The new GOP tax bill proposes a 5% tax on international money transfers sent by non-citizens from the US.

The money comes from their employers. The riots in L.A. Started after ICE raided a Home Depot parking lot. These were not people dealing drugs but people waiting to get picked up to be taken to their construction jobs.

No
Riots started because of funded Anti-American paid protesters,

So you believe this organically began because of a raid on a small number of people?

You have 20M illegally in America, what makes this group so unique?

I'm guessing being in California, which is the Marxist backyard in which foreign enemy dollars are injected in high numbers.

In fact, this construction job angle should be promoted by Trump. "There were dozens of illegals working in construction and the Dem politicians in California want them to have these jobs that unemployed American construction workers should be doing, instead of being undercut on their wages!".

That's a great way to lose even more votes in California. A state that is very, very slowly losing it's Democrat support, especially in buroughs outside the big cities.

I suppose because that is where Trump decided to deflect from all the Musk crap.

I guess we have caught all the bad guys......now its on to the day laborers. Those committing misdemeanors. We will continue to ignore those committing the felonies.

Trump allows the employers to simply go on to the next stop and pick up the needed help.

Go after the businesses too. Large fines to start should do the trick.

Trump does that? It's been going on for years.

Good gawd... Must blame Trump

It isn't going to happen. We ignore those committing felonies to go after those committing misdemeanors.

Those committing felonies aren't brown and don't vote.

Progressive did this with the number of illegals. Obviously, it is done to win elections. When nations get rich, they self-destruct. It seems many people cannot be happy.

Yes it has and it will continue to go on under Trump. I condemned those who did it previously (which also included Trump the first time).

Then start whining about both sides and stop looking like a TDS inflicted jackass

 

[Mac-7]

Personally, I'm fine with 100%. Any figure less than that just encourages people to come here and somehow legitimizes the whole illegal thing.

Seriously, I want to see a higher surcharge than 15% also

Lets start with 25% and raise it higher if the mexicans take counter measures

I have but BOTH sides are not currently in charge of this.

I forgot to add that during the Bush years, in 1999 the government raided something like 400 companies we knew hired illegals. In 2002 I think Bush raided 4. He completely told illegal employers don't worry about the laws. Hire them. Save money. Fuck the middle class. If it saves business owners money great. These are just jobs Americans won't do.

Employers who employ them should also be shut down. No fines, just shut down. No due process either.

Well, all right then. I hope you don't mind paying three times as much for the produce now picked by immigrant workers. Cuz those US citizen college grads with $100K in student loan debt are going to need to be paid well so you can have a salad.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) said, “America is not the world’s piggy bank. And we don’t take kindly to threats.”

I imagine people sending money back to Mexico don't take threats kindly either and will find a way to do so without paying the penalty.

are you saying TACO won this election because of illegals voting?

It is their money, let them do what they want with it

They are doing what they want with it, they choose to send money out of the United States, they choose to pay the tax. It's the same as sales tax.

Who cares?
It is their money
They earned it

Who cares if they spend it on Tacos and Cerveza or send it home to a starving family back home?

 

[rightwinger]

After they pay taxes for having a job in our country

They already pay income taxes and sales taxes

 

[pknopp]

Some do, many do not. (income taxes) If they do then their employer has to and that is what the employer is trying to avoid by hiring them.

If we have to pay tax on the money we spend so do they.

They do pay taxes on the money they earn and spend

House Republicans’ Remittance Tax Is Going Up Against the Money Transfer Industry

House Republicans’ Remittance Tax Is Going Up Against the Money Transfer Industry​

The sprawling tax package unveiled Monday includes an international money transfer tax opposed by financial service providers and supported by one of the bill’s biggest critics.

House Republicans’ sweeping tax proposal includes a 5% tax on some international money transfers known as remittances, setting up a lobbying battle for the industry groups representing companies that carry out those transactions.

But even budget hawks who have issues with the bill have said they support a remittance tax targeting people who are in the U.S. illegally. And as Republicans clamor to find billions of dollars to cover tax and border priorities, removing the provision could be difficult for its opponents.

People working in the U.S. send tens of billions of dollars in remittances to friends, relatives or others in foreign countries each year, according to the World Bank. Trade groups representing companies that send money abroad sent a letter last week urging the Ways and Means Committee against including a remittance tax in the mega-bill.

Better yet.....Prove you're legally in the country. = 0%.

Can't prove it, can't transfer. Enforce it by fining the transfer agent and the transfer company.

When Chico's Bodega and Western Union start feeling consequences, things will change.

/——/ I am outraged by this travesty. It should be 25% at least.
