Just read a suggestion that tolls be put on all roads between Mexico and America. The money would be used to pay for the wall.


Not a bad suggestion. Tolls have been used for quite a while to pay for road improvements.


What do you think?

I'd want to see the details, but it's not a bad idea in principle.

I like TheDonald's plan to put a hefty tax on wire transfers from the US to Mexico. they are here to take money out of our economy and to send it to Mexico.


there should be some remuneration for that privilege.

Yeah this is the best idea in my opinion but it doesn't get as much air time as some of the more blunt ended methods. Not controversial enough I guess.

Good idea. And it wil probably be paid mostly by Mexicans. I can't imagine any American being brave enough to bring their car into Mexico.

This is why everyone needs to chill out, and wait instead of micro-managing every little detail.

Trump thinks outside of the box. So when says things like Mexico will pay for the wall ... people apply it to thinking inside of the box and suppose he will slap the Mexican president around and take his lunch money. That's not how Trump thinks.

That's good but there aren't millions of U.S. citizens living illegally in Mexico sending money to their relatives in the U.S.
