Oh noes! The money-changers can’t get a percentage of their usuary! I must retire to my fainting couch
That’s business we don’t need to grow.
After the wall is built, it will level off.
Good!
Eggs, omelets, etc.
I first saw the very, very earliest suggestions for using Western-Union to tax Mexico RIGHT HERE ON FREEREPUBLIC..!
Over 6 years ago...!
I used to work for MoneyGram. We could have wiped out illegal immigration with one law that you must be in a country legally to wire money. There were all kinds of laws and regulations we had to abide by, but that was not one.
could you check the link?
Aiding and abetting crime on a massive scale - Western Union could easily be shut down on RICO grounds, if anyone at DoJ had any loyalty to the United States.
At $ 24-billion a year that’s being wired from the U.S. to Mexico, you could build a wall just by stacking up all the money.
You mean...money xferred to Mexico is couriered across the border? The wall will be electron-tight?
I don’t think so. If there comes to be a small tax on remittances, then what are the remitters going to do, return to Mexico where the wages are so much higher?
Besides, is the security of the nation supposed to be beholden to the revenue projections of one company?
you mean WU is going to be hurt?!?!!
Bernie! Bernie! lol
Get the #$ out of here WU. Your sending dollars out of the country days are coming to an end soon
...... HAHAHA ..... Considering most of that money is US dollars going into Mexico and parts unknown ...... GOOD!!!
..... Keep America Green!
What a shame.
I’ll do Western Union a favor and trade them my assets for theirs.
Tax the hell out of any Western Union money transfers to Mexico.
That will either help pay for the wall or force illegals to ride or drive
themselves back to Metico to deliver their money personally.
And that gets them out of our country and back into their country.
So western Union is admitting it is making a ton of money from Illegals sending American money from American jobs back to Mexico. That money is not being spent for American anything.
B.S. If both the U.S. and Mexico have fair and equitable trade where both countries can benefit, Western Union can prosper along with everyone else.
B.S. article. The U.S. will still be doing business transactions with Mexico.
The wall is the stop Illegal Immigrants.
Yeah, Trump will tax those stage coaches. (Wells Fargo, I know)
If their customers are criminals, then they deserve to lose the business. How can a business, in broad daylight, proudly claim they depend on criminals for their livelihood?
It can still grow, but the Trump administration will be taking 17.5% to 35%* of all "remittances" to build a wall.
*I pulled those numbers out of thin air. It should be 100% if it comes from an illegal.
