Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Why are foreigners allowed to send ANY money out of america.?? The money they get is either thru crime or welfare or a job they stole from an american.

march 30 2017 A group of House Republicans on Thursday introduced the first major bill to fund President Trump’s border wall, saying the government could collect billions of dollars by imposing a 2 percent fee on all the money Mexicans and other immigrants send back home.

Estimates vary, but remittances from those in the U.S. to their relatives back home could top $130 billion a year. A 2 percent tax could net more than $2 billion a year if it applied to all money regardless of who’s sending it.

“This bill is simple — anyone who sends their money to countries that benefit from our porous borders and illegal immigration should be responsible for providing some of the funds needed to complete the wall,” Rep. Mike Rogers, Alabama Republican, said in a statement. “This bill keeps money in the American economy, and most importantly, it creates a funding stream to build the wall.”

It would be difficult for reasons you've mentioned. If they work it's usually under the table. Only thing left would be to take portions of money away from their welfare and food stamps.

thats why you are taxing the act of sending the money not the act of earning it. Whether you earn it over or under the table you have to send it the same way.

Critics will say that there will now be a stream of illicit donkeys carrying cartloads of cash to mexico via the cartel. The key is to make the tax low enough that the donkey method is stillmore expensive which 2% seems like it would do.
 
Yes, let's become China and tax money leaving the country. We already tax money coming into the country (and thus people keep it overseas).
 
Domer, I'll let you in on a secret. People with wealth don't leave their money exposed to marginal tax rates. Even your beloved liberals

Because you're an ignorant and unemployable prick.

We get it. A black got hired over you without having to use affirmative action. It must be sad to know that those from a group with an average 85 IQ didn't have to use a government program favoring race to beat you out of a job. Yet you're still a NL.
