Not stopping Mexico from pilfering from the cruise ship travelers. Got notice that every passenger after July 1st is being levied $5 more per port on every sailing.
Even the ones we booked before July 1st.
Time to trash the Jones act and allow ships to sail from US ports to nowhere !! I can’t tell you how many DON’T get off in Mexico but the Jones act requires a foreign port and the cash flows to those countries even when you don’t leave the ship.
Remittances make up 4 to 5 percent of Mexico’s total GDP. It would nice if that money were reinvested in America instead of Mexican grocery stores.
If I’m not mistaken, remittance payments are now TAXED at 1%. The Big Beautiful Bill had an initial remittance tax of 5%, then it was lowered to 3%, then ended up at 1%. Better than nothing, I suppose.
Not enough.
And why aren’t we taxing these “remittances” at 40%?
This is excellent news .... however .... there needs to be an immediate fee added to all remittances going to Mexico/Central America of at least 20%.
This would cut down EVEN MORE, on the majority living here and sending our tax dollars and illegally earned earnings out of this country.
I like your 40% tax idea, better than my 20% fee 😂
Yes, a cash drain of billions of dollars a month, adds up. Taken straight out of our economy and added to Mexico’s.
mexico is a failed loser country that is only able to somewhat function by sponging off us.
Mexico will pay for the wall.
I refuse to go on any cruise ship that stops in Mexico - heard too many horror stories. The Caribbean isn’t much better.
Alaska, however...
Good.
A local Home Depo (Los Angeles) got raided yesterday - masked ICE agents jumped out of the back of a Penske moving van and arrested 16 illegals.
Local pols went ballistic, claiming Trump was “violating a federal judge’s order” - it was great watching these idiots heads’ explode on the evening news.
Oooh, the cartels won’t like this. Cartels smuggle illegals across borders. Those (now criminals) illegals owe the coyotes (the cartel agents) loads of $$. This is paid back by remittances.
No, remittances do not go to family members. Yeah, the family members are receivers; but, the cartel agents drop by to get the $$.
Imagine the interest on that “loan”. College loans for a degree in the US pale in comparison.
While using the USA as a pinata.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN 100%.
PELOSI MUST OWN WESTERN UNION STOCK
Money removed from America circulation.
I agree. Not a cruiser. Never will be.
But have you tried a Royal Horton Cruise?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Deport the illegal aliens, and other problems start to diminish.
