There are here illegally. Taxing their remittances is a minor punishment compared to what they should get if they actually get caught. I agree with the House bill and it should be a felony to be here illegally. If found guilty of a felony, they can lose a lot more than some of the remittances of money they ILLEGALLY made in this country. In fact, I wouldn't be opposed to legislation that allowed confiscation of all illegally "earned" money in this country when an illegal alien gets caught. It is against the law for them to be here, it is against the law for them to work here, it is against the law for anyone to hire them. Fines, penalties, etc. are entirely appropriate.
It SHOULD be a crime to force American citizens to pay for these invaders. No one in Washington talks about this. 10 billion dollars in California every year is asking too much, but the elites in Washington care not.
I think any Senator, no matter which party, who votes for this amnesty might have to look for a new job in November.
Confiscating money property in the case of a felony conviction.
Hmmmm, Scooter Libby is convicted: take his house, cars, IRA and clean out his bank accounts. He's a felon, so we can take all his money AND send him to prison.
It's going too far.
You can't take people's money away like that.
It's wrong.
