Maybe this was confused....https://criminalsandliars.wordpress.com/2018/07/02/mexican-exports-to-the-united-states-comprise-30-of-its-entire-economy/
That would be a little less than 10%, but we could tax the shit out of the rest of their exports too. Either way, we have them by the balls if we want to use the leverage.

Its ok, it's good news either way. Remittance payments should be heavily penalized, especially given the fact that Mexico is doing almost nothing to prevent the flow of Central Americans going through their country and nothing to aid in prevention of illegal migration to the USA. De-incentivization of one of the main reasons for these illegal immigrants coming here is a big step toward getting them gone. Reduces the influx pressure across the border and makes the job of our BP and ICE members easier. It's good policy. Mexico owes a lot to us. Living right next door to the biggest dog in the yard has its advantages and they'd be wise to not forget to count their blessings.
