Honestly we should just annex Mexico, with force or not... divide it up onto states, execute all the drug dealers and corrupt police.. no more mister nice guy with corrupt criminal types... we need more warm climate to settle in... all we got is Florida... would be a great economic expansion project, national debt be damned... modernizing Mexico and having all that warm climate to move too... I'd quit my job and either join the Military or join a construction trade to help with it all.. or I wanted to back when I was really in my prime 10 years ago. This has been a longstanding view of mine...
With all the corruption in Mexico and with enough money on the table they will hand over Mexico to us in a heartbeat.
The remittance money is money they earned by providing a service how is that not private property?
First a tiny bit of history. The Bush administration along with the Federal Reserve and Mexican banks and government decided to make it easy for Mexicans (including illegals) living in this country to transfer money earned here back to Mexico. The program was called Directo a Mexico and the Bush Administration spent a lot of money and time promoting it. Yes, the Bush Administration not Obama. At one time the PowerPoint presentation to promote it was on the web. I read it. So when the economy was tanking, we had money flying out of the country which is currently in the neighborhood of $24 billion per Trump and most of it is from Mexican illegals not Americans of Mexican heritage.
The regulation 31 CFR 130.121 will be changed to redefine applicable financial institutions to include money transfer companies like Western Union, and redefine "account" to include wire transfers. Also include in the proposed rule a requirement that no alien may wire money outside of the United States unless the alien first provides a document establishing his lawful presence in the United States.
So it won't stop Mexican Americans from wiring money out or Mexicans who are working here legally, only illegals...but Trump says that's the bulk of the money.
Trump will ask Mexico to pay for the wall. Trump says Mexico will balk. Trump will tell them 31 CFR 130.121 will be amended not to allow illegals to do it. Trump says since it is approximately $24 billion annually these days and Mexico has no safety net program for their poor, Trump says he will tell Mexico to pay for the wall and if they do, then the US will tear up the amendment.
As previously mentioned Trump can also raise visa fees which he said could also pay for it.
Just like they are totally ignoring Trump's rhetoric about paying for his border wall.
That's the funniest joke of all. Mexicans still chuckle about that.
Trump has said he will cut off the Mexican remittances if they don't want to pay for the wall which he can do. The Mexicans won't be laughing then. Mexico needs us way more than we need them.
I do not give those corrupt idiots south of the border much credence.
Something tells me they arent losing sleep over you either-call me crazy.
lol
