Mexico will pay for the wall..

In the end they will

 

If they would just tax the heck of money remittance back to Mexico that would be a great start, or just limit it.

 

That would run many people out of her

Why would the government of Mexico be compelled to do this?

It would a tax imposed by the US on US Dollars going back to Mexico and other places south of the border

 

They sent back $26 billion dollars in 2017

So even Mexicans living and working here legally should have their income, after taxes, taxed again if they choose to send it home?

So Mexico is not going to pay for it, it will be a tax on  transactions for funds leaving the country. 

Will you want to apply this tax on all wire transfers? What about other countries?

They pay taxes on income earned? That's a new one on me.  Most if not all that work in the construction industry or landscaping get paid cash or a check and are 1099 and they never submit any taxes at the end of the year.

 

Yes it would be good to tax them on money sent back, We as US citizens have to pay taxes on everything, they should as well.

I can live with it if it happens.

 

I say concentrate on money being sent back to North American and Central America and South America only.

But your plan is going to tax US citizens as well. US citizens also send money back to their families.

I was talking about people here legally, who are already paying taxes. I think the issue you are describing has more to do with tightening restrictions on employers finding ways around taxes by paying under the table.

 

I've said before here I think one of the most effective way to curb illegal immigration would be to strictly clamp down on employers who give them jobs. If there is no way to make a living here, less people will come.

 

I was talking more about Mexicans with a green card or other legal visas to work  who send money home. Their money had already been taxed.

Don't bother it'll be a complete waste of money. People will just go over, under and around the wall. It would be nothing more than an expensive glorified Maginot Line.

given that logic, i suppose we don't need to bother putting one around a prison either.

If you tax your outgoing funds at 10% you will take 30 years to save up the money so we will need to increase the national debt to cover the construction. If you can make the 10% tax stick you will have enough money to cover the interest do you are good there, for now.

 

Over time, assuming that you are taxing undocumented workers, and that your wall idea works, the funds going back will dry up and you have succeeded in drying up your revenue to cover the interest and the taxes impact only LPR and US Citizens sending money back to friends and family, some to provide education, medicine, supplemental food and humanitarian relief like from the earthquake last year.

 

So to summarize,

We have a plan to destroy the environment around the Rio Grande, Tax Americans, Increase the national debt and take food out of the mouths of some of the poorest people in the hemisphere. That is a government scheme at it's finest.

 

Good job team! 

Now who will maintain the wall?

Unless you are proposing we surround Mexico with a wall and don't allow any entry or exit, the logic really isn't the same.

But we'll have a wall, and it will be glorious. We'll have no illegal immigration, poverty will be solved, white people will feel powerful again. It'll bring us back to happier times.

You were comparing putting a wall up on our border to a prison wall. You, my good friend, made the connection. Well, attempted to make a connection. I was merely pointing out how it fails horribly.

 

You also would have had the answer to your question if you had actually read the sentence you quoted. That should be a bare minimum requirement when you quote something, but I guess nobody is "perfect".
