Many of them actually pay income tax and sales tax. Taxing remittances is discriminatory. If you have problem, address it with the people who hire them…you know, like Trump. Make them pay.
What to do with the $800 billion the illegal aliens send home?

At the very minimum, tax enough of the $800 billion to cover what they cost American taxpayers. That would be about 19%.
But that doesn’t account for how they’ve driven rents up, and property values down, in the working class neighborhoods they invade - both suburbs and cities. So let’s tax an additional 6% to recapture an additional $50 billion above what they cost us, and distribute it in those areas to lower-income citizens for subsidies, contingent upon their working at least part-time.
That brings it to 25%. That’s reasonable.
The current system is unworkable and needs to be overhauled to allow for more legal work visas because clearly there is a need for those workers or they wouldn’t be coming and staying.

We will just go after the illegals. Legal immigrants are allowed to send money home without taxation.

All that would do is encourage MORE illegals, which is what the libs want. Just look at this thread!

Perhaps. in some industries - picking produce.
They are coming and staying because their countries are shitholes compared to the US.

hahaha….sure you do. You assert that border agents whom are on camera every second of the day are waving illegals across without verifying their status?
That sounds totally believable.
If you are all about “reasonable” you need to factor in what they contribute to the economy:
According to the American Community Survey (ACS), immigrants paid$382.9 billion in federal taxes and $196.3 billion in state and local taxes in 2022. Undocumented immigrants, using Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITIN) numbers, paid $59.4 billion in federal and $13.6 billion in state and local taxes in 2022. Undocumented immigrants also paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance in 2022, programs for which they are ineligible.

Hello! How do you know who is legal and who isn't?
They are also picked up for construction and service industry jobs. I don’t think people realize how many sectors hire them and given historic low unemployment rates, I doubt Americans are going to fill those jobs in any great numbers.
True. I don’t think they typically do do they?

Here’s the pesky truth for you.
“Sales tax”……WTF?
This thread is about income tax and FAIR SHARE
And just like that Libs hate regulatory action and Father Government imposing its will.
Payees are responsible for paying income tax on their earnings. Remember?
Don’t blame the thread participants, it started with a retarded OP that is both unjust and unworkable (you are not going to be able to separate out remittances from legal vs. illegal immigrants.
Besides, aren’t you guys all about “it’s my money, I worked for it, you can’t tell me what to do with it?”

And if YOU are all about “reasonable,” you will not ignore the other half of the equation: what the illegals cost us, which is a NET cost of $150 billion a year.
Did you see that meeting with the working class Chicagoans, furious with their prog mayor because he wants to raise taxes on them in order to fund more programs for illegals? How would YOU feel if you had a household income of $50,000 or so, trying your make a rent payment of $1200 on a modest apartment, dealing with groceries that cost 20% more than four years go, coming up with car insurance that is 50% higher, and cutting back on meat purchases, etc., and then see your taxes going to support illegal aliens?
You are placing the interest of foreigners who exploit our laws over that of hard-working, law-abiding Americans.

You are a moderator. If you think my OP is retarded, and love smearing me by in effect calling ME retarded, your bias will prevent you from moderating fairly.
I will no longer respond to a mod who enters a thread and calls me a retard.
And more pesky truths:

As US citizens celebrate Labor Day, it's important to recognize the contributions legal and undocumented immigrants make to the national economy.

They have to show proof.
They came here from a foreign country. They have passports. /s

We actually don’t need illegal workers….they are self-serving.
We need all 50 million sent home….Look at the bright-side, the noncontributing self-serving underground tax free black market economy they’ve built within our legitimate economy would collapse immediately….as planned…concurrently, opportunity for real Americans would open wide, wages for real Americans would skyrocket, education and healthcare would improve immediately, social services would improve for blacks, emergency services / first response would improve, auto and healthcare premiums would fall, communities would be safer and cleaner, jails and prisons would empty out….Do you need me to continue?
Tell us how the aforementioned couldn’t/wouldn’t happen.
