So much for people saying it would be impossible to make Mexico pay for the wall.

Mexico won't pay for the wall with a tax like this, american citizens will pay it.

If you think companies won't make the consumers pay every extra dime of tax by just increasing the price of everything to cover it, you're kidding youself. They won't make an extra tax affect their own bottom line.  

I'm not kidding myself...

The price, any price, always ends up being paid by consumers (even if Mexico ended up "paying directly" it would impact in other trades to payback, as it'll in this)... taxes rising is always bad to everyone but the bureocrats that will pocket that money.
