Grugore (10-20-2018)
No Mexican is going to pay for the wall, ever
No, it won't grugore, because there will be now wall. America has been an economic giant since 1918. There is no need for a wall.
Mexicans earned that money in the U. S. and would be taxed by the U. S. government. That makes it U. S. tax dollars, not Mexico, paying for the wall.
I think we would see some new methods developed to send that money back to Mexico including vehicles legally crossing the border.
Mexican families do not get as much--very little of that would go to the Mexican government. I agree about the Mexican postal system, but workers make trips home regularly and could take it with them. They would have to tax the payments at 10% to get enough for the wall. The Mexican government getting less money does not mean Mexico is paying for the wall--it is still being paid for by U. S. taxes.
It costs Mexico money but that money does not pay for the wall. U. S. taxes pay for the wall (if ever funded). And it does not cost the Mexican government money because that money is spent by the families for living expenses--poor families owe little taxes. Mexican workers returning home have to be careful because their money is seized by civil forfeiture as possible drug money.
