Congressman Introduces Border Wall Funding Act Of 2017 To Levy 2% Tax On Remittances To Mexico

[Steve_McGarrett]

Great news. We can get this Wall built by doing this. It's a given that Wetbacks send money back to their families in Mexico. This is just using good ol' cotton picking common sense in order to get Trump's main campaign promise become a reality. Kudos to Mike Rogers from Alabama for introducing this patriotic bill that will help America become great again!

I agree. Let the illegals pay for the wall. Bout damned time they pay for something.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

2% ..? Fuck that!!! How about 20%?

 

[Correll]

Congress needs to do something to build the Wall, and fast, or they will be FUCKED.

Isn't this the same Republican Congress that has overwhelmingly signed the Grover Norquist no tax increases pledge?

I'm sure then you don't care that this would not be just a tax on illegal immigrants in the US.

Between The Wall Funding Act of 2017 and Ted Cruz's 'El Chapo Act' bill, the Wall will get built.

We should have been taxing those remittances all along.

We should have been taxing those remittances all along.

Why? Why would you impose a special penalty on an American, with family in Mexico, who wanted to help them by sending them money?

And in 2021 the wall will not be finished because the New Democratic President will halt the subject. Now I know you will laugh, but Trump is a one term one hit wonder and will be gone by January 2021 and your wall will never be built!

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This won't pass

A wall that the American people do not want to build. A wall is a waste of money. This bill should be deep sixed, burned and buried.

Yes, Americans want the Wall to be built. Protecting our sovereignty with the Wall is paramount.

You tell me. If law enforcement tracks money going from the US to Mexico, is the money sent by an illegal labelel Illegal!!! ??

The Texans want the Wall, just not particular politically correct lawmakers who are sensitive.

How will they separate LEGAL CITIZENS AND LEGAL GREEN CARD HOLDERS sending money to Mexico from ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS sending money to Mexico?
