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

[Mac-7]

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".

WW

The US has E-Verify

Its questionable how well it works

But that is a starting point at least

Still, confiscate all the wages and property of illegal aliens we catch on the job and deport them forthwith whether employer vetted them properly or not

What's the net drain of red states?

Irrelevant. What does the money spent supporting inner-city and rural welfare recipients matter? Are you saying that because we have a lot of people on welfare in Baltimore and Detroit, that means we have more to spare for lowlifes who break or exploit our laws?

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

It’s not at all questionable. It’s voluntary and obviously doesn’t work

I assume the libs who want to execute employers will support trying to improve E-Verify

They fly home? And then what? Illegals just fly into American airports as they please, without having to show passports?

Think before you type.

 

[Rawley]

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

And just pretend they have no respect for our country and our laws? How unhealthy is that?

They really do fly home Lisa, but they cannot fly back, so: 4 men to a car, $800 each, passing when their favorite border patrol guys are on shift at the shack. I know these people, so arguing with me is futile on a subject that you know nothing about.

 

[BrokeLoser]

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

And just like that Libs hate regulatory action and Father Government imposing its will.

You’ve watched too many movies…you’ve made the happenings within them come true.

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

Lol.. how cheesy. Every country lets their foreign nationals send money home.

Which part of "I know these people" didn't you understand? Is English your first language?

 

[Coyote]

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.

They are already taxed. You are proposing a double taxation.

 

[Kondor3]

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

Yes and No.

The "Yes" part is obvious.

The "No" part requires some actual thought.

Illegal Aliens take jobs from Americans and have depressed wages in several key industries.

It is time for Americans to resume their rightful place within those industries even if it ends-up raising costs.

That is because my fellow Americans will have jobs paying a Living Wage and will not be on taxpayer-funded public aid.

When taking such factors into account it ends-up being a Net Gain for Americans once our own people re-populate those industries.

To begin that journey - and before we flush all Illegals out of those industries - I'm just fine with a 25% or 50% fee on such remittances.

That lets them keep some of the value for which they have worked while dis-incentivizing any long-term continuation of that madness.

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

How do we go about taxing car purchases, or grocery purchases, or restaurant bills, etc.? We’ll figure something out. The main thing is to 1) recoup some of the $150 billion they cost taxpayers every year, and 2) make it less appealing for them to exploit our laws.

How so….they work for cash and or they have a 0% effective tax rate because we pay them to lay litters of silver tooth projects in our laps.

If you did figure it out, they would just stop using that method.

Legal and illegal immigrants are sending money to their home countries . Your plan is unworkable.
