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

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No, put a system in place so that employers can verify work eligibility, then require it be used. 100% of the time.

Then there can be no claim by employers "but I didn't know".

How many citizens will get caught up in illegals using forged documents to gain employment?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Who wants to increase taxes on illegal immigrants? I haven’t seen one person in this thread suggest that.

You did!

 

[kyzr]

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.

Why would you send her money instead of just paying her credit card bill?
Or deposit money in her credit card account?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

How do you go about taxing Western Union Money Grams? Or the large money clip that they fly home with at Xmas time?

Man, you are incredibly stupid! If they fly home, how do they get back into the country? Don't they have to cross the border again?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

They earned their money working hard. Take it out of the people hiring them.

They are f-ing criminals! Why can't you libtards see them for what they are! Any money they receive is under the table and thus illegal. They have no right to it.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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.

So? They are still illegals! They are not entitled to those funds no matter what the source.

Which is exactly what I’ve been trying to point out to the bumper sticker crowd.

If you tax money transfers, they will find another method.

And you pointed out two: pay bills within the US and joint account deposits.

I’d add crypto transactions to the list,

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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.

Then talk to your liberal Democrats and have them pass a border/immigration bill to account for that. Why do you think they don't?

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

You look ridiculous every time you chime in.

Proof that all or most illegal alien construction workers make over $100,000 a year?

The whole reason they are hired is because employers can pay them LESS than Americans is what y'all claimed!

Average Construction workers up here in Maine, all American, make $37 k a year, if lucky! The average construction worker in Florida makes $35k a year. The average construction worker in Texas makes about $34k a year.

I call $100k a year for illegals making in the construction business.....BULL CRAP!

Proof. I WORK IN THE INDUSTRY.

See it with my own eyes

Come to work and see for yourself

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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.

Illegals don't have ITINs, but legal immigrants do.

"Who's eligible for an ITIN​

If you're a resident alien, nonresident alien or their spouse or dependent, you can apply for an ITIN regardless of immigration status."

Individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) | Internal Revenue Service

An ITIN is a 9-digit number the IRS issues if you need a U.S. taxpayer identification number for federal tax purposes, but you aren’t eligible for a Social Security number (SSN). Find if you need one and how to apply.

www.irs.gov

If they get an ITIN, their illegal status would be readily accessible since they do not have a visa or green card, making them eligible to be deported. That's why they don't.

ITINs are required for students who are illegal and every school knows who is an illegal if they do not have an SSN.

I didn’t say Trump hired illegals.

I said he hired foreigners instead of Americans.

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Have you even read what I wrote?

Of course not, I don't support illegal aliens. But what does tghatg have to do with laying a tax on legal aliens and citizens in addition to illegal aliens?

WW

You are making an assumption that everyone gets taxed. I must not have seen the same thing.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Correct, it can be improved. The current I-9 system is crap.



Agreed.



And fine the employers at a rate of 100% of all compensation paid to illegal aliens.

WW

You would need to prove they knowingly hired illegals.

As long as they have work visas....I dont care.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Try boarding a commercial airline without proper ID

Illegals do it all the time with papers from the Border Patrol.

 

[Crepitus]

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?

tRump will not get that money. It will be paid to whoever does the job after all this bullshit is over, or it will stay in the company's pocket if no one gets the job.

This is a thoroughly retarded thread. It's almost like you have no real idea how the world works.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

They don’t come here expecting Americans to provide for them. Most come here (after incredibly dangerous journeys) to find work. They typically work physically demanding jobs Americans want for low wages. They are often taken advantage of because of their illegal status.

They want to work. What part of that don’t you get? Do you just assume they are all lazy slobs coming for freebies?

If there weren’t jobs, they wouldn’t be coming and that is also clear when you look at the ebb and flow immigration patterns.

Did you interview all those residents in the hotels provided by DHS in New York and Chicago to exclude all those who are not here to live on our dime, because that is exactly what they are doing? What jobs are they seeking? Bus boy in a restaurant is about the only thing they are qualified to do.
