I would love to see our unemployed American citizens earning that money being sent to foreign countries. I bet their families--actual US citizens--would depend on that money too.
Latest figures available for 2014. $54 billion [over $1 billion a week] was transferred from people in the U.S. to people in other countries.
$25 billion to Mexico
$15 billion to China
$10 billion to India
$10 billion to Philippines
Others with high amounts of cash transfers- Vietnam, Nigeria, Guatemala, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Korea.
Most of the people sending the money are working minimum/low wage jobs but can send $54 billion to relatives and friends back home.
Any context to this number? What has been over the last 20 years. $54 billion in an $18 trillion economy doesn't sound like a huge amount of money.

We should charge a 90% tax on these remittances, and then report the people who send them to ICE and the IRS.
They shouldn't be able to send the money without presenting a utility bill and other documentation of where they live so that they can be picked up for prosecution if they are here illegally, and for tax evasion, etc.
I'll be a lot of them get welfare and the Earned Income Tax credit, so they can also be prosecuted for welfare fraud.
The money received in taxes can be used to build the wall, pay for more border enforcement, etc.

Just what we need, a police state.
To reiterate what I said above, why is this necessary? Money sent out of the country are dollars that need to be used to buy something here.
They should also be prosecuted for wire fraud, identity theft, perjury and presenting false documents.
Just keep piling on the felony charges.
It's funny. I watch MSNBC's prison series where American inmates get years and years for committing half or less of the crimes that these illegals commit on a routine basis.
Some American guy passes a bad check, he's black, and Bang! 4 years in prison!

Where do you dream this stuff up? I guess you don't know it isn't illegal to send money abroad. This isn't Nazi Germany. (yet)
But I do marvel at the conservative mind that can reconcile two opposing ideas 1) The idea that people are free to take actions, and; 2) make everything they don't like illegal.
