The Mexican President calls them Mexican migrants, when they really are illegal aliens.
ALL illegal aliens MUST be removed and the rule of law restored if we want to keep our country.
Perhaps unrelated, but I walked through a patch of leeches years ago and didn’t even know they were there until I noticed drops of blood on my socks. Sneaky little critters.
Take 3% minimum.
Pay for the wall
The more migrants arrested the higher the percentage to the country of origin
Stimulus Checks ?
Most of it in $1200 increments I’m guessing.
It’s time we taxed “remittances” at say 25% or more.
That would remove one of the major incentives for illegal immigration.
I suspect that in many cases, the money was soon followed by the people sending it.
200,000+ non h1b migrants will be sent home to make room for Americans for jobs. Could be they know what’s coming
That’s $4 billion in wealth leaving the USA.
My experience with Mexicans in the US is that they send to Mexico all of the surplus left after they cover their US expenses. With everything locked down, they have had no place to spend their money. Thus the amount available to send to Mexico has been large.
Consider. If there is 15% or 25% unemployment then that means there is 75% or 85% employment. We in the 75% or 85% who are employed have not been able to spend our money. The result is that there is a pent up amount of money in the 75% or 85% waiting to be spent.
Most of us have been paying down our credit card balances.
Who ever correctly anticipates what we will buy with the pent up money will become rich....unless the government determines that it is unfair to seize the opportunity.
A 1% tax would yield $40 million...
ILLEGALS are getting PAID by FedGov,working their off the books or illegal SS# “gig” and send money back to Mexico as Americans are suffering horribly.
Should be taxed to cover Wall construction and sanctuary city expenses.
The $$ amount isn’t the crazy number - it’s the number of transactions. 10MM transactions PER MONTH tells us there’s at least that many of them in these US, that are working to send the $$ home.
Then many of these likely have a husband or wife whose $$ are combined, since it saves on fees. (Same reason I would think most of them would send $$ home once a month, not weekly or so.)
Figure what, two kids per illegal there? (Probably more on average.)
So the big official estimate of 10-12MM illegal aliens present in these US turns into something more like 30MM or more!
