Yet a US citizen can have his assets confiscated by the IRS if he deposits “too much” cash in his own bank account.

Double kick in the teeth to U.S. workers: illegal aliens taking our jobs AND sucking 26 billion of our lost wages out of our economy.

Just one of many ways to avoid that sort of law.Just like the high rollers only on a smaller scale.


Don’t forget the Walmart/Sam’s connection. People in US make payment to Walmart/Sam’s. People in Mexico (or where ever there is a Walmart/Sam’s) go to their Walmart/Sam’s, pick up the money, and of course shop with a portion of that money.

According to the govt of Mexico, illegals on US soil are, in fact, Mexican citizens, and that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system.

==============================================

SWORN AFFIDAVIT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO TO A TEXAS COURT
MEXICO SWORE THAT MEXICANS ON US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico/s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system...... declaring that Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.

The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad."

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.

==========================================

Ergo, illegals have two governments looking after their interests.....our govt subsidizing them, and the Mexican govt making sure they collect.

Its time the US govt look after the interests of American citizens.

Obama and Central America honchos in the White House.

=======================================

Central American govts are conspiring against the US---threatening the United States.......UNLESS we send them more foreign aid money.

As you read his words, remember that Guatemalan President Otto Perez is under investigation for misuse of foreign aid. Perez was formally charged on Thursday, June 16, 2016, in a sprawling corruption scheme that emptied government coffers and laundered money to be spent on Miami shopping sprees, real estate and luxury vehicles.

Otto Perez

==============================================

Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns the USA: "you will be inundated w/ more contagious illegals if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over."

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12, 2014 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

“The government has no qualms confiscating cash, cars, boats, and other property if they think it is the result of illegal activity. Just confiscate 100%”

I believe that if you win a bunch of money in Las Vegas, the house has to take 50% and send it to the IRS (there is some sort of lump sum rule). So it would seem to me that since this is illegally earned, hence untaxed income, the law should be written to take 50% of it. And just that act alone would probably make it “unprofitable” for illegals supporting families in Mexico to stay on here. Heretofore, the winners have been the illegals, the RATs and the businesses that hire these people under the table. They leave the lawful citizens of this country on the hook for the costs of educating their children, their health care, welfare, etc. Got to stop now!

Point was, we sent Central America more than a million dollars per person in 2015. Their population is not yet 2 hundred million. What did they do with our money?

There is no practical alternative. You don’t send that across the border in 2.6 million packets under $10k. You don’t mail it and hope it’s not stolen on the south side of the border by their postal service. You don’t carry it yourself and hope you can cross back after President Trump builds the wall. They have to “negotiate” and then give in; they have to pay the costs imposed by their lawless behavior.

That is why all transfers of payments overseas should be subject to a 20% tax. Let Americans claim a tax credit on their individual income tax based on a tax form sent out by financial service companies who withheld the tax and forwarded it to the IRS.

Foreigners who do not file tax returns are SOL and businesses sending money to pay for imports or for outsourced services are also SOL.

That would be the equivalent of a 20% tariff but hit payment for everything — outsourced services as well as imported goods.

THIS JUST in A senior level IT source within the Cali DMV claims DMV data programmers have been instructed to remove the internal coding flags indicating state drivers licenses awarded to illegal aliens.

EYEAMOK INSIGHTFULY POSTED--Does this mean Sanctuary States like California are committing INCOME TAX FRAUD by concealing the CRIMINALS' identity from the Federal Government?? B/C a lot of the people generating remittances work off the books and do not pay payroll taxes.

============================================

Changing computer codes to hide crimes could also entail a govt agency committing crimes of electronic fraud.....and should be investigated by the FBI Electronic Fraud Unit.

It is also possible other federal offenses have been committee including but not limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government (involves several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government),

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights).

<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a "pattern" (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the "pattern" of racketeering activity.

<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

Taxpayers demand the following agencies commence investigations at once:

<><> FBI -- Wire Fraud Division

<><> IRS-Fraud Unit

<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,

<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.

<><> DOJ's Criminal Division-- Public Integrity Section

<><> DOJ Criminal Division--Organized Crime and Gang Section.

I don’t give a hoot how this wall is paid, build it. It kills me how all of a sudden the liberals and commies are concerned about other people’s money being spent. Just like all of a sudden they’re concerned about the Constitution. They are so transparent and disgusting.

“The Remittance Status Verification Act, introduced by then-Senator David Vitter (R-La.) in 2014 but never passed into law, would have fined senders of international cash transfers seven percent of the transfer amount if they could not show “proof of status under U.S. immigration laws.””

-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—

Though well meaning, this Vitter proposal definitely would have the side effect mentioned in the last paragraph.

A simple 2%-5% federal fee on ALL such remittances would not do so, it seems to me.

A 15 or 20% tax on overseas wire transfers would pay for the wall and show illegals it does not pay to come here. Simple solution.

Heck, a 10% tax would bring in a goodly amount, and would not be so large as to drive the remitters to underground non-taxed methods.
