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

[Lisa558]

Hospitals often employ legal immigrant staff, their remittance would be taxed.

No, the article was talking about the migrants, not legal immigrants.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Tax all the illegal aliens

But only fine employers who knew they are illegal

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".

Remittance taxes are inherently illegal and unethical.
There is no legal basis to justify them.
When you make arbitrary laws, that is a dictatorship.

In order to legally tax remittance the whole international monetary exchange system would have to be scrapped.

Migrants includes "illegal" and "legal" migrants.

However the implementation of a Remittance Tax is on money transfers out of the country. Therefore it would apply to illegals, legals, and citizens - all groups that send money out of the country.

While I can imagine that remittances make the US less wealthy, it is no different than some wealthy elite who decides to take an expensive vacation to some foreign country.
There is no legal means by which to justify a remittance tax.
People can do whatever they want with their profit, after they have paid the legal income taxes.

And focusing on remittances is backwards.
Remittances are good because we all benefit from the fact the majority of what they produce stays in the US.
Their wages are less than a third of what they actually produce, and they have to pay room and board out of that meager wage.
What is bad for the US is US customers buying products made overseas.
That does not benefit the US in any way, and just make the whole US more poor.

Remittance taxes are not illegal. That is a legal standard.

"Unethical" is a moral standard. Some agree, some (as in this thread) are all for increasing taxes on legal immigrants and citizens so they feel they can "stick it to illegals".

WW

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

 

[Couchpotato]

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

You can say that about every dollar the Government taxes.

Nope, sorry. You know fully well that the libs have started calling the illegals “migrants” to water down the fact that they’re illegals. People who have immigrated here legally are not migrants.

Try your gaslighting on a stuoid person.

I don't give a rat fart what liberals call anyone.

I use my own standards of illegals, legals, and citizens and Remittance Taxes (taxes on overseas monitary transfers) will hit everyone that transacts business oversea or has relatives overseas.

It's not "gaslighting", it's thinking beyond the bumper sticker feel good mentality.

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.

• Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. Most of that amount, $59.4 billion, was paid to the federal government while the remaining $37.3 billion was paid to state and local governments.
• Undocumented immigrants paid federal, state, and local taxes of $8,889 per person in 2022. In other words, for every 1 million undocumented immigrants who reside in the country, public services receive $8.9 billion in additional tax revenue.
• More than a third of the tax dollars paid by undocumented immigrants go toward payroll taxes dedicated to funding programs that these workers are barred from accessing. Undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022.

Tax Payments by Undocumented Immigrants

And even with that, they are a net DRAIN of $150 billion a year.

The study finds that undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022 – a number that would rise dramatically if these taxpayers were granted work authorization.

My (second) favorite bumper sticker just says, "BUMPER STICKER".

Nope.... Make sure they get an SS number and that they know they can't collect from it later.
Remittances to other countries? 20 percent wire tax.

You cant deny the facts

Clearly you support the illegal alien invasion

I'm not a lib.

I'm an anti-trumper Republican.

There's a difference.

I also think beyond the "bumper sticker" mentality of most cultists.

But if you need a direct answer, yes I'm a born here American citizen.

WW

You are still ducking the question

But I wont ask again

Its obvious that you support the illegal alien invasion
