RE: TRUMP Executive Orders and a great first week..!!
Trump's intention to make Mexico pay for the wall is ridiculous. . If you build a wall on your property you do not have the right to demand payment from your neighbor.
You don't have to demand anything. Just because he said they will pay doesn't necessarily mean in cash. Payment could be by reverse subsidies, clawbacks, tariffs or any other means of payment. You could very easily get that off your neighbour after you built the wall. Easy no problem. Thanks for the comment. Stephen
The fact that he intends to make the neighbors pay for it (regardless of the way that he intends to do it) is what rattles me.
Why should Mexico pay for it is the real question. Tariffs, subsidies and similar measures can be countered by Mexico employing similar tactics which will only lead to a commercial war if it escalates. That is not a good thing for either nation.
By the way Mexico is preparing for such a scenario.
I can't tell you how afraid I am of any kind of war with Mexico, because no fear even enters into it. Their whole military and government is like the cast of "West side story" with flaming poo bags.
Well I meant to say "trade war" not an actual military confrontation.
You did say trade war, and I said ANY war. Mexico is not a threat to anyone but itself.
Way to pay attention. Go look again at where the money would come from.
The money will end up coming out of the US taxpayers and consumers.
The money for the welfare to support 30 million plus Mexicans already is. I'm all in favor of re-purposing that money. At least a wall ends. The ever growing collective maw of immigration criminals knows no limit.
