Actually is a smart idea
Make a server to train the next gen of politicians
Yeah
You should do that
USA has shocking levels of control over the Mexican economy and yet they do not utilise it due to it being a Brazil-style plutocratic welfare-warfare minority democracy.
Trump is the first man to actually put his foot down in this area.
Mexico sends heroin into the country while China sends in designer drugs, fueling the opioid epidemic
God bless him if he terminates NAFTA and builds the wall.
Remittance tax - best day of my life.
Putting a gun up to NAFTA is a great way of beating Mexico down a peg.
What do you mean by a remittance tax?
What I would give to have a copy of that phone call
But the wall has to be built BEFORE NAFTA & remittance taxes are introduced.
As it will shred the Mexican economy.
Which will energise illegal immigration.
@Operation_Downfall A tax on money sent to Mexico from people in the US
Definitely
Oh yeah good idea
We hold NAFTA hostage until they give us what we want and then we shoot it in the head after we've got everything they're gonna give
Think we should confiscate the assets of illegals here? (When they are deported)
Absolutely
Yep
@Operation_Downfall In an ideal world, yes. Their goods would be ill-gotten.
Didn't Ted Cruz want to fund the wall with money from El Chapo?
^
Yes.
Yep
Think so
He did
He introduced a bill for it a while back
Criminal asset confiscation is a great thing, really
Assuming it failed
Yeah
How does something like that fail
The fact that it hasn't already passed is a disgusting testament to the failure of democracy.
Seriously
Most bills don't make it to committee
Unfortunately
Sometimes I hate Republicans more than Democrats
The shadow budget of many agencies is actually FROM sequestering criminal assets.
