Three Tweet’s and this whole thing explodes.
“Billions of dollars are wired to foreign countries, every year. Most of that money is earned illegally, from those working in this country illegally, without any income tax or SS taxes being taken out. It’s time the IRS and Treasury Dept start looking into this matter.”
“I will meet with IRS Commissioner and Sec Treasury to discuss this matter, later this week.”
“Long overdue that this money is taxed just like US CITIZENS have to pay taxes on their earnings.”
Let the Liberals/Dem’s start crying about the illegals sending untaxed wages back home and defending them. It’ll be another example of them siding with illegals, over the US taxpayer. Could, potentially, cause a tsunami of legal action to overturn the 16th Amendment. Would love to see Schumer/Pelosi tell the American people that they have to pay income taxes but illegals don’t. That’ll be better than them saying that MS13 members are pillars of society.
Yes, there needs to be a check on remittances as well as the general aid to these countries. Remittances over a certain dollar should have automatic withholding. California already does this, so do some others. It should be required of any money transfer from US to overseas recipient. Let them then file a tax return to show show legal source of funds, pay taxes, etc.
