GOP Solves Mexico Wall Funding

This is a great idea and one of many means by which Mexico can be compelled to pay for the wall.

Border Wall Funding Solved: GOP Pushes for 2% Fee on Money Immigrants Send Home

A group of House Republicans on Thursday introduced the first major bill to fund President Trump’s border wall, saying the government could collect billions of dollars by imposing a 2 percent fee on all the money Mexicans and other immigrants send back home.

Estimates vary, but remittances from those inthe U.S. to their relatives back home could top $130 billion a year. A 2 percent tax could net more than $2 billion a year, if it applied to all money regardless of who’s sending it.

“This bill is simple – anyone who sends their money to countries that benefit from our porous borders and illegal immigration should be responsible for providing some of the funds needed to complete the wall,”​

Lol the GOP calls for increasing taxes. I guess they're mollified by this being unenforceable.

no way will it pass muster... imo

Why should the legal, law abiding visa holding immigrants, who did every thing right, who followed all the laws, have to fund Trump's Mexican Wall?

Laws are suppose to be JUST..... and that ain't!

 

[ScienceRocks]

Make the rich businesses that hired the illegals pay for the fucking wall. Deal?

No worries. It's just another fantasy the rubes have dreamed up because they have no idea how governing works.

What if person in question is in America illegally? Does it change the legitimacy of this proposal?

Countries all over the world charge such fees, so why are we not allowed to do so?

We should and will do something of this sort to fund the wall.

No, confiscate their businesses and send them to prison.

So the government doesn't even know they exist? That makes it extra easy to tax their remittances, huh?

Kind of like the taliban knows how to take over a country in the early 1990's.

Kind of like brains surgeons know how to operate on a brain.

What the hell is your point Matthew?

Just to make some half ass comparison to the Taliban?

BTW, the Taliban did not exist in the early '90s.

The most often-repeated story and the Taliban's own story of how Mullah Omar first mobilized his followers is that in the spring of 1994, neighbors in Singesar told him that the local governor had abducted two teenage girls, shaved their heads, and taken them to a camp where they were raped. 30 Taliban (with only 16 rifles) freed the girls, and hanged the governor from the barrel of a tank. Later that year, two militia commanders killed civilians while fighting for the right to sodomize a young boy. The Taliban freed him. Mullah Omar started his movement with fewer than 50 armed madrassah students in his hometown of Kandahar.[74][75]

In the beginning the Taliban numbered in the hundreds, were badly equipped and low on munitions. Within months however 15,000 students arrived from the madrassas in Pakistan. The Taliban's first major military activity was in 1994, when they marched northward from Maiwand and captured Kandahar City and the surrounding provinces, losing only a few dozen men. When they took control of Kandahar in 1994, they forced the surrender of dozens of local Pashtun leaders who had presided over a situation of complete lawlessness and atrocities. The Taliban also took over a border crossing at Spin Baldak and an ammunition dump from Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. In the course of 1994, the Taliban took control of 12 of 34 provinces not under central government control. Militias controlling the different areas often surrendered without a fight. Omar's original commanders were "a mixture of former small-unit military commanders and madrassa teachers."​

I'm a Republican and I don't think that. I'm for throwing employers in prison if they hire illegals

Cool. But you're a peasant so Dump and the GOP could care less.

 

[EverCurious]

I'm an elite and I'm fine with throwing my fellow 1%er's who hire illegals in jail. Hell make them pay a massive fee toward the wall whilst one's at it.

Clarification: :Though the stupid states need to lay off forbidding them from asking to see citizenship proof/visa proof - I think CA was doing that to employer's

It sounds just to me. If they don't like it they can just stay home.
