Kris Kobach says he advised Donald Trump on forcing Mexico to pay for border wall

By Robert A. Cronkleton

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who has advised GOP candidate Donald Trump on immigration, said Trump’s plan to force Mexico to pay for a border wall has provisions written by Kobach.

Trump’s proposal matches and expands on what Kobach said when he endorsed Trump in February, according to a story published Sunday on the Topeka Capital-Journal’s website.

When Kobach endorsed Trump, he lauded Trump’s strong stand against illegal immigration and said the United States could compel Mexico to pay for construction of a wall by shutting down the flow of remittances to Mexico from illegal immigrants working in the United States.

“Mexico will then have to make a choice: Either make a single payment of $5 billion to $10 billion to the United States to pay for the wall, or lose most of the $23 billion in remittances that Mexico receives every year from its nationals working illegally in the United States,” Kobach said at the time.

Or else.

And all in pursuit of the old "conservatives build walls" philosophy. How good can it get?

Of course, Kobach is an original architect of using cracking down on THEM 'illegal immigrants' to rally the base to vote republican in order to further empower our US native 1%.

Remittances would get through by going around through third countries.

Trump's stupid plan would fail and create economic disaster in both countries.

Interestingly, TheRump depends on lots of imported labor for his projects (such as they are -- he mostly licenses his name these days).

There will be no wall. But, it's very revealing how these morons want to crucify our neighbor (and ally) to the south.

trying to withhold remittances to Mexico, and good luck getting Mexico to pay for a wall. That's about as stupid an idea as low-brow Kris has come up with yet and he's chock full of stupid.
