A fee for the cost of transport and placing them over the White Hut fence.

Why not? If the president can make up laws, so can we. Besides, we are paying hundreds of millions supporting the squatters when they settle here.

Doesn’t NYC charge a fee for all autos coming into the city?

Texas would benefit greatly by just waiting at the border and giving the illegals one way non refundable bus tickets to NYC, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Hartford, Trenton, SF, LA, or any other Progressive city.

Some politician in DC will make sure TX is never able to do this.

Border states should enact an excise type tax on income earned by dreamers in-state. 75% sound fair?

Best idea yet “Bus em to Blue states!”

I would say a tax of no less than 50% of what is being sent sounds about right.

TX once taxed me for a case of beer I brought in to TX even though I was only passing through. It was consumed in NM.

I say the same thing. Tax = 80% which they get back WHEN they file a tax return. can’t have a return with a small amount of income if you’re sending triple that out of the country.

Sure. The US Supreme Court said any tax allowed can be applied however they desire. For instance, Texas can tax a person for not immediately buying health care in Texas. In fact, Texas can demand a $25,000 tax to buy a year’s health care for all that enter Texas no matter from what part of their border.

We should have been charging the countries of origin for any costs incurred handling their illegals. Deduct it from balance of payments or foreign aid, or repossess their US assets.

If it’s good enough for Mexico, it’s good enough for us.
