I can just see the rats filibustering taxing the remittances...that’ll go over like a lead balloon. What would their talking points be?
That's easy - they would talk about those poor "undocumented immigrants", working so hard to earn money to support their families, and how the evil GOP wants to steal that money from them and make them pay to keep their families from joining them!
Remember, these are Democrats - they don't have to be intellectually consistent. And getting future Dem voters into the country will outweigh the possibility of getting more tax money to spend...
