Why not simply charge anyone entering the USA $100 from the Mexican border?


If there are about 20 million pedestrians, trucks, buses, cars going through various gates, at $100 a unit that would be 2 billion a year, or 6 billion over 3 years. Trump would have all the funding he needs to build a wall.

Of course, you would charge more for buses and trucks, and less for Pedestrians, but you get the picture. A formula could be made. Going to the USA for a wok visa, that will an extra $100 please. If you don't have it, we can take it out of your work check.

Problem solved. I'd like to see the left complain about this, as border security limits crime, hardcore illegal drugs, and human trafficking.

Could you imagine...lefties heads would explode. A big win for Trump and the USA, a campaign promise gotcha elimiated, and they lose out on a voting base in the long run.

Every year, about $12 billion in drug profits returns to Mexico from the world's largest narcotics market — the United States. As a tactic in the war on drugs, law enforcement pursues that drug money and is then allowed to keep a portion as an incentive to fight crime.

As a result, the amount of drug dollars flowing into local police budgets is staggering. Justice Department figures show that in the past four years alone, the amount of assets seized by local law enforcement agencies across the nation enrolled in the federal program—the vast majority of it cash—has tripled, from $567 million to $1.6 billion. And that doesn't include tens of millions more the agencies got from state asset forfeiture programs.

In Texas, with its smuggling corridors to Mexico, public safety agencies seized more than $125 million last year.

While drug-related asset forfeitures have expanded police budgets, critics say the flow of money distorts law enforcement — that some cops have become more interested in seizing money than drugs, more interested in working southbound than northbound lanes.

"If a cop stops a car going north with a trunk full of cocaine, that makes great press coverage, makes a great photo. Then they destroy the cocaine," says Jack Fishman, an IRS special agent for 25 years who is now a criminal defense attorney in Atlanta. "If they catch 'em going south with a suitcase full of cash, the police department just paid for its budget for the year.
