What to do with the $800 billion the illegal aliens send home?

[Lisa558]

Yes, you read that right - the illegals, while costing us $150 billion a year, send home $800 billion a year. How should Trump use this to America’s benefit?

Option 1) Tax the remittances by 25%, thereby recapturing the fortune the illegals cost America taxpayers and use it to offset their costs

Option 2) Tax the remittances by 50%, thereby recapturing the fortune we spend on them AND using the balance to secure the border and pay for deportations of criminal aliens

Option 3) Block remittances entirely, which will hurt the originating country and pressure them to take back the illegals (as some countries have said they won’t), and use the money for border security, deportations, and more

It is their money, they can do what they want with it

Doesn’t mean we can’t tax what they send home,

After all, my money is MY money - and yet I am forced to pay taxes on it.

OK
If you want to tax their work, then give them temporary work visas, let them work legally, earn a fair wage and pay taxes

No, I want to tax what they send home rather than encourage more of them to come in, you liberal loon.

I understand with your fat federal pension they do YOU no harm, but they are having an awful impact on the working class - they drive rents up, property values down, and ruin the public schools.

Plus, the gang activity is so bad from the illegals who have taken over a town next to me that the police hace told us not to walk the bike path after dark. There have been rapes and murders.

But you don’t care. I thought you libs were for the working class.

I don’t want to argue with a leftist who prioritizes illegals over Americans. I want to hear from regular people as to how we can capture the $150 billion they cost us WITHOUT encouraging more of the scofflaws to invade.

The money sent abroad increases the value of money in the US and inflates the money where it is sent. You want to overtax people who send money because you don't like them, you sound like a communist.

According to yer article Southern Asians send a lot of money to India but are not here illegally.

What a cruel concept

People escaping abject poverty who work hard and send money to those left behind. Take their money and give it to Billionaires

If money is not going to families left behind, doesn’t that encourage them to come to America

That $150 billion is a biased figure that ignores the substandard wages these people are paid without benefits.

These migrants contribute more to our economy than they take out. Why not tax employers of illegals to compensate your $150 billion?
That is where your money is

DOL already has that program.

How about you Dem fcks stop abusing our laws

People escaping poverty that exists in their country from our meddling in their governments, ill meaning sanctions on their economy, supporting their drug industries and cartels, and destructive trade policies. Yeah, those people.

How about they fix their own dang country and stop fcking us?

Again, the people empowered must live y what they promote. And a good percentage of progs do not. They live the ultimate capitalist ways.

My ancestors also escaped abject poverty AND Russian pograms - but they came in legally.

Great. We could use the same method multi millionaires, billionaires and corporations, cost us in subsidies and corporate give aways, to recover the money they cost tax payers.

We'll be watching to study closely just how we could use such an awesome tactic to end trickledown scams once and for all.

Which is Mexico's 2nd biggest industry. That is FACT, people.

Remittances sent from the US to Beanerville are behind only the Socialized (diarrheatown IS a socialist shithole) Oil Industry, Pemex. Which, being socialists, they of course stole it from the US, Dutch and English. The Auto Industry may have displaced Pemex in recent years. But, it's still mostly American.

But remittances from the US are still a major, major, MAJOR Industry. Been that way since -- Forever.

I'm for Option 3.

The only good thing that can be said about Mexico is....... They have very good neighbors to the North.

And yes, I've been there. Both the Atlantic and Pacific. More like the Caribbean and Pacific. Or Caribbean, Atlantic and Pacific. Mexico is HUGE. The biggest problem with Mexico is -- It's full of Mexicans. They have everything else a Country could ask for to be successful. But they aren't. Never have been. Never will be.

Absolutely. The Progs I all know are on government pensions, enjoying international travel and living in $1 million homes - far removed from the problems illegals cause.

But the working class is hit hard. Did you hear the meeting in Chicago, where the working class gave hell to the program mayor who wants to raise taxes to give more financial support to illegals?! They are being hit hard.

Those people aren’t illegal aliens. And they provide jobs to tens of millions of people.

Why do you Progs always defend the wrong people? Illegals over citizens. Thugs over law-abiders. Islamic terrorists over Jews.

As usual, the dimocrap scum left is more interested in taking care of America's enemies than it's own citizens.
