Aid In The Desert

[Allen]

Why is it "our" socialists want the illegals here but won't pay for them while here? Peebles states he needs people to work for him, yet I have not heard that HE is willing to take full responsibility for them while here. What's up with that? Togey like to run his mouth, same as RKT how many ARE THEY willing to sponsor? These 3 are all hat and no show!

Even if people were willing to take care of them they would still be on our soil and reproducing.

A MUCH better scenario I think is for these bleeding heart liberals to go to THEIR countries and take care of them. Of course they would have to stay there because the slackers are never going to be self-supporting.

Are they taking jobs or a drain on domestic welfare? Allen and Boggs have to sort out their arguments a bit.

When they only came to WORK, sending their wages back home to their families (which, incidentally, is still how about half the population of the Philippines support themselves), they were not taking jobs nor sponging on welfare. It's when they came to STAY, either bringing their large families with them, or starting new ones with some accommodating native whore, or both, that they became parasites.

True and the money they send back "home" is not only for support but to finance their trip to the U.S. to stay and set up housekeeping.

[S.A. Boggs]

I have no problem with people coming to the U.S. legally to work, I do having them sponge. As to sending $, place a user fee of say 5% on ANY money transmitted overseas and the money to be placed in our treasury for border security only.

5% on any money transmitted overseas??

Dont think the offshore folks are going to go for that.

nor any business that purchases or sell goods from overseas,,,

Like many of us do on a daily basis. Sam would like a tariff of 5% on all finanical transactions. I think most would favor less taxation, as a strict fiscally conservative principle.

They can live much better in their home countries on the income from a US job than they could live here on the same money. But then, at home, they wouldn't have the US benefits of free schooling, health care, etc., so that's why most have given up the old system, esp. since they know that in sanctuary states they now have little to fear from US authorities.

[togor]

5% would bite a few ex-pats also who are Americans but earn their living overseas. Hey can we call it a tax? Some taxes are suddenly popular among some on the right now.

I am talking about private money, not corporation. "User fee" would help finance guarding our border from those who want to come here illegal or smuggler's.

western union, due to Frank Dodd Act IIRC already has a pile of regulations on sending money to mexico (vs sending it anywhere esle)

W\U makes a ton of money sending money to mexico

[S.A. Boggs]

Since I don't/never have sent $ out of country, I am not familiar with the regulations. Locally Wal-Mart does a great deal of them with the foreign students buying them. Why would/could be the issue of utilizing a foreign transaction fee of 5% of the total remitted for border security?

it would be a federal tax, meaning it would need federal approval, unless enacted state wide in all the states,
granted a tax on one specific thing, but a tax it is,
