Just FYI, from the article, “The open letter - dated March 14, 2016 - asks the candidates to support a program that would provide assistance for funeral, medical and legal costs for the families.” and “All of that assistance would come at no expense to taxpayers. Instead the program would be funded by a remittance fee on money transfers going outside the United States.”
That doesn’t sound at all like they want hand-outs forever.
I think Mexico should pay for the program.
“Instead the program would be funded by a remittance fee on money transfers going outside the United States.”
I’m not sure what “a remittance fee on money transfers going outside the United States” means.
If I send money to an overseas Christian missionary will the federal government charge me a tax, err, I mean a fee?
