It’s time we taxed “remittances” at say 25% or more.
That would remove one of the major incentives for illegal immigration.
Move it to 75%.
Pretend it's unreported income, tax it as if it were from $100,000 of annualized income with no deductions or credits.
Oh? That's too high? File a 1040 on April 15th and reclaim any over payment.
Deliberately claiming you have less income than you actually do would be a VERY bad move. No statute of limitations on defrauding the IRS...
Look and see what other countries charge
Find the highest and quadruple it
Like if you win at a Caribbean casino what
you get to take home
