One of the biggest drains Mexican illegal immigrants have on the American economy is likely one that rarely gets discussed. While people lament immigrants for forcing down wages, stealing jobs, and draining tax dollars from the government, far less attention is paid to the money that they steal from the American economy outright to send back to Mexico.
It is exactly this practice that Donald Trump is planning to target in order to pay for his controversial wall.
In a two-page memo to The Washington Post, Trump outlined for the first time how he would seek to force Mexico to pay for his 1,000-mile border fence, which Trump has made a cornerstone of his presidential campaign and which has been repeatedly scoffed at by current and former Mexican leaders.
The proposal would jeopardize a stream of cash that many economists say is vital for Mexico’s struggling economy. But the feasibility of Trump’s plan is unclear both legally and politically, and it would test the bounds of a president’s executive powers in seeking to pressure another country.
In the memo, Trump said he would threaten to change a rule under the USA Patriot Act antiterrorism law to cut off a portion of 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 The threat would be withdrawn if Mexico made “a one-time payment of $5-10 billion” to pay for the border wall, he wrote.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!”
This common sense idea is already being attacked by those on the left, and even Barack Obama is getting in on the anti-Trump bandwagon. See his liberal scolding of the Republican frontrunner in the following video.

Truckers coming from Mexico with goods to deliver should pay a tax on the value of what is in their truck. Or they can turn around and take the goods back to the factory. They’ll pay O they will pay.
yeah yeah , me too agree with this , but it will never happen because Trump wil not be elected and even if he is elected he will not keep his word , it is going to be Hillary Clinton that they want to push because she has been very loyal to the jesuits.
