About time. Put an end to the constant abuse of America and taxpayers from other nations.

Law would cut off aid to countries that refuse to accept illegal immigrant criminals

A proposed law that would punish countries that refuse to take back their illegal immigrant criminals is two years too late to save Casey Chadwick, but the Texas congressman behind it figures it’s the least Washington can do.

Chadwick was murdered in 2015 by Jean Jacques, an illegal immigrant from Haiti and one of thousands freed onto U.S. streets each year after they serve prison time because their homelands refuse deportation. But a proposal by Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, the Criminal Alien Deportation Enforcement Act, would force such countries to take back their citizens or risk losing foreign aid and travel visa privileges.

“The problem is hundreds of Americans are being robbed, assaulted, raped or murdered every year by criminal aliens who are then released back onto the streets because their countries of origins refuse to take them back,” Babin said. “I have personally met with a number of these victims, or if the victim is deceased, I have met with their families. It is heart-wrenching.”

Chadwick’s case is among the most egregious, Babin said. Jacques was sentenced to 60 years in prison last year for stabbing Chadwick, 25, to death in her Norwich apartment. The killer had been in the U.S. illegally since 1992, had already spent 17 years in prison for attempted murder and possession of a firearm without a permit.

He was not deported after serving time, but it was not for lack of U.S. effort. Jacques was listed as a passenger on three charter flights to Haiti in June, August and October of 2012, but each time the Haitian government refused to repatriate him.

How much money the US gives some countries is wildly inflated. For instance, the US gives Mexico less than 60 million. That's nothing compared to the many, many billions in trade.

Good, cut Israel off now.

You failed to include the remittances sent by legal and illegal immigrants here. In 2014 alone, $25 billion.

No one is cutting off trade.

Sounds like you think Mexico doesn't need U.S. money. Trump will probably put a stop to that aid and put the $60 million towards the wall.

1. "The Bank of Mexico tracks how much the country receives in remittances on a monthly basis. In 2015, Mexico took in nearly $25 billion in total, including from countries besides the United States. But most of it was from the United States. (According to Pew Research, 98 percent of the remittances received in 2012 were from the U.S.)"
The numbers behind Donald Trump’s threat to block money from being sent back to Mexico


2. "Remittances totaled more than oil income
Money sent from abroad came to $24.8 billion last year, up 4.75%"

Looks like a gun to Mexico's head if they don't pay for the wall....

If someone comes here, makes money and sends it home, it's gone. Trump trying to stop that would be robbery. And that's a crime.

That money should be spent in the U.S.
That you find the siphoning off of 25 billion a year out of our economy acceptable tells me you're an idiot.
