But will they approve it?
There's not much to get, either way Americans pay under this plan.
Mexican goods are taxed, those costs are pushed down to American Consumers, the goods sell successfully and thus Americans funded the wall.

Mexican goods are taxed, those costs are pushed down to American Consumers, the goods don't sell and thus Americans fund the wall b/c the govts plan for resources never pans out and we are stuck with the bill since we built the wall with our tax dollars.
And if the mexican goods do not sell, then that really blows a hole in the idea that mexico pays for the wall! They can't pay for it if the goods don't sell...and whether we are given the choice or not seems to be "moving the goal post" so to speak. The campaign promise was never: As your president, I pledge to give Americans the choice of funding the wall or not.
And we will go back to buying 'made in America'. It'll cost more at the register but in the long run we'll save money- illegal health care, education, etc.
Not sure I'm in favor of the plan but...
OTOH, taxing western union money leaving the country for South America is brilliant.
Who do y'all think are going to pay for the wall? Put a tarrif on Mexico
And if Mexican goods become to costly then BUY AMERICAN. It amazes me
How people want the wall but then complain that we might have to pay
For the wall.
It really is brilliant. Economically dollars leaving the US to be a part of someone else's economy is worse than someone burying money in their back yard.
This is one of the only true ways to make Mexi-cans pay for the wall...though technically still not Mexi-co...and I don't think there is enough to pay for the wall, not even a great portion of it either.
