When Trump becomes POTUS, the wall will be built and Mexico will pay for it one way or another. You know it. I know it. The Mexicans know it. That is why they are whining so loudly. Their easy money gravy train is about to shut down. How can we do it? Hundreds of ways.
Institute a transaction fee/tax on all "envios de dinero" to Mexico? Mexican immigrants send $25 BILLION a year back to Mexico.
a small import tariff
Cut foreign aid.
Just the threat of these would get Mexico to say- No Problema!! Senor Trump!! México estará dispuesto a pagar por la pared! Pagaremos!!
I never thought about the money sent back to Mexico so I wanted see if your number was correct. Wow!
Mexico received $21.59 billion in remittances from emigrants in 2013, the
Bank of Mexico said. Nearly 74 million transactions were registered in 2013, with the average remittance totaling $292, the central bank said.
Remittances rose 3.5 percent to $5.34 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, compared to the same period in 2012, with 18.4 million transactions and an average amount of $285.30, the Bank of Mexico said.
Figures for the total amount illegal aliens sent back to their home countries is not easily available, but according to the Inter-American Development Bank,
all of Latin America received a staggering $69.2 billion in remittances from the U.S. in 2009 alone.
Illegal Aliens Sent $21.6 Billion in Cash Back to Mexico in 2013
A 10% tax on these 74 million transactions would generate $2.1 billion a year! Wow!
Another way without ANY effort to have Mexicans pay for the wall! 10 years @ $2.1 billion builds a $21 billion wall!
The actual cost for the rest of the border wall (roughly 1,300 miles) could be as high as $16 million per mile, with a total price tag of $15 billion to $25 billion. Rosenblum said the $15 billion low-end estimate is "probably an underestimate," because the parts that have yet to be fenced are the most difficult — the most dense and arid.
At $16 million per mile and with 1,300 miles to secure, the estimated cost would be $12 billion...
