He’s not my emperor, and the obnoxious talk gets us nowhere.
Two years in, and still very little military on the border. No taxing of remittances. You and others are willing to go after some us despite there being no coherent strategy to fight the invasion. The emergency is wasted political capital. The President can close the border NOW. Why hasn’t he? I ask that as a supporter. I have been posting about military presence on the border for years. I was talking about the invasion all the way back in the Boosh presidency (not in this forum). Are you seriously thinking Trump should make his last stand on emergency funding??
You're absolutely right about this. The only way that Mexico rather than US taxpayers will pay for this wall is to all remittances sent by foreign nationals and their families back to their home country, with Mexico and Central America being the main source.
I don't understand why taxing remittances wasn't at the top of the President's agenda from the get-go. It's a win-win strategy that would also provide tax relief to Americans by taxing foreign countries and foreign nationals.
