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

You think America has been great the last 4 years? Say no to drugs.

 

[Crepitus]

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.

It was already taxed.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That makes sense from a health perspective in the middle of a pandemic and it is short term. Having to show papers all the time just to move around is too Soviet.

Illegals and immigrants of all stripes are not citizens if they have no proof.

 

[Lisa558]

You did!

Obviously, that was a typo. You said people on this thread wanted to increase taxes on LEGAL immigrants.

Who in this thread wants to increase taxes on legal immigrants?

 

[Crepitus]

Yeah, and a lot of it is under the table - CASH - and they don’t pay a cent in income tax. And they they go home to their wife and two anchor babies, and between the $80,000 they get tax free, the food stamps for theorist kids, and the subsidized housing, they have a FORTUNE to send home.

You actually believe that?

I mean, really?

Now, you got in right. Your typo was confusing people. Thank you for correcting your error.

 

[rightwinger]

You look ridiculous every time you chime in.

Is that really the best you can come up with?
Can you EVER come up with something relevant to the thread?

 

[Lisa558]

Now, you got in right. Your typo was confusing people. Thank you for correcting your error.

You’re welcome. So who in this thread wants to increase taxes on LEGAL immigrants sending money to their “home” country? I haven’t seen anyone say that.

This is strictly a proposed tax to try to recapture the $150 billion net loss illegals cost us.

 

[Godboy]

One thing the Constitution says is that taxes have to be fairly applied. You seem to not get that concept

The Consitution doesnt apply to non US citizens.

 

[WorldWatcher]

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

You don't care that the Make America Great Again want to hire foreigners over American's?

Well, that not consistent.

You confused WW who thought you mean all immigrants and then your typo admitted it. That was all.

They are not hiring Consuela over Americans to work at the Red Roof In changing bedsheets.

Near me, the illegals are turning down $25 an hour, cash. That is equivalent to a $60,000 a year salary once you consider they aren’t contributing to the federal government - pretty damn good for a high school drop out that doesn’t even speak English - and it’s not good enough for them.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you Lisa!

 

[Picaro]

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

This. We know 9 out of 10 of them won't show up for their court hearings, because they're not real 'refugees'. Stop feeding them and they stop coming. They should be applying to Mexico in the first place for refugee status, not us; Mexico let them in, let Mexico feed them.

 

[Lisa558]

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you Lisa!

Can’t help what you believe.

But you’ve been wrong before. Bet you believed Kamala would be better for America than Trump.

 

[Picaro]

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.

Your party represents those demographics. Take it up with the DNC. How much do you think Nancy Pelosi 'trickles down'?

Absolutely! They are applying for assylum because, supposedly, they are fleeing dangerous conditions in Guatemala, and Nicaragua, and Honduras - and then reject Mexico and keep heading north to America with the 3 free meals a day, 4-star hotels, and maids to clean their sheets and bathrooms.

True, but that is only because his luxury resorts don't want to pay the price for Americans to do it...

Up here we get work visas for the Hotel chamber maids because these small mom and pop motels can't get Americans to do the dirty work for the $15 to $20 an hour they can pay the Jamaicans...and they are only temp jobs for the summer....hotels close in the winter.

Our minimum wage is over $14 an hour now....
