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

[Hellokitty]

How do you know the money is coming from an illegal, legal, or citizen?

WW

Personally I don't care who it is, if they want to send money outside the US let them pay a tax.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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

If they wanted to do that great, but the illegals want to live in sanctuary cities, not the agricultural belt.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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

Most of the employers have no idea they are illegals because they use forged documents.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I guess it's just me...

But why assume that the $800 Billion in remittances are only from Illegals?

We had a programmer on site from a contractor, she was from India, sent money home. He was here illegally. Trump hires foreign workers at his properties (some legal, some illegal) who I'm also sure send money home.

WW

So? You think Trump does the hiring?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This is true. It's not all illegals. Many of them are Legal residents if not Citizens. The Citizens are mostly by Marriage, very few by birth.

Those are not illegals then!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That is a lie
They are a needed part of our workforce who are exploited by employers

You call them all leeches and rapists

Many of them are.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Fine we go after both. Tax the money illegals send out the country and also tax the hell out of the employers so that hiring illegals will cost double then hiring US citizens.

That's really dumb, overly complicated and totally impractical. Those are the good things about it!

Personally I don't care who it is, if they want to send money outside the US let them pay a tax.

So I should have to pay a tax to send my daughter in Japan whose in the Air Force?

Sorry no.

And if you tax one way? They’ll just use a different method.

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

And then there is Joe. A fifty-year carpetbagger. He has helped to put millions in prison while pardoning his son for worse offenses.

I don't think you know what a carpetbagger is.

 

[WorldWatcher]

So? You think Trump does the hiring?

Is he responsible for the hitting practices of his privately held business?

Yes.

If he wanted to make America great again he wouldn’t import labor. He’d hire Americans.

WW

 

[WorldWatcher]

I don't think you know what a carpetbagger is.

Isn’t that defined in the dictionary with a picture of Senator Clinton in the sidebar?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

earning it is not illegal since there are no laws to enforce on industry or the wealthy for what they do since they run the government, Trump included, yes, the guy who claims he wants to rid the US of illegals has been caught using illegals.
Soooooooooooo, now we have another issue, Trump wants his cheap labor and you don't, yet you voted him into office and bought his lies on illegals in the US, just as the stupid high tariffs for China yet Trump, Musk and other wealthy people have their production bases in China....

If that were true, which is not, why isn't he in jail?

Trump does not hire his employee,

What does Trump or Musk produce in China? Sorry, you have reached a number that is no longer in service.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Is he responsible for the hitting practices of his privately held business?

Yes.

If he wanted to make America great again he wouldn’t import labor. He’d hire Americans.

WW

When you have proven that is his policy, then you can claim that. Until then...

With all those "billions" the illegals pilfered from the US how is it they give the illegals prepaid debit cards filled with cash?

New York City officials are dramatically expanding a controversial program that gives debit cards pre-loaded with cash to migrant families staying in taxpayer-funded hotels across the city.

The Adams administration says another round of debit cards is expected to be distributed to more than 7,300 migrants over the next six months, costing the city about $2.6 million. The move represents a major expansion of a pilot program that began earlier this year that doled out cards to about 3,000 migrants.

New York City Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom says the program allows newly arriving families the ability to “make choices for themselves and their children” by using debit cards.

“They can buy from local shops, support small businesses, and manage their own resources,” she said in a statement. “When we empower people, we help them achieve self-sufficiency and access the American Dream.”

WW

I believe you are correct, sir! There is a smaller picture of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. NYers seem to love carpetbaggers.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It is their money not yours.
If they choose to send money back to family that is struggling to survive, it is a noble act.

My Grandmother sent most of her earnings back to Germany to help her family

Was your grandmother here illegally? Probably not as there was no such thing back in those olden days.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Remittance tax is on wire transfers out of the country.

Illegals, legal, and citizens would pay the tax when remitting money out of the country.

WW

It could be restricted by destination or legal status. Show you are here legally, and you don't have to pay.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Most who send money home are here legally. It is a drain on the economy as those remittances must be replaced by more government borrowing. OTOH it does mitigate inflation somewhat.

Don't tax them if they are here legally. That should be easy to prove with a visa or green card.

What does she mean “when we empower people”? She means “when we take money from hard-working Americans and give prepaid debit cards to illegals, we encourage more illegals to exploit our laws.”

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Remittance taxes are on transfers of money out of the country. They apply to illegals, legals, and citizens.

Financial transfer companies don't know you status.

WW

Why not have them prove their status to avoid the tax?
