Mexico says that it won't pay for wall

I read in the news today that Mexico won't pay for the wall,so who will.I smell a big bill for U. S. taxpayers.

LOL!

Mexico is already paying for the wall due to jobs they lost that went back to the U.S. and also the loss of dollars sent back to Mexico by illegals we have now deported.

From now on Mexico will be paying more and more as the illegals are sent home and can't get back.

In the end they'll have paid enough to build FIFTY walls.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Like I said...hook, line and sinker.
 
The majority of Americans want illegal immigration curtailed, so,

The majority of the descendants of the great USA genocide against Native Americans want illegal immigration curtailed - you can't write Hitlerian tales as wild as this.

I think it's time y'all put your heads together and thought up a real doozy of an American plan, maybe some death camps, with ovens, really good ovens, the best ones ever, no cheap German imports, built right on site by American labor, it'll be the best death camp ever, it'll be made and run in America by true blue red blooded Americans!

You can borrow from the atrocities you have committed against Koreans, Vietnamese, Nicaraguans, Mexicans, Chileans, Indonesians, Laotians, Filipinos, Cubans, Argentinians, Haitians, Hawaiians, Chinese, Panamanians, people of the Dominican Republic, people of Russia, Yugoslavia, Guatemala, ... .

It'll be Trumpian in all its grandeur and pomp, mostly pomp, a lot of pomp, typical American pomp!

They have said that since last year
 
You want to tax the pittance that low-wage earners send back to their families in Mexico?
Take a wild guess- how long before those people find a way around that? I'm saying about a day after it's announced and you won't get a dime that way.

Amazing to me that there is so much interest in stopping these transactions, but little or no resistance to off shore corporations conducting business for our leaders, and major companies moving their headquarters to tax havens. Maybe it's just easier to understand?
 
We have heard this news for something on the order of 800 days in a row, it is going a wee bit stale...One would think that the Mexicans would stop being shocked that Trump meant what he said at the rallies, but NOOOOO....

And why is it Mexico's job to fulfill Trump's promises to his base? Trump made an unrealistic promise, Mexico ain't going to help him with it.

Let me ask you something, does ''America First'' mean American conservatives expect other countries to act like the US' mindless minions? If Trump is promoting America First, why shouldn't Mexico have a Mexico First policy and tell Trump to take off? Why would Mexico pay for this wall?

It just seems like Trump expects everyone else in the world to bow before his America First agenda and get screwed over without a complaint. Canada should accept an unfair trade deal because ''America First'' and Mexico has to pay for the wall because ''America First''. Other countries have no reason to serve Trump's base over their own populations. Its like when Trump wants to put tariffs on other countries' goods and then assumes that these countries will not put tariffs on the US' goods, that's not going to happen, if Trump tries to screw over other countries they will make moves to counter it and if he think its unfair, well tough luck.

When conservatives want to curb spending or raise revenue it's always the poorest segment of society they look at first. Cut welfare rates, cut food stamps, cut school lunches, gouge back from the most vulnerable, easiest targets. People that have no voice. Who's lobbying for the poor?
 
The one and only measurable skill trump possesses is bull **** artist...

Trump isn't anywhere near close enough to be a bull**** artist. That takes some smarts, Trump ain't got those.

Eisenhower was a good bull**** artist as was kennedy, Nixon, pretty good, Reagan was good enough to dupe his followers, Bush 2, about equal to Trump. Lots of material to work with in US presidencies.
 
Did you really think Mexico was going to pay? :lol:

You think these knuckledraggers did?

In other shocking news, gravity still worked today.

Was there ever a time when Mexico said "well because Trump said so, we'll pay for the wall."

Everyone does realize the commentary down there, they are all laughing at us.

Mexico maynot pay for it,but I'll bet alot of people born in Mexico work on it.
 
Mexico is already paying for the wall in lost jobs and lost income from illegals that Trump has kicked out.

Thank you Mr. President.......and keep kicking their dumbasses out.
 
Just wondering, why are Mexicans obviously not smart? When was placating a bully ever the smart move?

No they are spoiled. They are used to US leaders taking empty promises home and then ignoring the problem. Trump is not going to allow empty promises. We have a border for a reason, and you will honor it. And in the meantime we’ll decide how to spare you from having “X” million Mexicans returned to you who have learned in the USA that Mexico is a corrupt rat hole because of the very leaders their country elects.

Not our problem. You jumped our fence, we didn’t drag you over.

Trump is all about empty promises. Build the Wall! Lock her up! Repeal and replace!
Tell me this- on one side you have millions of people chanting bumper-sticker slogans, on the other side you have millionaire and billionaire businessmen and CEO's making YUGE bucks off cheap labour. Given that's its easy to placate the first group with words but the second group expects a return on their campaign-donation investment, which way do you see things going?
Your fantasies will never be realized. You will be placated.
 
In 2017 remittances to Mexico were 26 billion. That is worse than a tax because it doesn’t circulate in the economy all. It goes from pay envelope to Western Union to wherever.

A 20% tax would be a good place to start paying it off. Do it before California has a change of heart and steals it!
You can't possibly believe this idiocracy will work, can you?

You're going to tax all moneys leaving America?
 
what is to keep those remittances from first being sent to some place other than mexico before being forwarded to that destination
suspect such could be done for a LOT less than 20% of the amount being transmitted
Financial wire transfer entities will sprout-up to handle the transaction seamlessly, for not much more than the usual service fee.

Or like the Asians, they'll simply deposit into an American located branch of their foreign bank, avoiding all transfer fees, because they're not "sending" money, but rather they're "depositing" it in their local (American) branch.

For anyone to think less, shows a great naivete of finance & banking.

How you managed to equate deported Mexicans, with using American tax-payers' money to pay for Trump's wall, is truly a marvel of circuitous logic! :doh

Just that from illegal aliens that leaves by Western Union, bank transfer, whatever. We can’t stop them from mail8 g cash, but that can be a deportable offense.

I disagree.

Trump's skill is in identifying saps, then plying them with admittedly 2nd rate bull**** that no one else believes.

Saps? Who? They come in here, take jobs, use resources, pay little taxes because they claim 12 kids on their W2, and the money sent to Mexico circulates exactly zero times in America after they receive it.

One mans sap is another’s BOHICA.
