White House weighing a tax on remittances to Mexico to fund border wall

Other countries don't have 10+ Million illegal invaders breaking their finances. Whats cheesy is that people have allowed us to get this far with their misplaced feelings.

 

They most certainly do............

 

Yeah, but, they also have genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Why not just impose harsh duties on China for N. Korea and Mexico for pricing America out of the market?

 

Well you can document that with some links if you choose to. In any regard, we are on the hook for over 100 Billion per year for these illegal invaders. It's a serious problem here.

Mexico certainly can be forced to pay.

On top of these remittance taxes, the Border Adjustment tax is another way.

Mexican workers don't enjoy the same standards as American workers, that's why jobs go to Mexico...

Something's got to change.

 

good luck with that, you seriously think they are telling the government hey, I am getting ready to send my Mom some cash, please tax me 4% for it

would cost more to enforce then it brought in

 

The EU sanction Facebook.
Germany vow to build in Mexico despite any hike in price.

 

some on the right believe the idea that Americans worker need to become 3rd world wage earners so corporate America will hire them, places like India are stealing our information jobs and those that control the information control the power - that is a serious national security risk

 

yeah, could be a fence, and like his corporations, he is gonna hire Mexicans to build it

 

All the Gulf States have huge numbers of foreign workers. Americans are largely ignorant about the rest of the world.

 

we really need import tax on all goods and services coming into the USA

we also need to tax American corps 30% higher and then offer a 30% tax break to those that only hire American

 

Foreign workers....or illegal aliens? They aren't the same thing of course. We have both here as well.

 

make it a felony for anyone that knowingly hires an illegal and the illegal problem goes away almost overnight

 

I'm on board with that as well.
This problem is not just the people coming here, but for those inviting them here and rewarding them. All sides need to be addressed.

 

KSA for instance rounds up thousands of illegals or those who overstay their work visas every year and sends them home.

Foreign nationals in the US .. whether legal or not still pay taxes of all sorts.

 

So they aren't inundated with an excess of 10+ million illegal citizens like we are, contrary to your claim earlier?

The Illegal aliens do not pay all the taxes the rest of us do, yet they suck up services to the tune of 100+ billion per year.

 

Right.. The price increase would be so good for Americans.

 

Illegals pay taxes on everything except income tax.

 

Not sure why you remind me of this, I said as much in what you quoted with "do not pay all the taxes the rest of us do". There's too much willful dishonesty in discussions about Illegal Aliens.
They aren't "foreign nationals", they aren't "undocumented migrants" or any other term people use to try and blend them into something other than what they are...which is people who knowingly abuse our immigration laws for their own gain. Illegal Aliens.

And they cost us over 100 Billion every year sucking up services they're not entitled to.

 

Many other countries don't have border either, look how that's working out for them now.

 

For a few limited things that might be okay but...........you don't suppose that those countries affected might do the same to our exports? Then what? That's terrible for American exports that don't have a captive market or unique product.

 

which is fine, if they want to tax their people for buying stuff overseas, more power to them, if they need our stuff more then they need jobs, then they would be better off not taxing it, the reason for taxing it, is to make it cost the same as buying local and selling local

the only things that should not be taxed is things we can not produce ourselves

I am not saying it wont be hard, we put our hand in Pandora's box, wont be easy taking it out
