I'm not done watching it. But DeSantis and Vivek is hitting a lot of the issues out of the park.
DeSantis says he's going to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it. So I laughed and smh. But then he explains how he's going to do it.
Impose fee's on the remittances...... I suppose he's talking about all the Mexicans who send money back to Mexico to support their families there.
So, I looked it up.
How much money do Mexicans send home every year?
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The money that Mexican migrants send home to their relatives grew by 13.4% in 2022, totaling about $58.5 billion for the year as a whole, Mexico's central bank said Wednesday.Feb 1, 2023
At last count, the border wall would cost about $20 billion. So charging them 10% would net almost $6 billion per year. It would probably take 5 years to build the wall. So, it makes sense.
Would DeSantis be able to create that fee? I don't think he could do it on his own. It would take an act of congress, per the US constitution.
DeSantis seems to be big on remittance fee's.
