Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said President Donald Trump’s proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall could be paid for with improperly paid tax credits that go to “mostly Mexicans.”

...

SESSIONS: The Department of Treasury, several years ago, under the Obama administration, said that if you change the regulations and enforced it properly, you would save up to $4 billion a year.

There are other things that we can do at the border to create revenue that would pay for the wall. There’s no doubt about that.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But in your discussions with your counterparts in Mexico, they have given no indication at all that the Mexican government is prepared to pay a single cent for this wall (INAUDIBLE)?

SESSIONS: Well, I don’t expect the Mexican government to appropriate money for it. But there are ways that we can deal with our trade situation to create the revenue for it. No doubt about it.

>And this is just a single source of ill-gotten taxpayer dollars by illegals.

Yes, but I read nothing about going after the law-breakers (tax\document fraud) either.

In fact, I’m still waiting for The Law to make a couple examples of govs, mayors and other elected officials; and I’m not just talking ‘slaps on the wrist’.

Course, I don’t recall Mr. Sessions bringing up any bills to enforce the Law while he was a member of Congress either...So, why should anyone expect anything different now?
