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

[Moonglow]

Maybe. But we should take it all

No, theft is not a good look.

 

[rightwinger]

Illegals pay about 96 billion in state, local and federal taxes, but they send home 800 billion (if the article is correct correct)

How is the contributing more to the economy than they send home?

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

 

[Care4all]

It's our money, they shouldn't be here in the first place. This kind of spending proves the tax payers Pay way too much. We deserve more tax cuts.

And the debt doesn't matter, right?

 

[struth]

Agreed, we are talking about civil forfeitures. Just because they are here illegally doesn’t mean they aren’t subject to our laws

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Once money is earned, in this country, taxes are paid again. We pay sales taxes, use taxes and regulatory fees. Money sent to foreign countries is not taxed. It is an unaccounted source of foreign aid that solely benefits the foreign country. Tax it like any other expense.

and do nothing to the employer???

 

[WorldWatcher]

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.

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

[Anathema]

We should be taxing any money leaving the US at 100%… whether it’s presale or corporate money.

 

[struth]

Well that’s been the policies they past four years, but I disagree wit it. Hence why I voted xiden out

But the convo here was about the money the illegals get through their illegal acts

Doesn't matter. Point being that the money is not helping the US GDP or tax revenue. It disappears.

Taxing $800b in Remittances at 5% or 10% would pay for the wall and ICE.

 

[the watcher]

I am sure they earned it and can do as they please with it.

They may have earned that,but you earned the money that was taxed so the government could support their families so they could send it back "home" to pay cartels to bring over some more.

So I send $1000 to my daughter in Japan and you want a $100 slice?

Is prefer a 100% tax on employers that legally employ immigrants and a 200% tax on employers that employ illegal aliens.

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

Minimum 20% wire tax

Yep.... Change it to crypto first. When you're sending dollars out of the system you're hurting the rest of the system. When your daughter gets the money she has to change it to Japanese currency.

Do you support the illegal alien invasion or not?

Why not tax wages of the illegal aliens at 100% ?

 

[WorldWatcher]

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.

Fine with that. Hit both the employer of the illegal and the illegal with 100%.

If you're suggesting that we pay them to stay out...
Eff that.
