Trump will illegally confiscate people's money to "make Mexicans pay"?

It would be impossible to implement. It's unconstitutional. It's an insult to voters' intelligence. These objections apply to most of Donald Trump's ideas, including his latest scheme. The Washington Post reports:

"Donald Trump says he will force Mexico to pay for a border wall as president by threatening to cut off the flow of billions of dollars that immigrants send home to the country.

"But the feasibility of Trump's plan is unclear both legally and politically, and also would test the bounds of a president's executive powers in seeking to pressure another country."

Stay on topic, or this thread will be moved to the war zone, where you will find all threads that devolve to back and forth insults.

Could he be planning on hijacking the US mail?
 
Trump said he would threaten to change a rule under the USA Patriot Act anti-terrorism law to cut off the funds sent to Mexico through money transfers, commonly known as remittances.

The threat would be withdrawn if Mexico made “a one-time payment of $5-10 billion” to pay for the border wall, he wrote.

“It’s an easy decision for Mexico,” Trump said in the memo, on campaign stationery emblazoned with “TRUMP Make America Great Again!”
