Mexico can try an American entry fee and see tourist revenue plummet. Mexico needs the U.S., not the other way around.

All Trump needs to do is end ALL U.S. assistance to the Mexican Government related to "The War on Drugs", and build the wall. No guns, no training, no funding of any sort. If needed we could even tax, or completely shut down all wired money transfers from the U.S. to Mexico.
The unchecked drug cartels will flush what is left of their shitty government down drain.

If Mexico charges an entry fee, why not just redirect that revenue to paying for the wall? That'd be a far better protest than whining about it.

How does Mexico charging a fee pay for the wall the U.S. is going to build?
[–] ShinyVoater ago
Simple:
Mexico charges any Americans entering the country a fee
Mexico pays the total amount of the fees collected and no more
Thus:
Mexico technically pays for the wall, but
In reality Americans do, meaning
Everybody's promises are technically kept

I don't see why not. If you have ever traveled to other countries, you will know there is a departure tax. I and many million others have paid it.

Go for it, faggot. You'll just lose loads of American revenue!
