They should lower those fees and give some of that money to the community,”

I dont see this turkey taking the risk of a business and donating to his own dam**d community.

If it were up to me I would put a Tax on all wire transfers at the rate of Eight Percent for Non citizens of the U.S. If you have a green card or are an American citizen the fee would be waived.

Great idea. Best one I have seen yet.

Hey, Jose:

YOU should not be sending money out of the USA. You should give some of YOUR money to the community you live in in New Brunswick.

"They should lower those fees and give some of that money to the community," Villanueva said." Spoken like a true Leftist. The Democrats just got one more vote.

Did you ever think about the fact that those who pay little or no taxes are the ones that use the Police/EMT taxi-cab most. The police that good citizens generally do not have to call or conscientious people generally find their own way to the hospital if at all possible.

Villan ought consider keeping HIS money in the community.

[Let's Roll]

I’ve been saying that for years - stop them from sending $ back home and it stops the invasion.

They’re idiots - they have no idea how much we resent them or they would never complain about anything.

“It’s like we’re getting robbed,” a Mexican native who attended the forum said, shaking his head in bewilderment as he read the figures in the report.

Join the club! Every second you stay in this country, I’m being robbed!

routine.

I would like to protest the $45B these people are sending out of our communities. They should invest it in the local economy. It is like we are being robbed, because the money they receive is sent out of the country. Whereas, if the money stayed in the local economy we could all benefit from the additional capital for loans, business expansion, revenue for local schools, and community services. Makes me want to protest those that are taking money out of our communities and our country.

"They should lower those fees and give some of that money to the community," Villanueva said. "When you think about the money they are making, most of it has to be from the Latino community. It has to be. Everyone I know sends money back home."

We really should get the law after whoever it that is holding Jose and his compatriots at gunpoint and forcing them to use Western Union. Maybe they should just trust to the Mexican postal service and send cash.

they have no idea how much we resent them or they would never complain about anything.

I'm not sure about that. The Dems and most of the MSM work very hard to tell illegals how much they like them and want them here. Seems logical that the illegals would come to believe that those of us who wish to get them out of here are a small but vocal minority.

On the other hand, you do have a point. If they are so afraid of being "ripped off" and/or deported, why don't they shut up and stay off the radar screen? For example, if they learned English and appeared to assimilate a lot of people wouldn't realize they were illegals.

Mexico is such a putrid dung heap that we will have to work pretty hard to make it bad enough here that they will prefer going back. That's why cutting off the jobs is so important. Remove the motivation and reward for coming over the border.

[ChildOfThe60s]

It is interesting. The left is working hard to convince us that the majority of illegals are NOT Mexicans, that it’s just our bigotry and pregudice that make us assume that to be so. Yet they always tie their complaints about the mistreatment of illegals in with the Latino community. Can’t have it both ways.

Actually, that’s a lot of what being a lib is all about.

Conscientious citizens have a bill to pay.

BWWAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAA

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Uhm, no one forces you to use Western Union, you friggin idiot.

[nicollo]

so what’s it cost to send money from Mexico and Central America TO the U.S.?

[PAR35]

The liberal solution would be to legislate reduced fees, and then slap on a hefty tax of a larger amount to administer the supervision of the program.
