We have all been questioning the feasibility of some of Donald
Trump's plans/promises. Primarily the having Mexico build the American
version of the Great wall of China, mass deportation of illegal migrants and a
ban on Muslims coming into the United States. (My analysis is based on
Bill O'reilly's comments on the "O'reilly Factor").
The American wall: Trump intends to
have Mexico pay by holding hostage money going to and from America to Mexico.
To do this Trump will block remittances by legals and non-legals alike in
exchange for a lump sum of money. Remittances are money transfers from
people in one country (usually a family member) to another. As such,
Trump will try to enforce the near impossible by stopping the transfer of money
from Mexicans and other ethnic South American peoples from the United States to
their families over the border. The reason why this is neigh impossible
is because the Federal Government cannot monitor every money transfer at every
Western Union or similar to block it if the account the money being transferred
to is in a South American country. It is like the NSA trying to listen in
on everyone's phone calls, it will melt the computers. So this is an
empty threat to say the least, and even if this could be accomplished, banks
and other internet based money transfer systems exist or will come into
existence that can work around this.
Mass Deportation: This is never
going to happen. The reason being is that the Supreme Court has
stipulated that each and every illegal is entitled to a hearing. As such,
with over 11 million illegals in this country (including non-South American
peoples) it will take a very long time. According to news commentator and
Judge, Judge Andrew Napolitano, it would take 40 years to provide hearings to
all these illegals and that is assuming no other illegals come in.
Muslim Ban: This is also never going to
happen. It is impossible to ban a specific ethnic and religious group
under our discrimination laws. As such any action of this nature will be
blocked by the courts.
Conclusion: Trump will not be able to pass any
of these. It is impossible due to the courts and due to enforcement.
Tomorrow we will look at Bernie Sander's, so see you then.
