A border state Republican congressman is introducing a bill that would effectively use foreign funds to help pay for President Trump's planned wall on the Mexican border.
Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona authored House Resolution 6657, which would establish a separate U.S. Treasury account to "hold deposits to be used to secure the southern border of the United States."
Republican Reps. Scott Des Jarlais of Tennessee, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Matt Gaetz of Florida and Paul Gosar of Arizona have signed on as co-sponsors.
Biggs said in a statement obtained by The Washington Examiner that "even with a Republican-controlled [Congress], we have failed to secure the funds for the border wall. In the meantime, our Border Patrol agents suffer demoralizing losses of resources and personnel."

Thanks bitt.
Rather than a fine, a 10 percent tax on remittances would be more than enough for the wall.
Good luck getting Ryan on board.
Since citizens are taxed every which way but loose, the same standards should apply to the invader/parasite class.
Ryan and McConnell will see that this goes nowhere.
The Chamber of Corruption has probably already ordered them to make sure this bill is stillborn.

Well played.
