will never make it to our market. How long would the Japanese companies keep their factories open there if their products remained unsold after being produced? Furthermore, you could make it illegal for anyone to send private monies to Mexico.

Couple those all together and Mexico loses about half of all of their GDP.

You increase their pain even further by mass deportation, of not only Mexican illegals but all the illegals from countries to their south that they have encouraged to immigrate to America, back into Mexico.

How long do you think it would be before they start screaming uncle?

I live in a place that has a high legal alien population and was in a store that caters to the itinerant farm hands I noticed all sorts of posters advertising the sending of money to mom in Mexico. I would bet a 10 dollar fee on money grams to Mexico would more then pay for the wall.

Why?
That's terminal suicidal PC.

As an American Taxpayer, I don't get to hang on to a lot of mine to pay for the support of illegal Mexican invasion of illiterate disease ridden rejects.

According to Wikipedia, it was 417.8 million in 2013, and 971.3 million in 2014.

I’d be generous. He can hang onto every dollar or peso as he takes the next bus south of the new Trump Wall.

I frankly don’t even see the need, in the end, to ding Mexico for the wall, even though Trump talks that way. We would save it in welfare and law enforcement alone.

Yeah, saw that, too... I'm just hesitant to quote anything beginning with "wiki." But very significant if true!

“So shut up Calderon, until you and the rest of the Mexican political hierarchy clean up your own mess.”

Unfortunately, they ARE cleaning up a large portion of their mess by sending it north across the border. Our country is just stupid enough to allow that mess to come here in order to exploit cheap labor.

You are correct, however, at least we are spending our money to our benefit. Instead of just sending it to Mexico where we get nothing in return except the rejects of their society that they want rid of. Furthermore, it is money that Mexico cannot add to their GDP bottom line.

Besides there are plenty of other measures that can be enacted to assert more pain on Mexico's economy, such as making it illegal for any private monies to flow into Mexico, which would be disastrous to Mexico's economy.

There’s more than one way to address messes.

One is just to hurl things willy nilly into the dumpster, the other way is to sort through what you have and make the most of it. Useless and broken things still get dumped, but nothing of actual benefit.

The second way is more trouble, but it is also more gain.

Mexico would be forced to take stock if the USA weren’t such an easy escape valve.

“How about Mexico pay for refuge camps on their side of the border for all the illegal migrants sent there? They are their citizens after all.”

I’d rather the jobs went to US citizens, but in the name of being compassionate for all the libtards in our country, we hire the Central Americans who have gone through Mexico to cross our border to build the wall. Pay them the same cheap wages that they’d receive working in the shadows under the all the employers in the US that take advantage of them. To the Central Americans, it would be a high paying job opportunity, we’d get the wall built for record low labor costs, and not a dime would be sent back to Mexico. For their hard work and service, we could put those who worked on the wall on a fast track to citizenship. Heck, we could even confiscate the remittances meant to go to Mexico to pay the Central American workers. The ruling class in Mexico would go ballistic.

Now you’re talkin!!!

Give our criminals the option of exile, being dropped of in Mexico, and if they’re ever seen back in the U.S. they risk punishment by death. There would be 10’s of thousands of our inmates who are serving long sentences who would gladly choose exile over spending years rotting away in prison. The nation would save billions of dollars in incarceration costs.

“Absolutely. Mexico should be a rich country with a thriving middle class and opportunity for all. It could be so prosperous that Americans could be going there for opportunity!”

The goal of the Uniparty Globalists is to see a North America without boundaries. Mexico, Canada, and the United States all on the same economic scale with unrestricted commerce and travel between what were once those nation’s borders. But the ruling class and politicians (I repeat myself) will always fall prey for the power and wealth so easy to obtain once one ‘makes it’ into the club (Rubio is a perfect example of being a nobody who says all the right things, and then being enticed into that class) that rather than see society at large grow and prosper, they instead become fearful of losing their wealth and power, and deliberately choose to protect their little elite club at the cost of all else. We actually ALL could prosper, having the standard of living rise in all three countries simultaneously, but out of their greed and selfishness, the ruling class thinks that by lowering the standard of living in the United States, somehow that will raise that of Mexico. But really it’s much more simple than that, the ruling class, almost exclusively made up of sociopaths, believes their own lies, that is, thinking we are not capable of understanding the ‘big picture’, and that they know what’s better for us than we do on steering the course of history, when the reality is that they simply are sociopaths and narcissists.

They don’t have to. Just deduct the cost from any payments that I’m sure the US sends to Mejico.

Slap a 50% tax on any remittance to Mexico. That’ll pay for the wall in 24 months, maybe less.
