mrswdk wrote:What's the fuss about Trump? I mean, if you look at his overall policies he's actually a fairly moderate member of the current Republican pack. Literally the only reason people are going ape is because he said there should be a temporary halt on Muslims entering the US. That one quote is being used to turn him into the next Hitler, which is kinda ridiculous.
Obviously what he said re Muslims is extreme, but you have to ask yourself: what is his appeal? His appeal is that he is not one of the Washington inside crowd who have been screwing things up for years and years now. People have seen a long line of Establishment politicians come along and fail to do anything to improve the situation of ordinary Americans, and during this current election season they are rejecting the Establishment in favor of non-Establishment candidates (Trump and Sanders).
You can bitch and moan and support Clinton all you like, but you are sticking your fingers in your ears and ignoring the discontent of millions of Americans. If you don't want people to support outsiders then your focus should be on ensuring the insiders do the job which they are supposed to. At the moment, they are not.

I'm fascinated by your desire to see the US economy crippled and government spending go through the roof, but does your hatred of immigrants really justify the practical consequences?

Just tax immigrant labor from Mexico and slap down a few tariffs, and or put a 10% wire transfer fee on all money sent to Mexico from the US.
Let Mexico pay for it.

So it's about implementing a discriminating law which focuses on one specific minority? Is that even legal over there? I know it would be unconstitutional this side of the pond.

it's pretty damn difficult for any other nationality to enter the US illegal (I guess, other than Canadians)
after a quick google, I found this:
Now, I trust a infographic with no sources as much as a trust a person pretending to be a chinese woman on a Risk-like online website, but I doubt this is that far from the truth. Mexicans make up the majority of illegal immigrants by a wide margin I would reckon
I'm not saying I agree with the legislation...I think it's counterproductive, but if I were to support stopping illegal immigration, I would start with La Mexique

Mexican labor should be taxed just like anyone else's. We don't need new laws in this respect, but rather just to enforce laws already on the books.
As for setting a wire transfer fee regarding money going from the US to Mexico, there's nothing wrong with the United States establishing a cost to do business in it's borders. If you have a problem with limiting this just to funds transferred to Mexico, the fee could expand to all money sent out of the US via wire transfer. That means that instead of the $1.35 billion we would gather from money sent to Mexico, the United States would collect $12 billion a year, more than enough to build a wall.
It's not racist or discriminatory. Every other country has programs like this in place, and the United States is more than in it's right to do it.

Your proposed tax on just Mexico and Mexican immigrants does seem discriminatory, what with the discriminating and all. But hey, that's just pointing out the obvious.
How do you feel about the idea of "No taxation without representation"?
