How can Trump make Mexico pay for the wall? Genuinely curious.
They won't wright a check
He'll just tack a wall tariff on goods coming from Mexico.
You can get peeved, but since there is a huge surplus in your advantage, you won't want to have a trade war.
He'll probably use the same strategy for the Canadian wall
It says so on his website, but of course the media never reports it. He'll threaten them with tariffs, increases on fees, raised taxes on remittances, etc. to the point where it'd be more expensive for them NOT to build it than to build it.

tarrifs. anythign made in japan gets hit with a mega tax.
that money goes to build the wall.

Oh and that will cause companies moving there to move their factories back here.

Checked.
He will get rey mysterio to 619 it back our way

burrito tax

He can't. He won't. He's full of shit.

America is mexico's largest trade partner, what do you think will happen if we threaten tariffs that will cost mexico much more then the wall along with ceasing the million we give in foreign aid?
>The wall just got ten feet higher comment.
>>66393500
Tell the president of Mexico two things
1. You will cut foreign aid to mexico, $400-600 million per year
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_aid_recipients
2. You will fix the fact that you can build a car in mexico, ship it to the US to be sold and return 100% of the profits to mexico
Congradulations, the Wall is now built. If he refuses for some reason to build it then you cut foreign aid and jack the taxes from Mexican imports through the fucking roof and use that previously Mexico bound money to build a wall, only using U.S. workers to do so. Taking money and jobs that could have stayed in Mexico and bring them to the US.

Correction on the foreign aid, it's acutually around 200-300 million per year directly from the U.S.

Probly in pesos and cheap Honduran labor
>>66396333
remittances are another way to indirectly make them pay for it
>>66393500
Not trump.
The will of the American people, is your question.
And we can do whatever the Fuck we want to.

For the love of God, this. People who call him "literally Hitler" should at least read his fucking website.

Remove NAFTA
Place Tariffs on all Mexican goods coming into the States
The amount of revenue would bankroll the wall incredibly easy.
This would also devastate manufacturing in Mexico

>It says so on his website,
looked cant find, link plz?
>>66398770
jk found it
He is going to squeeze every last peso out of every good or service you country tries to bring to America
your cheap cellphones, all wire transfers, every fucking tortilla you make will be taxed
>>66398624
>Remove NAFTA
Please do.
>>66393500
A huge part of Mexican economy is trade and travel, even though it's a shit hole. We manufacture a shit load of stuff over there. Dropping a few tarrifs would cripple the part of the Mexican economy not based off of narco. And even that can be snipped by a determined legislature
>>66393500
I don't know, I don't care. I like Mexico, I don't see a big deal.

It truly amazes me that people legitimately believe that tanking the Mexican economy would result in LESS illegal immigration. You're just exacerbating the problem.
>>66399253
Why would you want NAFTA revoked? Genuinely curious.
>>66401246
That's why his policies call for a crackdown on it.
>>66393500
Wouldn't import tariffs be paid for by the American consumer?
>>66401246
There's people on this board that thinks that Mexico depends of the US economy even though total trade amounts to 9% of our GDP and the 2008 recession was largely harmless to us.
>>66401246
That's what the wall is for, dude.
>>66401519
People are price sensitive, Mexicans will need to keep their prives low to stay relevant. So no.
>>66393500
Indirectly.
Get congress to repeal NAFTA and add a small tax to imported Mexican products.
Some tax will be paid by consumers but a larger share will wind up getting paid by producers because the way the supply-demand curve is shaped for the kind of mass-produced goods we typically import from Mexico.
This i just one example. There's a ton of other stuff you could tax which would, in effect, take money out of the pockets of Mexican companies which do business in the US.

>1. You will cut foreign aid to mexico, $400-600 million per year
aka the 'fight the drug war on your side so we don't have to fight it in ours' fund, stop paying and we might as well make this country much more peaceful by getting off the cartels' backs.
>2. You will fix the fact that you can build a car in mexico, ship it to the US to be sold and return 100% of the profits to mexico
You're stupid if you think the profit of car sales goes to mexico, that's like thinking foxconn keeps apple's profits.
>>66396333
Do you mean made in China
>>66401390
Mexican people hate it at least as much as the American people, I'm guessing Canadians aren't happy about it too. So why does it exists? Because American, Mexican & Canadian corporate interests benefit from it. Getting rid of NAFTA would make us pretty happy too, so do that one please.

>You're stupid if you think the profit of car sales goes to mexico, that's like thinking foxconn keeps apple's profits.
this. Profits go to the 1%. 2 cents go to Mexican workers.
