That is just absurd!
Yes, it is. Wonder how much of that is tax refund (EITC) money?
The problem with tax refund money going to Mexico is that they never paid the taxes on it to start with, the children give them an advantage for Child Credit that refunds money that was never paid....from the paying taxpayers...right?
Exactly right.
Truth is illegals that are here without their family do send nearly all the money they earn back to Mexico. Illegals that do have their family here with them are the ones that overwhelm our social services- they can’t survive on the wages they are willing to work for either so U.S. taxpayers have to subsidize them. It is lose/lose for us either way, illegals cost us far more than they contribute- the only winners are companies that save on wages and/or have substandard or dangerous working conditions and don’t want to hire citizens and comply.
Not only should we not panic, we should double it if they agree to move home.
$40 billion to prevent the Southwest U.S. from being Alta Mexico is chump change.
I somewhat agree with you. I haven’t seen any comparison recently between what the earn and what they consume in “government” benefits ( ie forced robbery from taxpayers) to support their housing, healthcare, child care (skrewels), and food.
