That is why Mexico opposes the fence.
“That is why Mexico opposes the fence.”
It’s also why the SOBs running Mexico have no incentive to clean up their stinking, third-world hellhole.
Why can’t we tax the money that they send to Mexico? Recently a Republican congressman introduced a bill to do just that, and a bill to do away with the anchor baby problem. Naturally, neither one of these bills went anywhere. I don’t understand why we can’t stop this practice. Keep them from sending so much $ home,and maybe they’ll go home.
“Mexico’s emigrants last year sent nearly $25 billion home to family members. That money has become an important anchor in many rural communities and poor metropolitan neighborhoods. “
Give 25 billion to Mexico in exchange for taking their people back and putting them to work building the fence.
A ten percent tax on transfers of cash out of the country would put a huge dent in that, and help with the deficit. I'm sure the Democrats will hurry to put up such legilation to quell the deficit they're so concerned about.
I live in an town with alot of farms and around Harvest Time you see alot of Mexicans in our local stores sending electronic funds to what I can only assume is “back home”. They drive around stuffed into these hoopties (old beat up cars)... I mean the car is full of people. They stare at my daughter. I hate to be prejudiced, but I find them to be menacing at times. On the Eastern Shore (very rural area) of Virginia, they actually busted a brothel run by illegals for illegals. The state of Virginia is being overrun by illegals.
