• Remittances to Mexico • Incentive for illegal aliens living in the U.S. to return to their home country
A feckless Congress has failed to face up to the issue of illegal immigration. Even if the House had passed an immigration reform bill it would have been dead on arrival in the Senate. The President has pinned his hopes for immigration reform on the Republicans retaining control of the House and gaining seats in the Senate in the upcoming mid-term election.
Sadly, even if that turns out to be the case, given that 41 Republicans voted against the Goodlatte Immigration Bill, the chances of the House passing any meaningful legislation are slim. If a bill did make it through the House, it would die in the Senate unless Senate Majority Leader McConnell had the courage to change the Senate rules to eliminate the filibuster, and he shows no sign that he would be willing to do that. Even if he did try to change the Senate rules, there are probably enough never-Trump Republican Senators to block such a move.
We will not get legislation favorable to the citizens and the rule of law until ALL the Bush League Republicans are replaced with patriots.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Capito, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.
It’s not just remittances to Mexico. It’s also Somalia (welfare abuse) Honduras, Guatemala etc etc etc. they need to take a very close look at these and who is sending them.
I am waiting for the nutty new President of Mexico to take office so we can declare war and sort a lot of things out.
A two-step approach is:
1) put 150,000 troops on the border
2) Build the wall.
Raise the fees on all out of country remittances to 50%.
Cut off all welfare. Cut off free education for any age. Imprison employers who hire illegals. Cane illegals before sending them back - immediately. Take no requests for amnesty at the border - only and embassies and consulates.
That will immediately solve the ‘crisis’.
But build the wall anyway. Just cause.
