发帖数: 6571 | 1 Compelling Mexico to Pay for the Wall
Introduction: The provision of the Patriot Act, Section 326 - the "know your
customer" provision, compelling financial institutions to demand identity
documents before opening accounts or conducting financial transactions is a
fundamental element of the outline below. That section authorized the
executive branch to issue detailed regulations on the subject, found at 31
CFR 130.120-121. It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment
of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their
country year after year. There are several ways to compel Mexico to pay for
the wall including the following:
On day 1 promulgate a "proposed rule" (regulation) amending 31 CFR 130.
121 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.
On day 2 Mexico will immediately protest. They receive approximately $24
billion a year in remittances from Mexican nationals working in the United
States. The majority of that amount comes from illegal aliens. It serves as
de facto welfare for poor families in Mexico. There is no significant social
safety net provided by the state in Mexico.
On day 3 tell Mexico that if the Mexican government will contribute the
funds needed to the United States to pay for the wall, the Trump
Administration will not promulgate the final rule, and the regulation will
not go into effect.
Trade tariffs, or enforcement of existing trade rules: There is no doubt
that Mexico is engaging in unfair subsidy behavior that has eliminated
thousands of U.S. jobs, and which we are obligated to respond to; the impact
of any tariffs on the price imports will be more than offset by the
economic and income gains of increased production in the United States, in
addition to revenue from any tariffs themselves.
Mexico needs access to our markets much more than the reverse, so we have
all the leverage and will win the negotiation. By definition, if you have a
large trade deficit with a nation, it means they are selling far more to you
than the reverse - thus they, not you, stand to lose from enforcing trade
rules through tariffs (as has been done to save many U.S. industries in the
past).
Cancelling visas: Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Mexico is
totally dependent on the United States as a release valve for its own
poverty - our approvals of hundreds of thousands of visas to their nationals
every year is one of our greatest leverage points. We also have leverage
through business and tourist visas for important people in the Mexican
economy. Keep in mind, the United States has already taken in 4X more
migrants than any other country on planet earth, producing lower wages and
higher unemployment for our own citizens and recent migrants.
Visa fees: Even a small increase in visa fees would pay for the wall.
This includes fees on border crossing cards, of which more than 1 million
are issued a year. The border-crossing card is also one of the greatest
sources of illegal immigration into the United States, via overstays. Mexico
is also the single largest recipient of U.S. green cards, which confer a
path to U.S. citizenship. Again, we have the leverage so Mexico will back
down.
Conclusion: Mexico has taken advantage of us in another way as well: gangs,
drug traffickers and cartels have freely exploited our open borders and
committed vast numbers of crimes inside the United States. The United States
has borne the extraordinary daily cost of this criminal activity, including
the cost of trials and incarcerations. Not to mention the even greater
human cost. We have the moral high ground here, and all the leverage. It is
time we use it in order to Make America Great Again.

第二，即使我们假设所有这些措施都能实现，这也不是“Mexico pay for it”,
这是美国收了钱，自己pay for the wall. | c*******4
