Different ways to fund the wall
I see a few ways to do it.
1 ) There are roughly 138 million tax payers in the USA. If taxes were raised on average $100 it would net $13,800,000,000 ( 13.8 billion dollars )
2 ) Simply put a tariff on all Mexican good being imported. Mexico has no choice as 85% of their imports come to the USA. End the Tariffs once the wall is built.
3 ) Since 2000, legal immigrants to the United States number approximately 1,000,000 per year. Okay, create a one time fee to become a citizen to build the wall, just like I had to pay the DMV of Florida something like $500 to get a new drivers license. 1,000,000 times say a one time fee of $500 would equal 500,000,000. Over the course of 10 years that's 5,000,000,000 ( 5 billion Dollars ). After ten years the amount would be 10,000,000,000 ( ten billion )
So there you have it. I listed 3 ways to do it. It can be a combination of them of just one idea by itself. Trump and the Republicans ( Mostly 30 or so Republicans in the house ) blew this chance prior to the mid terms. Now Donald must use an executive order power, which will last at least until 2020, and hopefully until 2024 to make the above happen.
