It’s their money, they worked for it... except it’s not really, or at least, not completely.

The debating points are usually incomplete:

The Dems want votes, eventually, and don’t mind increasing costs on us in the meantime. On the Republican side, it’s often said that what they want is cheap labor. But, the labor isn’t really cheap—the illegals get paid less, but that’s because while they don’t pay taxes, the rest of us pick up their tab in free medical, education for their illegal and anchor baby children, and increased criminal costs.

It’s just another form of cost-shifting to the taxpayer at large while some benefit.

That’s why it’s not really their money.

A 30% tax on it going forward will pay for the wall and all operating expenses and a whole lot of border security costs.

Make US dollars illegal overseas? Use local money you get from an ATM.

These illegal colonists crap on our country doing their best to make America their new sh*thole, suck the t*t of American welfare/benefits and send money back to their real sh*thole country that they already destroyed. Only a libtard would think this is good.

Western Union charges $8 to wire any amount of Money to Mexico. That must be enough money to build hundreds of miles of wall.

How many billions of local taxpayer dollars do retired government employees suck out of the Democrat northeast economy every month to Florida?

Western Union needs a reaming. Also used for illegal drug purchases abroad (called IOPs online). Many of the IOPs work out of China.....but cloak it from other countries.

At a 2.5% level fee, that would amount to $3.5 billion per year.

Four or five years, you’ve got a pretty good wall paid for.

That money leaves the U.S. permanently, never to return and never to circulate with our own economy.

How can we NOT tax such a financial drain?

A 10% tax would pay for it in 2 years.

Money back to Mexico was first or second at the top of their GNP next to gasoline.

$$$$ not spent in the US. Why are we propping up s-hole countries?
