Illegal aliens for decades are taking jobs from Americans and by their own admission send money to their family members to help them out. That is a huge loss to the US economy.

Why are Americans not more upset about that!

On top of that there are Countries where money earned has to stay in Country and only small amounts can leave the Country.

Some artists who perform in these Countries are buying homes on the Island as money earned can't all be taken but has to be used to support Mallorca as that is for example one of the Countries that has that rule.

To me it is appalling that we as legal aliens paid all of fees and obeyed laws, requirements to stay her and it was not just a timely but also costly road to green card etc.

I understand that people want to help their families but than stay in your native country and work and support your family there and not by skipping to pay taxes, using false SSN, etc and than sending money abroad.

Not only that, but they "file" for refundable tax credits that are FAR in excess of what they supposedly pay.

The IRS is aiding and abetting illegal aliens embezzling millions of dollars from US taxpayers because as they put it, they're not in the business of enforcing immigration law.


It's theft. Nothing more. These people are criminals.

The employers of the said are just as equally guilty. As such, they should all be held accountable.

We need to attach fees to wire transfers and divert that money into The Wall fund. We'd have the money in no time. Who needs Congress?

LOL!

A federal "wall fee"....

Not a bad idea!

There already are fees attached to wire transfers via services such as Moneygram or Western Union.

It costs more to wire $50 within the US than it does to wire $500 to Sierra Leone, Honduras or Guyana as examples.

The feds don't get a cut until the MG or WU agents pay their business taxes.

Agreed. Put an annual cap of say $5000.00 all other personal transfers are subject to a 30% tax.
