What "existing law" authorizes the President to simply grab billions of dollars from money people are sending to Mexico?
Executive orders and regulations aren't magically powerful, though they sometimes seem that way. That's why Obama was shot down on his immigration bill, and on his air regs. His actions lacked proper statutory basis. There's nothing even remotely close for this.
Tons of it. Seriously you have not seen how they grab OUR money very easy now...
I think you’re misunderstanding things. It’s not legal for an illegal alien in the United States to send illegally earned wages to Mexico. Trump is not saying that he’s going to seize the money and use it to pay for the wall. He’s saying that he’s going to enforce the laws that would prevent that cash from flowing unless the Mexican government steps up and pays for the wall. There’s $20+ billion at stake, which is a significant part of the Mexican economy. Chances are they’ll quickly back down rather than place their economy and hence their government at risk.
So Bruce, your idea is to give up before the fight is begun right? Now go vote for Hillary so none of this will have to bother you any longer! People like you are why after 50 years or more, this is stil an “unresolved problem.” I can bring in “legions” who can tell me why we can’t do any of this to change our circumstances, or I can simply vote for Donald Trump with the idea that he will at least TRY to fix things! Sheesh!
