The president should tweet this - it is staggering. This money could have built one heck of a wall.
Interesting. Twitter would not let me tweet the source link of the article - though I tried several methods. Message that I was an automated bot. But tweeted the post on freerepublic. And it got through.
Something rotten here.
Oooo! BURN! LOL! :)
“...considering that illegals send TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars out of the country to their families back in Central America.”
Makes me crazy when I see a bunch of them at Walmart, wiring money, ‘home.’
Where TF is ICE? They’re RIGHT THERE! Round ‘em up, Head ‘em OUT!
California spends about $575 for every resident. The cost to a family of 4 is over $2,000 per year for illegals.
The illegals use disproportionately more resources for combatting crime, free health care, etc.
*BUMP*
Absolutely unbelievable how my country responds to an illegal invasion. The slow sword really does penetrate the shield.

Brilliant idea, and if ICE followed your advice, I think you ought’a get a reward of reasonable percentage of illegal alien fraudulently sending home SIXTY NINE BILLION dollars a year to Mexico and other disfunctional shithole countries.

Last year, a record amount in remittances was sent home by Latin American and Caribbean migrants.

Migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean are sending more money to their families back home than ever before.
These annual “remittances” — as they’re called by analysts — topped $69 billion in 2016, according to central bank data compiled in a new report by the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank. The money has been a lifeline for the national economies of many countries in the region since at least the 1990s, when Manuel Orozco, a political scientist who authored the report, first began tracking remittances. They climbed steadily since then, only to plummet when the Great Recession hit the U.S. economy in 2008. But they began to rise again in 2012. The 2016 tally is the highest amount on record and an increase of nearly 8 percent over 2015.
About 40 percent of the money goes to just one country — Mexico — practically all of it sent by migrants in the United States. The recent surge is all the more notable because migration from Mexico has slowed to a crawl — with the number of migrants in the U.S. increasing by just 1 percent between 2010 and 2016 to a total of 11.8 million. Also, says Orozco, the median amount that any given Mexican migrant sends hasn’t changed — about $300 at a go, 14 times a year, most commonly through a money transfer company such as Western Union.
So what accounts for this surge in cash to Mexico? Orozco explains that a much larger share of Mexicans already in the United States are now wiring money back. In 2010 fewer than half of Mexican migrants sent money home. Today two-thirds do.

The liberal media doesn’t like to report it but a full THIRD of all welfare recipients reside in one state - CALIFORNIA!!
$135,000,000,000 annual cost of illegal immigration
<- 35,000,000,000> cost of the wall
$100,000,000,000. Annual savings
One of the retired firefighters hubby worked with wound up in a small burg in Missouri somewhere. Hubby asked him why he went there. He said he just kept driving until when he stopped he didn’t hear someone speaking Spanish anymore.
tax the remittances build the wall
